Machine Learning Engineer

About the Role

This Machine Learning Engineer role uniquely requires the intersection of time-series forecasting expertise and modern LLM capabilities, specifically applied to workforce management challenges.

Join our Workforce Engagement Management (WEM) team to solve real-world challenges at scale using cutting-edge ML techniques. We're looking for a passionate and experienced ML engineer. You will play a key role in building GenAI-powered forecasting, scheduling, and adherence solutions. Drive the development of intelligent WEM systems by integrating LLMs, time-series models, and optimization engines to revolutionize how workforce operations are managed. Join a dynamic team dedicated to achieving groundbreaking results.

About The Team

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, ops, and engineering) to deliver seamless AI integrations.

• Fine-tune, prompt-engineer, and orchestrate LLM pipelines to solve real-world forecasting and adherence challenges.
• Develop smart forecasting and scheduling engines that can adapt and learn from operational data.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s/Master’s/PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a related field.
• 4–6 years of hands-on experience in AI/ML engineering roles.
• Strong programming skills in Python, with knowledge of software engineering best practices including data manipulation libraries like Pandas and NumPy for preprocessing and feature engineering.
• Experience with ML frameworks - MXNet (but strongly recommend TensorFlow or PyTorch).
• Solid understanding of time-series preprocessing, feature engineering, and forecasting algorithms (e.g., Neural Forecast, N-BEATS, N-HiTS, Temporal Fusion Transformer, Darts).
• Experience with Production optimization tools like CP-SAT or Google OR-Tools.
• Background in NLP and transformer-based models.
• Experience with LLMs, fine-tuning, Prompt engineering, Context engineering, MCP and Agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, PydanticAI, DSPy, AutoGen, Swarm, OpenAI Agents SDK).
• Experience with Git, CI/CD, and scalable deployment practices.

Responsibilities

• Design and optimize AI/ML algorithms for WEM use cases.
• Leverage time-series analysis and optimization frameworks (e.g., CP-SAT) for forecasting and scheduling.
• Engineer and tune LLM prompts and workflows to enhance scheduling and forecasting insights.
• Develop evaluation frameworks and feedback loops to optimize ML model and agent performance.
• Build and optimize infrastructure for distributed model training across multi-node, multi-GPU clusters.
• Collaborate with teams for seamless integration of AI/ML features into production systems.
• Contribute to design reviews, technical discussions, and code quality standards.
