Mayflower is a technology company that is revolutionizing the entertainment industry by introducing new levels of perception and engagement.
We are looking for a Machine Learning Lead (Engineering) focused on building and delivering production-grade ML-powered applications.
This role is not about research or experimentation. You will be responsible for turning ML models into reliable, scalable, user-facing services.
You will work at the intersection of machine learning and backend engineering, owning the full lifecycle of ML-powered features - from integration to deployment and operation in production.
Responsibilities
- Design and build production ML services (APIs, microservices, real-time systems)
- Integrate ML models into user-facing applications
- Ensure reliability, scalability, and performance of ML-powered systems
- Define and implement best practices for serving, versioning, and monitoring models in production
- Collaborate closely with:
- ML engineers / data scientists (who develop models)
- DevOps / MLOps team (who provide platform and infrastructure)
- Own the delivery pipeline of ML features into production
- Lead and mentor engineers working on ML-powered applications
- Drive architectural decisions around low-latency and high-load systems
- Identify bottlenecks between experimentation and production and eliminate them
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering / ML engineering
- Strong experience building production backend systems (Python preferred)
- Hands-on experience deploying and serving ML models in production
- Experience with API development (FastAPI, Flask, gRPC, etc.)
- Understanding of system design, scalability, and high-load environments
- Experience with ML pipelines and model lifecycle
- Ability to bridge the gap between ML and engineering teams
- Experience in a Lead or Senior role (mentoring, ownership, decision-making)
Nice to Have
- Experience with real-time ML systems (recommendations, ranking, personalization)
- Experience in video streaming or high-throughput platforms
- Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud/on-prem environments
- Experience with feature stores, model monitoring, A/B testing
- Experience working alongside MLOps platforms (MLflow, Airflow, etc.)
