Capital One Capital One · Banking · McLean, VA +1

Lead Machine Learning Engineer focused on productionizing ML applications and systems at scale within an enterprise environment. Responsibilities include designing, building, and delivering ML models, optimizing ML infrastructure, writing and testing application code, automating tests and deployment, and maintaining models in production using cloud-based architectures and CI/CD best practices.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design, build, and/or deliver ML models and components that solve real-world business problems, while working in collaboration with the Product and Data Science teams.
  2. Inform your ML infrastructure decisions using your understanding of ML modeling techniques and issues, including choice of model, data, and feature selection, model training, hyperparameter tuning, dimensionality, bias/variance, and validation).
  3. Solve complex problems by writing and testing application code, developing and validating ML models, and automating tests and deployment.
  4. Retrain, maintain, and monitor models in production.
  5. Leverage or build cloud-based architectures, technologies, and/or platforms to deliver optimized ML models at scale.
