- Data Engineer + AI / machine learning
- Onsite -Alpharetta GA / NJ
- Rate-65 /hr on c2c
- platform focused on building recommendation systems and advanced analytics using large-scale merchant datasets.
- The goal is not to hire traditional ETL-focused engineers or pure data scientists. Instead, we’re targeting hybrid Data Engineers who can:
- Build scalable data pipelines and data models
- Work hands-on with Python
- Develop or integrate machine learning models and inference workflows
- Contribute to MLOps pipelines (deployment, monitoring, lifecycle)
- Our environment is AWS-centric, and relevant experience is important, particularly:
- AWS (S3, Glue, SageMaker, ECS/Fargate)
- Working with data platforms like Snowflake
- Building data pipelines and ML workflows end-to-end
- The team will be working on use cases such as:
- Building merchant-level analytical datasets and feature pipelines
- Performing feature engineering and model-ready dataset creation
- Developing recommendation systems (e.g., nearest neighbor, ML-based models)
- Supporting model training, evaluation, and inference pipelines in AWS (SageMaker/ECS)
- At a high level:
- The Engineers will execute across data pipelines, feature engineering, and ML integration
- Within the pod, we expect a mix of strengths (some stronger in ML, others in core data engineering)
- We’ve also included Agentic/LLM-based experience as a “nice-to-have”, not a requirement—this helps future-proof the team without narrowing the candidate pool too much.
- Key profile we’re targeting: Data Engineers who can move beyond pipelines and help build systems that generate insights and drive recommendations from data
