- Translate business requirements for ML-powered features into technical specifications and design documents.
- Collaborate with data scientists to ensure new ML features' technical feasibility and scalability.
- Define and develop back-office API endpoints (to configure the features) as well as the high-performance serving endpoints.
- Develop and implement ML models, algorithms, and data pipelines to support new features.
- Deploy and monitor new features in production, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems.
b. Ensure quality and performance of developed solution
- Perform rigorous testing and quality assurance of ML models and code, including unit tests, integration tests, and A/B testing.
- Implement monitoring systems and dashboards to track the performance of ML models in production, identify potential issues, and optimize for accuracy and efficiency.
- Contribute to developing and implementing DevOps and MLOps best practices within the team.
c. Support and Maintain owned components
- Maintain end-to-end features, encompassing back-office APIs, models, definitions, and high-performance serving APIs.
