Who You Are

You are an early-to-mid career engineer who enjoys building real products—not just experimenting with models. You take ownership, ship features, and are comfortable working across backend systems and ML components.

This is not a research role—we’re looking for someone who can translate ML capabilities into scalable, production-ready product features and integrate them seamlessly into our platform.

You align with Ontic’s values:
Do Good Above All, Raise the Bar, Lead with Empathy, Walk the Walk, Keep Moving

• Strong programming skills in Java and Python

• Solid experience with Spring Framework / Spring Boot for building backend services

• Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, LangChain, or similar

• Experience building backend services/APIs and integrating ML models into applications

• Familiarity with data pipelines and tools like Airflow, Spark, or similar

• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

• Basic understanding of MLOps practices (model deployment, monitoring, CI/CD)

• Experience with Docker (Kubernetes is a plus)

• Strong problem-solving ability and willingness to learn and adapt quickly

• Good communication and collaboration skills

Key Responsibilities

• Build and ship ML-powered product features that deliver real customer value

• Develop and maintain backend services using Java (Spring Boot) and Python

• Integrate ML capabilities into existing backend systems and microservices architecture

• Work on data pipelines and model workflows from ingestion to inference

• Collaborate with senior engineers to design scalable and reliable systems

• Deploy and monitor models in production, ensuring performance and stability

• Troubleshoot issues across the stack (data, model, and backend systems)

• Contribute to code quality, testing, and documentation standards

• Participate in system design discussions and cross-team collaboration

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with LLMs or AI-driven product features

• Familiarity with microservices architecture and distributed systems

• Exposure to Kubernetes or production-scale deployments

• Understanding of feature stores or data versioning

• Interest or experience in security or risk-related domains

What Sets This Role Apart

• Strong focus on engineering and product delivery, not research

• Opportunity to work on real-world, high-impact systems

• Deep integration of ML into a mature backend platform (Java/Spring ecosystem)
