Senior AI/ML Engineer

Remote - LATAM

Contract

Our client, an international technology consultancy, is looking for a Senior AI/ML Engineer to join its international AI/ML team. The company builds custom software from scratch for clients worldwide, alongside specialist technical consultancy and training, and its work spans artificial intelligence through to blockchain.

This is a hands-on senior engineering role that lets you own AI work end-to-end: training models, deploying them, and putting them into production. You’ll tackle the particular challenges of AI-powered software alongside a team of strong engineers, on projects that use current tooling and push boundaries. This is an individual contributor position with no direct reports.

It’s a six-month contract with potential for renewal. The engagement is fully remote, and the successful candidate can be located anywhere in Latin America. You’ll need strong English communication skills (B2+ or higher) for this role.

Responsibilities:

• Participate in designing and developing AI solutions for challenging projects.
• Build production-level ML/AI solutions grounded in solid software engineering and ML/AI principles.
• Handle MLOps: automated deployment and monitoring of both models and infrastructure.
• Carry out data analysis, including data cleaning and variable transformation.
• Develop and train ML/AI models.
• Put AI models into production: parallelize, optimize, tune, and test them for deployment in a production environment.

Mandatory Requirements

• 8+ years of software development experience, including 5+ years in an AI, Machine Learning, or Data Science role.
• Cloud platform experience: Azure or another cloud-based solution.
• Strong Python skills.
• A working understanding of SQL.
• Hands-on experience across the end-to-end ML lifecycle, from development to production deployment, including designing and building scalable ML pipelines.
• Experience with ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch).
• Experience with MLOps tooling.
• Experience using AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot or comparable) in real development workflows.

Nice-to-Have

• Some background in NLP.
• Some background in Computer Vision.
• Big Data tools and cloud platforms, especially Azure.
• RESTful API development and DevOps practices (Docker, CI/CD).
• Recommendation systems, unsupervised learning, and ranking models.
• TensorFlow Lite, TensorFlow Serving, gRPC, and unit testing.
• Strong object-oriented programming skills.

Of Note

• Completed background checks will be required before the start date if you are selected as a winning candidate.
• As a winning candidate, you will be required to disclose your engagement with DevEngine as a primary client on your professional LinkedIn profile.
