Senior Full-Stack ML Engineer
Summary
Senior full-stack ML engineer in Helsinki who turns deep neural network compression research into production: building Python backend services, user-facing frontends, and owning deployment on Kubernetes with CI/CD, observability, and a security-first posture. Core stack: Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, Kubernetes, cloud platforms.
- Productize ML pipelines for deep neural network compression by making training, compression, and evaluation workflows reproducible, observable, and cost-efficient
- Design and implement small, well-bounded backend services to a high security standard, primarily using Python
- Build frontends exposing pipelines and services to users
- Own deployment and operations, including containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, and security posture
- Make architectural decisions with the team and document them clearly for colleagues and coding agents
- Take machine learning from research code to secure, running products
Requirements
- Minimum 7 years of experience building and running production software, with a track record of shipping systems you designed yourself
- Genuine breadth across backends, data or ML pipelines, and infrastructure
- Solid grasp of software architecture and cloud platforms, including system boundaries, failure modes, and trade-offs
- Demonstrated experience training, fine-tuning, and running inference with PyTorch or TensorFlow
- Clear grasp of modern ML tooling and pipeline architecture
- Proven ability to evaluate trade-offs between model size, latency, memory, and accuracy
- Comfort with AI-assisted development and coding agents
- Security-first mindset covering trust boundaries, secrets, dependencies, and software supply chain
- Fluent in English
- Proven ability to thrive in agile, dynamic teams with fluid, cross-functional responsibilities
- Solid experience in Frontend and UX experience is a plus
- Hands-on experience with model compression, including quantization, pruning, distillation, sparsity, or inference-runtime optimization is a plus
- Familiarity with quantum computing concepts or curiosity about them is a plus
- Experience meeting formal security or compliance requirements in a small company is a plus
- Experience with distributed training, GPU scheduling, or ML cost optimization is a plus
