Machine Learning Engineer

About project

Join our client’s innovative team, working at the forefront of agricultural technology. They are dedicated to developing cutting-edge solutions that combine IoT and AI to optimize processes in smart agriculture. The core objective of this project is to monitor and improve crucial natural processes, thereby enhancing efficiency and sustainability in the agricultural sector.Our client’s ML infrastructure processes data from IoT sensors placed in beehives to monitor temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors. This data is used to create predictive models focused on colony health, queen problems, and pollination efficiency. By leveraging real-time data and advanced technologies, the platform helps to drive better outcomes for food production and biodiversity, making a tangible impact on global food systems. The team is looking for someone who can help improve the underlying architecture of these systems while maintaining their functionality and accuracy.

Your area of responsibility

• Restructuring and optimizing existing Machine Learning code to enhance its readability, ease of maintenance, and performance, all while ensuring core functionality is preserved.
• Integrating ML models and their associated pipelines with recently developed infrastructure elements to guarantee smooth operation and compatibility.
• Designing and implementing reusable Machine Learning modules intended for common tasks such as preparing data, engineering features, and training or evaluating models.
• Developing and deploying both unit and integration tests to uphold code quality standards and confirm reliability.
• Identifying and putting into practice improvements aimed at boosting model performance, increasing efficiency, and supporting scalability.
• Collaborating effectively with colleagues who are not located in the same place, offering guidance and participating in code review processes to receive feedback.

Skills and requirements

• A minimum of 5 years’ professional experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on Machine Learning systems.
