Machine Learning Solutions Architect
phData

Machine Learning Engineers are the Swiss army knives of machine learning. They’re ready for anything, and they bring all the tools to ensure that data science models see the light of day. They own the infrastructure and deployment plan—from making sure data science models can actually be built using customer data to deploying them into a production environment, and everything in between.  They provide thought leadership by recommending the right technologies and solutions for a given use case, from the application layer to infrastructure.  Machine Learning Engineers have the team leadership and coding skills (e.g. Python, Java, and Scala) to get their solutions into production — and to help ensure performance, security, scalability, and robust data integration.

As a Solutions Architect on our Machine Learning Engineering team, you are responsible for:

Designing and implementing data solutions best suited to deliver on our customer needs — from model inference, retraining, monitoring, and beyond — across an evolving technical stack.

Providing thought leadership by recommending the technologies and solution design for a given use case, from the application layer to infrastructure; and they have the team leadership and coding skills (e.g. Python, Java, and Scala) to build and operate in production; and to help ensure performance, security, scalability, and robust data integration.

What you’ll do in this role:

Design and create environments for data scientists to build models and manipulate data

Work within customer systems to extract data and place it within an analytical environment

Learn and understand customer technology environments and systems

Define the deployment approach and infrastructure for models and be responsible for ensuring that businesses can use the models we develop

Demonstrate the business value of data by working with data scientists to manipulate and transform data into actionable insights

Reveal the true value of data by working with data scientists to manipulate and transform data into appropriate formats in order to deploy actionable machine learning models

Partner with data scientists to ensure solution deployability—at scale, in harmony with existing business systems and pipelines, and such that the solution can be maintained throughout its life cycle

Create operational testing strategies, validate and test the model in QA, and implementation, testing, and deployment

Ensure the quality of the delivered product
