As a Machine Learning Engineer, you'll work alongside NVIDIA’s data annotation platform team, dedicated to addressing our evolving annotation data needs for training and evaluating LLMs. We value expertise in data science paired with a robust data engineering foundation. Together, we'll architect data pipelines, delve into advanced data analysis, and craft models using ML/AI. We seek someone proficient in programming and scripting for comprehensive data manipulation, analysis, and model creation.  If you share a passion for innovation and creating exceptional experiences through the integration and management of large data sets, then you're the one we've been searching for! We believe in proactive problem-solving, minimal supervision, and being exceptional teammates who collaborate, think, and learn as one unit. Let's make a difference together!

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop and implement ML models: Design, develop, and deploy scalable machine learning models and algorithms that address complex business challenges
• Improve and experiment with new directions and provide ML solutions in data annotation platform.
• Build models and algorithms to understand user interest, user intent, and improve content relevancy.
• Responsible for end-to-end design and development, starting from requirements gathering with business and engineering partners to deployment to product systems using Agile development methodology.
• Architect solutions for complex data platforms, and large scale CI/CD data pipelines using a variety of technologies, relational and non-relational databases, and data warehouse solutions for data-driven marketing and compliance requirements.
• Data pre-processing and analysis: Collaborate with data scientists and data engineers to collect, clean, pre-process, and transform large and wide datasets. Conduct exploratory data analysis (EDA) to uncover insights and identify patterns that boost the model performance.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams: Collaborate with product engineers, data scientists, and analysts to understand business requirements and translate them into machine learning solutions.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related field or equivalent experience.
• Expertise as a Machine Learning Engineer or a similar role, with a consistent record of successfully delivering ML solutions.
• Strong programming skills in languages such as Python. Experience with frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn.
