Machine Learning Lead Engineer
We're looking for a Machine Learning Lead Engineer who wants to operate as a player-coach - someone still very hands-on, but excited to grow into a proper management role over time. This is not a pure manager role from day one. You'll be building, shipping, and improving ML systems while gradually taking on more team leadership responsibilities.
Key Responsibilities
What you'll do:
- Build and maintain production-grade ML systems and pipelines
- Stay hands-on (coding, reviews, debugging, deployments)
- Mentor a small team of ML engineers (2-3 people initially)
- Establish ML engineering & MLOps best practices
- Improve deployment, monitoring, and model lifecycle management
- Collaborate with DS, Risk, Product, and Engineering
- Help shape roadmap and hiring
