What we are looking for

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer Applied AI & Intelligence Systems you will lead the design development and operationalization of intelligent ML solutions across our platform. Your primary focus will be to architect and implement scalable machine learning componentssuch as drag-and-drop model modules automated training pipelines model lifecycle orchestration and self-sustaining feedback loops.

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer Applied AI & Intelligence Systems you will drive the design and deployment of advanced ML capabilities that power intelligent scalable and user-friendly systems. Youll work across the full model lifecyclefrom data exploration to integrationenabling intuitive AI-driven workflows that support anomaly detection classification knowledge extraction and more. Your contributions will ensure that both technical and non-technical users can leverage AI effectively and responsibly.

Key Focus Areas:

• Anomaly Detection & Forecasting Detect faults or unusual behaviours in large-scale systems. Anticipate what might break before it does.
• Scoring & Classification Systems Develop fast reliable models for real-time decision-making on tabular or sequential data
• Clustering & Pattern Recognition Uncover hidden patterns in complex datasets such as user behaviour or network activity
• Transformer-Based Applications Apply pretrained transformer models for:
• Knowledge extraction from logs and documents
• Embedding generation for similarity search or matching
• Lightweight LLM-style Q&A or summarization in closed environments
• LLM Evaluation & Integration Evaluate and integrate open-source or API-based LLMs (e.g. Mistral LLaMA OpenAI Claude Gemini) to determine practical value and guide responsible usage whether using open source (Mistral LLaMA) or APIs (OpenAI Claude Gemini)

Your Toolkit (or Willingness to Learn)

• One or more ML frameworks PyTorch TensorFlow JAX.
