We at Procal are looking for a savvy Machine Learning & Data Engineer to join our team of analytics experts to help us extract value from our data. You will lead all the processes from data collection, cleaning, and preprocessing, to training models and deploying them to production. On a high level we are looking for very hands-on engineers with good experience on big data, data architecture, machine learning, and LLM.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about artificial intelligence and stay up to date with the latest developments in the field.

This position will be a combination of typical Data Scientist math and analytical skills, with research, advanced business, communication, and presentation skills.

Key Responsibilities

Develop big data scalable solutions using Hadoop, Hive, Spark, Map-Reduce, Java, Python.
Design schema and data molding for NoSQL Database & Data Warehouse.
Develop ETL data flow and Cloud Integration to build reporting solutions.
Assemble large, complex data sets that meet functional / non-functional requirements.
Identify, design, and implement internal process improvements: automating manual processes, optimizing data delivery, re-designing infrastructure for greater scalability, etc.
Build the infrastructure required for optimal extraction, transformation, and loading of data from a wide variety of data sources using SQL and Spark ‘big data’ technologies.
Designs, develops, codes, and troubleshoots with consideration of upstream and downstream systems and technical implications.
Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain to improve the value realized by automation.
Applies technical troubleshooting to break down solutions and solve technical problems of basic complexity.
Gathers, analyzes, and draws conclusions from large, diverse data sets to identify problems and contribute to decision-making in service of secure, stable application development.
Verifying data quality, and/or ensuring it via data cleaning.
Exploring and visualizing data to gain an understanding of it, then identifying differences in data distribution that could affect performance when deploying the model in the real world.
Understanding business objectives and developing models that help to achieve them, along with metrics to track their progress.
Managing available resources such as hardware, data, and personnel so that deadlines are met.
Designing, developing, and researching Machine Learning systems, models, and schemes
Studying, transforming, and converting data science prototypes
Performing statistical analysis and using results to improve models.
Training and retraining ML systems and models as needed.
Analyzing the use cases of ML algorithms and ranking them by their success probability
Understanding when your findings can be applied to business decisions.
Enriching existing ML frameworks and libraries.
Build efficient pipeline to host LLM service in local machine.
Develop high scalable RAG system combining with LLM to serve daily analysis and troubleshooting.
