[Hiring] Senior Machine Learning Engineer @Wiser Solutions

Role Description

Wiser Solutions is hiring a Senior ML Engineer to help build our customer-facing AI platform and get the first features into customers' hands.

Our data runs at real scale: well over 100 million product and pricing records a day from retailers and marketplaces worldwide. The problems are concrete ones like product matching, classification, and attribute extraction. The right answer is often a mix of trained models, embeddings, retrieval, and LLMs, and cost per record matters as much as accuracy.

We want someone who uses AI first, moves fast, and would rather show a working prototype than a slide deck. You'll own ML systems end to end, from idea to experiment to production, and keep improving them once they're live. You don't need to be a data engineer. You need to be the person who turns a customer problem into a model that works.

What You Will Do

• Take customer problems from idea to working prototype quickly, prove or kill an approach with data, and move what works into production.
• Train, fine-tune, and evaluate models for matching, classification, and extraction problems.
• Design and ship RAG systems, embedding-based retrieval, and LLM-powered features on AWS.
• Own the full ML lifecycle: experiment tracking, model versioning, deployment, monitoring, and retraining.
• Build evaluation that tells us whether something works: labeled golden sets, offline metrics (precision, recall), LLM-as-judge where it fits, and shadow or A/B testing before rollout.
• Monitor models in production for drift, output quality, latency, and cost per prediction, and fix what you find.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in ML engineering, applied data science, or AI engineering.
• A track record of shipping ML or AI systems to production and owning them after launch.
• Hands-on experience training and evaluating models: feature engineering, experiment design, choosing metrics, handling class imbalance and noisy labels.
• Hands-on experience building production applications with LLMs, including RAG, embeddings, and vector databases.
• Working knowledge of MLOps practices and tooling, such as MLflow, SageMaker Pipelines, Weights & Biases, or similar.
• Experience with AWS for ML workloads (SageMaker, Bedrock, Lambda, ECS/EKS, S3).
• Strong Python and solid engineering habits: version control, testing, CI/CD, and code review.
• A habit of building quickly to learn: you'd rather test an idea in two days than debate it for two weeks.
• Daily use of AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) and curiosity about new AI tools as they come out.

Preferred

• Experience with LLM fine-tuning, and a clear sense of when to fine-tune versus prompt engineer versus train a smaller task-specific model.
• Experience keeping inference cost down at high volume through distillation, quantization, caching, or tiered model routing.
• Background in retail, e-commerce, or product data (catalog matching, taxonomy mapping, attribute extraction).
• Experience with entity resolution or similarity search at scale.
• Comfort working with data pipelines and orchestration tools like Airflow (helpful, not required).
