- MLOps: Improving ML pipelines at scale
Core Stack:
As we work with many clients, our stack varies, but we often use:
- Python APIs: FastAPI
- Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes
- Model Training & Serving: LightGBM, CatBoost, PyTorch, HuggingFace
- Data Engineering: Pandas, Polars
- LLM Frameworks: LangChain, LangGraph
- Observability: MLFlow, Langfuse
- Cloud Platforms: AWS, GCP
- Search: Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Solr
The Role:
We’re looking for a Junior Machine Learning Engineer to help us deliver projects rapidly. You’ll report to and be mentored by a senior team member. This is a hands-on role from day one, working on real projects that make a tangible impact.
