Hiring on behalf of a leading AI research lab to bring on highly skilled Machine Learning Engineers with a proven record of building, training, and evaluating high-performance ML systems in real-world environments. In this role, you will design, implement, and curate high-quality machine learning datasets, tasks, and evaluation workflows that power the training and benchmarking of advanced AI systems.
This position is ideal for engineers who have excelled in competitive machine learning settings such as Kaggle, possess deep modelling intuition, and can translate complex real-world problem statements into robust, well-structured ML pipelines and datasets. You will work closely with researchers and engineers to develop realistic ML problems, ensure dataset quality, and drive reproducible, high-impact experimentation.
Candidates should have 3+ years of applied ML experience or a strong record in competitive ML, and must be based in India. Ideal applicants are proficient in Python, experienced in building reproducible pipelines, and familiar with benchmarking frameworks, scoring methodologies, and ML evaluation best practices
