This role involves close collaboration with stakeholders and cross-functional teams to communicate project progress, propose ML-based solutions, and ensure successful delivery of business outcomes.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions, with a focus on ML-driven features and systems.
• Collaborate with product and data teams to identify opportunities for ML-based solutions.
• Develop and maintain backend services using Java, Spring Boot, and Python, and build responsive UIs using ReactJS.
• Build and manage data pipelines, feature engineering workflows, and model evaluation processes.
• Deploy ML models using APIs and microservices architecture.
• Work with PostgreSQL and other data stores for structured and semi-structured data.
• Conduct root cause analysis and participate in code reviews for both ML and application code.
• Partner with product and business teams to identify opportunities for machine learning integration and data-driven decision-making.
• Develop and maintain full-stack applications using modern technologies (backend, frontend, and data layers).
• Test applications and ML components using TDD/BDD practices to ensure reliability and performance.
• Conduct root cause analysis for both application and model-related issues, including performance degradation.
• Participate in code reviews across both software and ML components to ensure quality and best practices.
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines, including support for ML model deployment and monitoring (MLOps practices).
• Solve complex technical and ML-related challenges with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and efficiency.
