Senior Software Engineer, Machine Learning
About the role
Senior Data/ML software role at Hive (remote in CA) focusing on building and owning the data and ML platforms that power marketing automation for events.
Responsibilities
- Build our Data Platform: Design and own a cloud-native big data platform handling audience data for millions of attendees and billions of interactions a year.
- Build our ML Platform: Design and own the infrastructure that takes models from experiment to production — feature stores, training pipelines, model serving, and monitoring.
- Own the Full Pipeline — and Its Business Impact: From Change Data Capture through validation, transformation, and denormalization — drive the stack end to end and connect technical decisions to business outcomes.
- Treat Data as a Product: Ship data products with SLAs, data health, discoverability.
- Build and Leverage Agentic Systems: Use AI coding agents as a force multiplier and build LLM-powered pipelines and autonomous agents for data at scale.
Qualifications
- 8+ years of hands-on data engineering experience, with a proven track record of designing, building, and operating large-scale distributed data and ML systems in production — high-throughput event streams, real SLAs, and real consequences when things fail.
- Core ML foundations (supervised/unsupervised, cross-validation, bias–variance, regularization, eval metrics) and common algorithms (regression, tree ensembles, clustering).
- Feature engineering with Python ML tooling (pandas, scikit-learn; familiarity with PyTorch or TensorFlow).
- Production ML pipelines and feature datasets feeding model training and inference.
- MLOps practices: experiment tracking, model versioning/registry, deployment, and monitoring for drift/data quality.
- Strong foundations in distributed systems principles — partitioning strategies, consistency models, backpressure handling, fault tolerance, and capacity planning at 10x the volume you designed for.
- Experience applying LLMs and agentic systems in production data or ML contexts
- A product and commercial orientation — you consistently frame technical decisions in terms of customer impact and business outcomes, and you have the stakeholder communication skills to make that case to non-technical audiences.
