As an MLE, you collaborate with other platform and infra teams, build systems and tools to support Brex-wide ML efforts and initiatives. These tools enable data scientists to improve the core data quality at Brex, to iterate faster in the model development cycle including model training, online productionization and performance monitoring, essentially to achieve their optimal performance. 

Responsibilities

  • Design and build user-friendly and ML guided tools upon which data scientists can easily test and deploy models to production.
  • Apply your expertise in quantitative analysis and software engineering to build scalable and robust real-time ML models. 
  • Work closely with data scientists to adopt the most recent ML technologies and ensure the highest engineering quality. 
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to unravel complex problems by clearly formulating the problem statement, understanding technical requirements, and presenting findings at all levels. 
  • Maintain a strong data driven culture within the company by interacting with diverse internal functions.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in a Data Science / ML Engineering/ Software Engineering role
  • Experience in software abstraction, scalable data application architecture for improving Data Scientist’s efficiency.
