Senior ML Engineer

Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with strong experience in the Telecommunications (Telco) domain to design, develop, deploy, and maintain production-ready machine learning solutions.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in ML model development, feature engineering, deployment, monitoring, and retraining, with a strong understanding of MLOps practices and the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle.

• →Develop and deploy production-grade machine learning models for Telco use cases.
• →Build ML solutions for use cases such as customer churn prediction, customer segmentation/clustering, and demand forecasting.
• →Prepare, clean, transform, and analyze large customer datasets.
• →Perform feature engineering and develop relevant features for machine learning models.
• →Train, validate, and evaluate supervised and unsupervised machine learning models.
• →Use Python for data preparation, model development, validation, and automation.
• →Use SQL to access, extract, transform, and process data from various sources.
• →Implement and maintain MLOps pipelines across the ML lifecycle.
• →Manage model versioning, deployment, production monitoring, and retraining.
• →Monitor model performance and data/model drift in production and take appropriate corrective actions.
• →Collaborate with data engineers, data scientists, and business stakeholders to deliver scalable ML solutions.
• →Ensure ML models are reliable, maintainable, and suitable for production environments.
• →Continuously improve existing models, features, and ML workflows based on production results.
