We are a dynamic family with young and energetic members seeking motivated talents to join our fast-moving and fun-loving crew..\nFor more information please visit https://careers.chotot.com/about-us/\nTranslate ambiguous business problems into well-defined ML/DS problems. Investigate the real issue before proposing a solution, scope the right approach, and know when ML is the wrong answer.\nSet technical direction for ML initiatives in your problem area. Make build-vs-buy, ML-vs-heuristic, and model-architecture decisions based on cost, latency, complexity, and business impact - not novelty.\nOwn ML systems end-to-end in production: data ingestion, training, serving, monitoring, retraining, and rollback. Anticipate and design around failure modes - data drift, train/serve skew, feedback loops, cold start, and label leakage - before they hit users.\nBuild and ship the services, APIs, and integrations around your models, working across the stack to deliver ML-powered features users actually touch.\nDefine the metrics that matter - offline evaluation, online A/B tests, and long-term business KPIs - and defend them. Question metrics you're handed when they don't reflect real user or business value.\nPartner with product, design, and business stakeholders to shape the roadmap, not just execute it. Translate model behavior and data insights into narratives that drive decisions at both tactical and executive levels.\nRaise the technical bar of the team through design reviews, code reviews, and mentorship. Your output is measured by what you ship and by what you unblock and elevate in others.\n At least 5+ YOE working as ML/AI engineer role\nFluent use of AI coding assistants and LLM-based tools in your daily workflow (Claude Code, Copilot, or equivalent). At Chotot, AI is a compulsory tool in product development.\nHands-on experience owning ML systems end-to-end in production environments\nExcellent English communication - you will work directly with cross-country teams\n Experience building and scaling ML-powered products from early-stage development to large-scale production usage, with strong ownership across product iteration, system reliability, and business impact.\nTrack record of ML systems you personally took from problem framing to production and measurable business impact - not just trained models, but shipped features users interacted with.\nExperience Python and SQL, with hands-on experience in a cloud data warehouse (BigQuery preferred) and a public cloud (GCP preferred).\nSolid grasp of both classical ML and deep learning. You pick the right tool for the constraint rather than defaulting to the latest paper.\nNice-to-have\nExperience with vector databases and embedding-based retrieval.\nFamiliarity with event-driven and streaming data pipelines.\nPrior experience mentoring or setting technical direction.\n Thank you for taking your time to read our job description and thank you in advance if you decide to apply for this position. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted within 2 weeks since application, otherwise we might meet when another chance arises.\nBy proceeding with your application, you are adhering to our PDPA policies.
