Position: Machine Learning Engineer
Type: Contract Compensation: $14/hour Location: Remote Role Responsibilities
- Design and implement scalable ML pipelines for model training, evaluation, and continuous improvement.
- Build and fine-tune deep learning models for reasoning, code generation, and real-world decision-making.
- Collaborate with data scientists to collect and preprocess training data, ensuring quality and representativeness.
- Develop benchmarking tools that test models across reasoning, accuracy, and speed dimensions.
- Implement reinforcement learning loops and self-improvement mechanisms for agent training.
- Work with systems engineers to optimize inference speed, memory efficiency, and hardware utilization.
Qualifications Must-Have
- Strong background in machine learning, deep learning, or reinforcement learning.
- Proficiency in Python and familiarity with frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
- Understanding of training infrastructure, including distributed training, GPUs/TPUs, and data pipeline optimization.
- Experience with end-to-end ML systems, from preprocessing and feature extraction to training, evaluation, and deployment.
- Comfort with MLOps tools (e.g., Weights & Biases, MLflow, Docker, Kubernetes, or Airflow).
Preferred
- Experience designing custom architectures or adapting LLMs, diffusion models, or transformer-based systems.
- Critical thinking about model performance, generalization, and bias, and ability to measure results through data-driven experimentation.
- Curiosity about AI agents and how models can simulate human-like reasoning, problem-solving, and collaboration.
