Machine Learning Engineer

Job Overview:

At Coursera, our Machine Learning team plays a crucial role in shaping the future of education through cutting-edge AI technologies such as natural language processing, computer vision, and generative models. We are dedicated to defining, developing, and launching models that drive content discovery, personalized learning, machine translation, skill tagging, and machine-assisted teaching and grading. Our vision is centered on creating a next-generation education experience that is personalized, accessible, and efficient. Leveraging our scale, extensive data, advanced technology, and talented team, Coursera is poised to transform this vision into reality.

Responsibilities:

• Work very closely with ML scientists and help them with model deployment in the production systems

• Work very closely with ML scientists to find and solve engineering pain-points by building scalable, general-use platforms

• Build scalable and reliable infrastructure and pipelines for data/feature processing and storage and also scalable training and evaluation infrastructure and pipelines to accelerate model development

• Automate ML workflows to enhance productivity across training, evaluation, testing, and results generation

• Partner with cross functional stakeholders to define a long-term vision for scaling ML/AI applications in production and help teams with their roadmap plannings

• Provide technical mentorship to junior other Engineers and act as a technical leader for the ML engineering domain

Basic Qualifications:

• BS in Computer Science, or related area with 3 Years minimum Machine Learning Scientist or Engineer industry experience

• Highly skilled with Java development, Python and SQL/MySQL.

• Highly skilled with strong proficiency in ML ops with experience in building large-scale ML applications, services, pipelines and architecture

• Solid understanding and experience in system design of ML systems (design pattern,  OOD, architecture, modules, interfaces, etc)

• Highly skilled with distributed processing architecture and ML/data workflow management platform (Spark, Databricks, Airflow, Kubeflow, MLflow etc)

• Experience with containerization such as Docker and Kubernates

Preferred Qualifications:
