As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will design, develop, and operationalize highly complex and large-scale Machine Learning Solutions on the Google Cloud Platform. In addition to the traditional machine learning toolset, you will work with large language models, vector stores, deep learning, and other advanced tools to handle, analyze, and generate insights from large volumes of data.

You will be working with a mature data science organization at a Fortune 6 company. You will be responsible for operationalizing the analytical workloads and ML Pipelines using GCP AI/ML Services to support traditional ML use cases, as well as NLP, NLM, audio or image processing. You will support the deployment of advanced algorithms and applications, follow architecture and engineering best practices, and deliver software that is well documented, error free, scalable and performance optimized.

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will:

• Develop and implement machine learning models using appropriate algorithms and techniques. This includes model selection, training, tuning, and evaluation.

• Design, develop, and deploy scalable and high-performance data pipelines using GCP services (e.g., Dataflow, Dataproc, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, Cloud Storage)

• Use software development best practices like code review, continuous integration, and continuous delivery (CI/CD), release management, and version control.

• Develop and maintain data quality checks and monitoring systems to ensure data accuracy and completeness.

• Collaborate with data scientists and machine learning engineers to optimize data for model training and inference.

• Build and maintain data infrastructure for AI/ML workloads, including feature stores, model registries, and experiment tracking systems.

• Automate data pipelines and infrastructure using tools like Apache Airflow or similar orchestration platforms.

• Troubleshoot and resolve data-related issues and performance bottlenecks.

• Stay up to date with the latest advancements in data engineering, cloud computing, and AI/ML technologies.

• Work to enhance existing test automation processes, improving efficiency, and reducing manual intervention across environments.

• Partner with teams and serve as cross-functional expert to provide bench-marked solutions to multiple, complex technical projects/initiatives using multiple interlocking technologies.

• Implement data quality checks and monitoring to ensure data accuracy and reliability for model training and prediction.

As leaders in healthcare, our analytics and engineering teams deliver innovative solutions to business problems by collaborating with cross-functional teams in a dynamic and agile environment. You will be part of a team that values collaboration and encourages innovative thinking at all levels. You will be intellectually challenged to solve problems associated with large scale complex, structured and unstructured data, that will allow you to grow your technical skills and engineering expertise.
