Our client, a leader in the AI Testing Industry, is looking for a skilled Machine Learning Engineer / AI Engineer to join their team for a 12‑month engagement. This project involves developing, deploying, and optimizing machine learning models to improve performance on domain‑specific datasets and integrating them into production applications. This is a high‑impact role that requires a self‑motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

• Developing and fine‑tuning machine learning models to improve performance on domain‑specific datasets.
• Integrating AI models into production applications via scalable REST or gRPC APIs.
• Implementing data preprocessing and feature engineering pipelines to ensure high-quality model inputs.
• Monitoring model performance in production and executing retraining loops to combat model drift.
• Troubleshooting performance bottlenecks in the model inference path to minimize latency for end‑users.

• 4+ years of experience in Machine Learning or Software Engineering.
• Deep expertise in Python, PyTorch/Tensor Flow, and scikit‑learn. This isn’t a learning role—you need to be a subject‑matter expert.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud‑based ML platforms (Sage Maker, Vertex AI).
• Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
