Job Description
We're looking for a product-minded Machine Learning Engineer to pioneer the engineering of intelligent resilience systems at Fusion. This role will focus on designing building deploying and operating production-grade machine learning systems-including reinforcement learning and optimization-driven intelligence-to power the next generation of resilience capabilities.
You will architect and deliver scalable ML systems that unify resilience data from some of the world's largest and most systemically important organizations. This includes building robust model pipelines integrating simulation and optimization engines into production services and establishing strong ML Ops and AI Ops practices to ensure reliability performance and governance at scale.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of software engineering and machine learning-someone who wants to build durable AI/ML infrastructure ship intelligent product features and solve complex real-world operational resilience challenges.
Key Responsibilities
- Design build deploy and maintain production machine learning systems including reinforcement learning components and intelligent optimization-driven features.
- Architect scalable ML pipelines for training validation deployment monitoring and automated retraining.
- Maintain and expand operations for simulation (Monte Carlo Bayesian Networks) and optimization engines (linear constraint CP-SAT) for continued reliable service.
- Own ML Ops and AI Ops practices including CI/CD for models automated testing model validation performance monitoring drift detection observability and governance frameworks.
- Refactor and harden existing AI systems to improve scalability latency cost efficiency and fault tolerance.
- Build and maintain data pipelines and feature engineering workflows that support reliable and reproducible model training.
- Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to translate resilience use cases into scalable maintainable ML-powered product capabilities.
- Contribute to the design of Fusion's ML architecture infrastructure standards and long-term intelligent systems roadmap.
Knowledge Skills and Abilities
- Strong software engineering foundation with hands-on experience building and deploying machine learning systems in production environments.
- Experience designing ML architectures APIs and services that integrate with enterprise SaaS platforms.
- Deep understanding of model lifecycle management: experimentation validation deployment monitoring retraining and versioning.
- Experience with reinforcement learning decision systems simulation modeling or optimization techniques.
- Strong experience building scalable data and feature pipelines using cloud-native tools (e.g. Azure Snowflake dbt Salesforce integrations or similar platforms).
- Proficiency in writing clean maintainable well-tested code with version control CI/CD and observability best practices.
- Familiarity with containerization and distributed systems (Docker Kubernetes serverless architectures or similar).
- Ability to design modular extensible ML systems that evolve alongside product requirements.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain system behavior tradeoffs and architectural decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Qualifications (Education and Experience)
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science Machine Learning Artificial Intelligence Engineering or a related field.
3+ years of experience building deploying and operating machine learning systems in production environments.
Experience with reinforcement learning decision intelligence systems or control systems (strongly preferred).
Experience with simulation optimization constraint programming or operations research techniques (preferred).
Experience building ML pipelines in cloud environments (Azure preferred).
Experience implementing ML Ops tooling for testing validation monitoring retraining and governance (preferred).
Experience deploying AI-powered systems within enterprise SaaS environments (nice to have).
Milestones for the First Six Months
In One Month You Will:
- Complete onboarding and gain familiarity with Fusion's resilience domain existing product line simulation and optimization engines.
- Contribute code to existing ML systems and participate in production improvements.
- Review and assess current ML pipeline and deployment practices.
In Three Months You Will:
- Design and deploy at least one production-ready ML component or reinforcement learning module.
- Improve reliability performance or scalability of existing intelligent systems.
- Implement monitoring validation and automated testing for one production AI/ML system.
In Six Months You Will:
- Own and deliver a production-grade intelligent capability (e.g. adaptive optimization engine reinforcement-driven decision module or production-trained GPT workflow).
- Establish baseline ML Ops standards for model deployment monitoring retraining and governance.
- Lead architectural improvements to Fusion's ML infrastructure.
- Propose and prototype new ML-driven product capabilities that extend Fusion's resilience intelligence platform.
Compensation & Benefits
The annual base salary range for this position is $135000-$155000 depending on experience qualifications and relevant skill set. The position is also eligible for an annual bonus. Fusion offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical dental vision and a 401(k) plan.
