Summary
The Wikimedia Foundation is looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join a small team spread across UTC -7 to UTC +3 and will report to the Director of Machine Learning, Chris Albon. As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will be responsible for planning, developing, training, documenting, deploying, and managing production machine learning models. In this role, you will work with product teams, SREs, researchers, and the volunteer community on machine learning models making Wikipedia and similar projects better. One day you might work on deploying a model predicting whether an edit is vandalism, the next day you might be helping volunteers contribute to our machine learning models.
You are responsible for:
- Working with internal customers (e.g. other teams inside the Wikimedia Foundation) and external customers (e.g. Wikipedia editors and other volunteers) to build, deploy, and manage productionized, scabled machine learning models.
- This includes communicating with the customers early to assess needs, working with them to scope out the appropriate tooling that might be needed, gathering the training data, training the model is a repeatable process, deploying the model on a deployment cluster, and monitoring that model over time.
- Helping other teams at the Foundation and the broader community understand the work conducted on the team.
Skills and Experience:
- 2+ years of experience in an MLE/MLOps role as part of a team deploying production models.
- Experience planning, developing, training, documenting, deploying, and managing production machine learning models
- Experience with popular Python ML libraries like Scikit-Learn, XGBoost, etc.
- Strong English language skills and ability to work independently, as an effective part of a globally distributed team
Qualities that are important to us:
- Professionalism
- Positivity and solution focused
- Independently motivated
Additionally, we’d love it if you have:
- Experience with Docker, Kubeflow, or other MLOps systems
- Experience with volunteer communities and open source software development
- Experience with global coworkers
- Experience with remote work and/or async work
