Machine Learning Engineer

We are looking for a Middle/Senior ML Engineer to turn loosely framed business problems into reliable, actionable models for a proprietary trading platform that connects traders with funding opportunities. You will work in a high-load, low-latency environment processing millions of events in real time, taking ownership from problem framing and feature engineering through model testing and business-ready results.

Required for this role

• Solid grounding in machine learning theory, with the ability to explain and justify modeling decisions beyond library calls.
• Hands-on experience with Python, NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn.
• Experience working with PySpark, including MLlib, for data processing and machine learning.
• Practical experience with XGBoost or other gradient boosting methods (GBM).
• Understanding of logistic regression and its practical application to business problems.
• Experience with survival analysis or time-to-event modeling.
• Knowledge of hierarchical modeling methods and when to apply them.
• Experience using MLflow or comparable experiment and model tracking tools.
• Ability to independently frame a problem from rough context, engineer features, build and test models, and translate results into actions the business can use.
• Strong communication and comfort with ambiguity, including asking questions and flagging unclear assumptions early.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with Microsoft Fabric.

Your responsibilities

• Take loosely framed business problems and develop appropriate ML solutions from scratch.
• Explore data, test hypotheses, and iterate on potential approaches in notebooks.
• Engineer features and build models using gradient boosting, logistic regression, survival analysis, or hierarchical methods, depending on the problem.
• Select rigorous, relevant evaluation metrics based on the business objective and modeling approach.
• Validate whether models hold up against the available data and intended use case.
• Translate experimental findings and model results into clear, actionable outcomes for the business.
• Challenge problem framing when assumptions do not hold, and communicate questions, risks, or blockers early.
