 About the role  

 Our teams build products and solutions for internal and external customers across SEEK Pass and the wider SEEK Group. As an ML Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in designing, developing, and deploying cutting-edge machine learning models (OCR, IQA, Document Classification, Fraud Detection, Face Recognition, etc.), leveraging data to drive impactful solutions. You'll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, applying your expertise to design, optimize, and deploy scalable algorithms, enhancing our products and services through the power of artificial intelligence. 

Some of the technology we're using includes Python, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, along with a strong focus on machine learning and AI, leveraging AWS SageMaker AWS Lambda, and many other AWS services, LoRA, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Transformers, and scikit-learn. We work extensively with LLMs for multi-modal tasks, including computer vision and document understanding.

For this role, we have a very open mind in terms of specific work experience. If you have the right mindset and capabilities, then we strongly encourage you to apply. Here are some things we would regard highly:  

• Proven experience in developing and deploying machine learning models, with a solid understanding of algorithms, statistical modeling, and optimization techniques. 
• Mastery in Python for data manipulation, scripting, and model implementation. 
• Proficiency in utilizing frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Keras to build and deploy neural networks and deep learning models. 
• Strong skills in data preprocessing, feature engineering, and exploratory data analysis (EDA) using tools like Pandas, NumPy, or similar libraries. 
• Ability to evaluate model performance, optimize algorithms, and fine-tune parameters to achieve desired outcomes. 
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (such as AWS, GCP, or Azure) and experience deploying ML models in production environments would be a significant advantage. 
• A passion for continuous learning, adaptability to evolving technologies, and a drive to explore new methodologies and tools in the ML landscape. 

As a team member we value the following traits:  

• Passion and happiness in learning new things (if you don't know something - you find out. If you can't do something - you learn)  
• A keen curiosity about the overall business context and building phenomenal user experiences  

Nice to have (but not essential):  

• Experience in a start-up / scale-up environment  
• Experience with identity or document verification and compliance
