What they are hired to build

The work, before the CV.

A role written against the work gets a better shortlist than a role written against a stack. These are what Machine learning engineer engineers are usually brought in to do.

Roles we recruit: Machine learning engineer · Senior machine learning engineer · Applied scientist · Data scientist (engineering-leaning).

  • Prediction and scoring models with a real business metric attached
  • Recommendation, ranking and forecasting features
  • Evaluation harnesses and offline-to-online metric alignment
  • Taking a notebook prototype to something that serves traffic

The technical screen

What the conversation actually covers.

Every candidate has a real technical conversation with an engineer who has done the job, and you get written evidence per competency. In Machine learning engineer, that conversation covers the following.

Usually assessed alongside: Python, PyTorch, scikit-learn, SQL, Pandas.

  • Framing: what the label is, and why that is the right target
  • Leakage — where it comes from, and how they caught it last time
  • Evaluation beyond accuracy: base rates, class imbalance, cost of error
  • What they would ship, and what they would refuse to ship
