Tiger Analytics is looking for a skilled and innovative Machine Learning Engineer with hands‑on experience in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Vertex AI to design, build, and deploy scalable ML solutions. You will play a key role in operationalizing machine learning models and driving the end‑to‑end ML lifecycle, from data ingestion to model serving and monitoring. Key Responsibilities Develop, train, and optimize ML models using Vertex AI, including Vertex Pipelines, AutoML, and custom model training. Design and build scalable ML pipelines for feature engineering, training, evaluation, and deployment. Deploy models to production using Vertex AI endpoints and integrate with downstream applications or APIs. Collaborate with data scientists, data engineers, and MLOps teams to enable reproducible and reliable ML workflows. Monitor model performance and set up alerting, retraining triggers, and drift detection mechanisms. Utilize GCP services such as BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, and GCS in ML workflows. Apply CI/CD principles to ML models using Vertex AI Pipelines, Cloud Build, and GitOps practices. Implement model governance, versioning, explainability, and security best practices within Vertex AI. Document architecture decisions, workflows, and model lifecycle clearly for internal stakeholders. Additional Expertise Required Advanced Generative AI, including Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) with graph‑based hybrid retrieval, multimodal agents, and familiarity with ADK, Langchain Agentic Frameworks. Deep knowledge of fine‑tuning and distillation techniques. Technical Skills Expertise in Python, with solid OOP and functional programming skills. Proficiency with ML/DL libraries such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit‑learn, pandas, NumPy, and PySpark. Experience with production‑grade code, testing, and performance optimization. GCP Cloud Architecture & Services Proficiency in services like Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Dataproc, Dataflow. Understanding of IAM, VPC configurations. API Development & Integration Design and build RESTful APIs using FastAPI or Flask. Integrate ML models into APIs for real‑time inference with authentication, logging, and performance tuning. System Design & Scalability Design scalable, fault‑tolerant AI systems, with experience in distributed systems, microservices, and asynchronous processing. This position offers an excellent opportunity for significant career development in a rapid‑growing and challenging entrepreneurial environment with a high degree of individual responsibility. #J-18808-Ljbffr Apply on Kit Job: kitjob.ca/job/2pxh4l
