Job Summary

We are building a best-in-class AI team focused on delivering advanced capabilities that empower our data organization. This is not a role for theoretical research; it is for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with a strong Software Engineering backbone.

You will be expected to be highly independent, taking ownership of problems from end-to-end. We value "Modern Productivity"—you should leverage LLMs and AI coding assistants to bypass boilerplate and ship code faster. In our view, manual line-by-line coding is outdated; we want engineers who use every tool at their disposal to increase output without sacrificing reasoning or quality.

Stack Highlights:

Core:

Expert Python (Non-negotiable), PostgreSQL + pgvector, SQLAlchemy.

AI/

LLM:

Azure OpenAI, LangChain, Langfuse, Multi-agent orchestration.

Productivity:

ChatGPT/Copilot for development, Docker, async I/O.

Key Responsibilities

Independent System Building:

Own the design and implementation of scalable ML solutions, moving rapidly from problem statement to working code

Classification & Attribution:

Build and fine-tune systems for complex data, such as identifying ad creatives or global brand deduplication by cross-referencing government registries

Advanced Reasoning:

Implement "Chain of Thought" prompting and multi-agent workflows (e.g., classification agents vs. reasoning agents) to solve complex attribution tasks

Data Engineering Rigor:

Optimize vectorization, manage migrations via Alembic, and ensure high-throughput ingestion with minimal supervision

Operational Excellence:

Implement guardrails and observability (Langfuse) to ensure that high-velocity output remains explainable and robust

Requirements

Key Qualifications

Academic Foundation:

Strong degree in Computer Science or Telecommunications (Teleco)

Software Rigor:

You think like a developer. Clean code, architecture, and scalability are your default settings The "Hacker" Spirit:

Active participation in Hackathons or a portfolio of ambitious side projects. We want to see that you build things because you love solving problems

Extreme Independence:

Proven ability to thrive in international roles without constant lead structure or heavy supervision

Technical Mastery:

• Expert Python (typing, async, performance)

Deep SQL & Vector DB knowledge (pg_trgm, HNSW)

Experience building and deploying RAG pipelines and LLM agents

Skill Focus for 2026

Vision-based ML: Using reasoning to correctly attribute visual ad creatives

Context Optimization:

Utilizing window context detection to improve system reasoning

Multi-Agent Scaling:

Chaining specialized models to automate complex data workflows

Career Path

At MediaRadar, a Senior Machine Learning Engineer role is more than a technical position — it's a foundation for growing into leadership and specialized roles within our expanding AI and Data Innovation organization.

Engineers who perform successfully will have the opportunity to grow into roles such as:

Staff Machine Learning Engineer:

Drive the architecture and scalability of our ML pipelines, retrieval systems, and LLM-powered solutions across multiple data domains

MLOps Architect:

Design and operationalize the infrastructure that supports continuous model training, evaluation, deployment, and observability at scale

Applied Scientist:

Research and implement advanced AI techniques, such as fine-tuned LLMs, embeddings, and multimodal retrieval models, to create new capabilities for our data and customers

AI Product Engineer:

Partner with product and data teams to transform machine learning models into production-grade, customer-facing features that power innovation and insight

Engineering Manager, AI/ML:

Lead teams of engineers and data scientists, setting strategy and driving excellence in delivery, quality, and collaboration across the AI and Data organization

With exposure to real-world data challenges, mentorship from senior leaders, and opportunities to contribute to high-impact AI initiatives, Machine Learning Engineers can expect to expand their expertise and progress into roles aligned with their technical strengths and career aspirations.
