A machine learning engineer is a dedicated hire. We design the role with you, then introduce three finalists. The recruitment fee is USD 2,795, charged once.
A machine learning engineer prepares the data, runs the training and writes what the evaluation actually showed. A model does not go to production without your lead.
What a machine learning engineer usually takes on
Clean and document the training set
Run the training with the settings written down
Evaluate on data the model was not trained on
State the failure cases in the note
What we look for
Python and a model stack your team accepts
Data documentation
Evaluation, not only a demo
No production deploy without review
