About the Team
Your Mission
As Data & Machine Learning Engineer, you own the data infrastructure and ML model development for the OAA team's AI use cases. You build the pipelines that feed models with clean, reliable data from both operational systems and back-office sources, deploy models into production, and ensure they perform reliably — from yield prediction on the line to anomaly detection in financial data.
Responsibilities
- Design and build data pipelines from operational (MES, ERP) and back-office sources feeding ML models
- Develop ML models for production and back-office use cases — from experimentation through to production deployment
- Deploy models into production: serving infrastructure, monitoring, drift detection, and retraining workflows
- Work with the OAA Lead and stakeholders to scope and validate ML use cases — feasibility, data availability, ROI
- Collaborate with the Automation Engineer to integrate model outputs into automated workflows
- Maintain and improve deployed models as data distributions and operational conditions evolve
- Document data pipelines, model architectures, feature definitions, and deployment configurations
Required Skills
- 4–7 years in data engineering or ML engineering
- Demonstrated experience deploying ML models to production: not just research or notebook-level work
- Python: core language for data engineering and ML development
- SQL: data extraction, validation, and pipeline development
- ML frameworks: scikit-learn, PyTorch, or equivalent
- MLOps fundamentals: model versioning, serving, monitoring, retraining
- MSc in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, or equivalent
Nice-To-Have
- Data pipeline tooling: Airflow, dbt, or equivalent
- Cloud data platforms: AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Experience with industrial, time-series, or back-office financial data
