Title:  Machine Learning Engineer / AI Engineer
Job Type:  Contract
Contract Length:  12 Months
Pay Range:  $50/hr – $175/hr
Start Date:  ASAP
Location:  Remote

About the Opportunity:

Our client, a leader in the AI Testing Industry, is looking for a skilled Machine Learning Engineer / AI Engineer  to join their team for a 12-month engagement. This project involves developing, deploying, and optimizing machine learning models to improve performance on domain-specific datasets and integrating them into production applications. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Developing and fine-tuning machine learning models to improve performance on domain-specific datasets.
  • Integrating AI models into production applications via scalable REST or gRPC APIs.
  • Implementing data preprocessing and feature engineering pipelines to ensure high-quality model inputs.
  • Monitoring model performance in production and executing retraining loops to combat model drift.
  • Troubleshooting performance bottlenecks in the model inference path to minimize latency for end-users.
Required Skills & Experience:

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
  • 4+ years of experience in Machine Learning or Software Engineering.
  • Deep expertise in Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and scikit-learn. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
  • Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-based ML platforms (SageMaker, Vertex AI).
  • Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
