Founded in 2013, Fusemachines is a global provider of enterprise AI products and services, on a mission to democratize AI. Leveraging proprietary AI Studio and AI Engines, the company helps drive the clients’ AI Enterprise Transformation, regardless of where they are in their Digital AI journeys. With offices in North America, Asia, and Latin America, Fusemachines provides a suite of enterprise AI offerings and specialty services that allow organizations of any size to implement and scale AI. Fusemachines serves companies in industries such as retail, manufacturing, and government.\nFusemachines continues to actively pursue the mission of democratizing AI for the masses by providing high-quality AI education in underserved communities and helping organizations achieve their full potential with AI.\nType: Remote, Full-time\nRole Overview\nWe’re hiring a Senior Machine Learning Engineerto architect, build, and deploy high-performance machine learning systems that power technology stack. You will work across the entire ML lifecycle-from processing massive volumes of data to developing and deploying low-latency models.\nYou must possess a strong hybrid skill set: deep expertise in applied machine learning combined with production-grade software engineering skills. You will not just build models in notebooks; you will write scalable, production-ready code, design real-time inference APIs, and ensure your systems meet strict latency and high-throughput requirements.\nKey Responsibilities\nScale Data Engineering & Feature Pipelines\nProcess and extract features from massive, highly sparse datasets (terabytes/petabytes of bidstream and user event data) using SQL, Python, and distributed computing frameworks (e.g., Spark, Ray).\nArchitect offline and online feature pipelines. Manage real-time feature computation and low-latency feature stores ensuring zero online/offline skew.\nPerform rigorous missingness analysis, leakage checks, and handle high-cardinality categorical variables safely.\nCore ML & Deep Learning Development\nTrain, tune, and scale supervised learning models, utilizing advanced gradient boosting (XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost) and Factorization Machines.\nDesign and implement Deep Learning architectures for structured/recommendation data using PyTorch or TensorFlow.\nApply rigorous tabular modeling practices: meticulous leakage prevention, class imbalance strategies, and robust cross-validation on time-split data.\nProductionization, MLOps, & System Engineering\nWrite clean, object-oriented, and modular production code. Transition models from Python research environments to high-performance serving environments (packaging with ONNX, TensorRT, etc).\nDesign and maintain robust MLOps pipelines: automated model retraining, versioning, shadow deployments, and CI/CD for machine learning.\nMonitor production models for data drift, concept drift, and performance degradation in real-time, implementing automated alerting and fallback mechanisms.\nEvaluation & Experimentation\nDesign rigorous A/B and multivariate tests to measure the true business incrementality of ML models.\nChoose appropriate offline metrics (PR-AUC, normalized Entropy/LogLoss, Calibration, Lift) and bridge them to online business KPIs.\nSuccess in This Role Looks Like\nYou deliver models that perform well and move business metrics (revenue lift, cost reduction, risk reduction, improved forecast accuracy, operational efficiency).\nYour work is reproducible and production-aware: clear data lineage, robust evaluation, and a credible path to deployment/monitoring.\nStakeholders trust your judgment in selecting methods and communicating uncertainty honestly.\nRequired Qualifications\n5-8+ yearsof experience as a Machine Learning Engineer or Software Engineer focusing on ML systems, ideally within Ad Tech, MarTech, or high-scale recommendation systems.\nProduction Engineering Skills:Strong software engineering fundamentals (OOP, data structures, algorithm design). Expert-level Python and strong proficiency in a compiled or high-performance language (e.g., C++, Java, Scala, Go, or Rust).\nML Systems & Serving:Deep experience deploying machine learning models into highly concurrent, low-latency production environments (APIs, microservices, Triton Inference Server, custom containers).\nDistributed Computing:Hands-on experience with big data processing (Apache Spark, Kafka, Flink) and complex SQL queries.\nCore ML & Deep Learning:Proven track record of shipping both tree-based models and neural networks (PyTorch/TensorFlow) to production.\nStatistics & Experimentation:Solid grasp of statistics, hypothesis testing, and rigorous A/B experiment design.\nNice-to-Have\nAgentic / GenAI Development:Experience designing agentic workflows or utilizing LLMs to automate ad creative generation, campaign copilot tools, or internal ML development workflows (AI-assisted IDEs, code agents).\nFusemachines is an Equal Opportunities Employer, committed to diversity and inclusion. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5681,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Corporate Training","Recruiting & Staffing","AI Consulting & Integration"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-24T07:15:06Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":72500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":46,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.84,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":20,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/fusemachines-senior-machine-learning-engineer-fusemachines","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/fusemachines-senior-machine-learning-engineer-fusemachines.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T07:12:47Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10918,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":62550},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=62550"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffusemachines-senior-machine-learning-engineer-fusemachines"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffusemachines-senior-machine-learning-engineer-fusemachines"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffusemachines-senior-machine-learning-engineer-fusemachines"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/fusemachines-senior-machine-learning-engineer-fusemachines\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffusemachines-senior-machine-learning-engineer-fusemachines"}]}
