Develop, deploy, and maintain Machine Learning models and retraining systems:

• Integrate data science models into Data and ML pipelines in collaboration with data scientists and data engineers
• Design and execute machine learning tests and experiments, by applying best practices for experiment tracking and model registry
• Build and orchestrate MLOps pipelines including CI/CD to automate data ingestion and transformation, model (re-)training, (re-)deployment, inference and monitoring
• Support the industrialization of scalable data science solutions through automation and continuous delivery
• Identifying changes in models and shifts in data distribution that could affect model performance, and apply appropriate measures for protecting against drifts
• Apply strong testing and quality assurance practices
• Support field trials with our customers using the mobility analytics software modules and tools
• Analyses and checks the suitability of an algorithm if it caters the needs of the current task/business problem
• Attend meetings, submit work progress reports and perform related duties as required.

Performance measurements:

• Number of models deployed and kept compliant with requirements according to prescribed performance metrics
• On Time Delivery (OTD)
• Developments Quality Cost Delivery (QCD)

Educational Requirements

Mandatory:

• Degree in computer science or engineering supplemented by extensive training in data science/ML or related discipline

Desirable:

• Master’s degree in the fields of statistics or machine learning or applied mathematics or related disciplines

Experience

Mandatory:

• Excellent knowledge of Python programming, with software engineering skills including DevOps and CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with Python data science stack (pandas, scikit-learn, Keras, Numpy, TensorFlow)
• Experience in building supervised and unsupervised ML models and in optimizing model (hyper-)parameters tuning for performance and costs
• Strong mathematical skills (probability and statistics, algebra, optimization)
• Knowledge of continuous integration tools and technologies (Jenkins, Ansible, Git)
• Experience with SQL/NoSQL database management
• Experience with LINUX environment (shell scripting)

   

Desirable:

• Experience with cloud technologies, preferably on Azure
• Experience with containerization and orchestration tools (Docker, Airflow, NiFi, Kubernetes, OpenFaaS) for production
• Experience in MLOps frameworks (e.g.  MLFlow and DVC)
