SENIOR MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER (SMLE) - Sweden
As a member of Modulai you will be working with a broad range of problems with one common denominator - ML will be the key ingredient. As a SMLE you will be responsible for team success and advisory to both teams and clients.
In this role, you will be responsible for engaging clients and teams from the initial idea phase through to execution. We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successfully developing end-to-end ML products and leading teams in both commercial and delivery settings. It's important that you have a passion for ML and strong opinions on how to succeed in applied ML. At our company, being a lead is not just a formal title; it's a responsibility to help others achieve even greater success.
You will have to analyze the problem at hand, devise a solution strategy, and execute it. This typically entails gaining an in-depth understanding of the challenge, understanding the available data, and then re-formulating it as an ML problem. It requires openness, creativity, and an eagerness to learn new methodologies and explore new terrains.
We approach these problems as a team where great leaders are essential, meaning that you will have to be able to clearly explain your reasoning and code to engage the team as well as clients, investors, and others.

About Team Modulai
At Modulai, we focus 100% on solving problems with machine learning (ML). We work in teams on a project basis, for clients, as part of the core team in startups where we have long-term engagements, and we also build our own ML products.
Learning and teamwork are central to how we work. Everyone in the team is or will soon be a full-stack ML engineer capable of scoping and developing end-to-end ML solutions. You should be able to do end-to-end machine learning products by yourself but never do it because we always work in teams. If there is data, we will do ML on it!
