Machine Learning Engineer

About the Role

We are a small, fast-moving AI-powered recruitment tech startup, and we are looking for a mid-level Machine Learning Engineer to help build and improve the core matching and recommendation systems that connect candidates with the right opportunities. This is a high-impact role at a company where your work will directly shape the product and the experience of thousands of job seekers and hiring teams.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and iterate on machine learning models that power candidate-to-role matching and personalization.
• Work closely with the founding team to translate product goals into scalable ML solutions.
• Develop and maintain data pipelines to support model training, evaluation, and deployment.
• Monitor model performance in production and drive continuous improvements.
• Contribute to research and experimentation on new AI techniques relevant to talent matching and natural language understanding.

What We're Looking For

• 3 to 7 years of hands-on experience in machine learning engineering or a closely related role.
• Strong fundamentals in computer science, statistics, or a related quantitative field.
• Proven experience building and deploying ML models in production environments.
• Proficiency with modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, and familiarity with NLP techniques.
• Comfort working across the full ML lifecycle, from data preparation through to model monitoring.
• Experience at a high-performing technology company or consulting environment is a plus.
• A bias toward action, strong ownership mentality, and comfort with ambiguity in a small team setting.
