We’re looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to help ShopMy build and scale production-grade ML systems across personalization, search, and recommendations.
You’ll work closely with the co-founders and a small, high-impact team to design, build, and ship end-to-end machine learning systems; from data ingestion and modeling to deployment, monitoring, and iteration. This is a hands-on role for engineers who enjoy owning the full ML lifecycle and delivering real product impact. You’ll play a key role in defining and building ShopMy’s foundational ML infrastructure.

- Build and deploy ML-powered APIs and services that support real user-facing features
- Own the full lifecycle of ML systems: experimentation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration
- Develop ML systems for personalization, search, and recommendations
- Work with embedding-based systems and vector representations (text, images, or multimodal data)
- Measure results rigorously and iterate based on real-world performance
- Create and maintain data pipelines and internal tooling
- Deploy and operate ML systems in production (AWS, containerization, EC2, service orchestration)
- Ensure systems are scalable, reliable, and observable
- Monitor model and system performance and improve robustness over time
- Maintain a high standard for code quality, testing, and system design
- Collaborate closely with leadership and peers to shape technical direction
- Move quickly while balancing correctness, reliability, and long-term maintainability
What You Bring
- Bachelor or PhD in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science or Machine Learning
- 4+ years experience building or contributing to ML systems used in production
- Experience with embeddings, retrieval, ranking, or recommendation systems
- Ability to ship end-to-end solutions, not just models or analyses
- Strong programming skills (Python required)
- String data querying and manipulation skills (Pandas, SQL)
- Comfort working across data, modeling, APIs, and infrastructure
- Experience operating ML systems at meaningful scale (startup or large company)
