Our client, a cutting-edge deep-tech AI platform in the MENA region, is seeking a Senior/Lead Machine Learning Engineer.[This role requires relocation to Riyadh, KSA]


As a Senior Machine Learning (AI) Engineer, you will design, develop, and deploy advanced machine learning solutions across various domains, including NLP, LLMs, Recommender engines, and Anomaly detection. This role involves end-to-end project ownership, from data preprocessing to the creation of service APIs, and offers opportunities to work on cutting-edge AI technologies.


You will be responsible for

  • Mentoring junior team members, sharing knowledge, and advising on the best machine learning and software engineering practices and approaches.
  • Establishing and maintaining robust communication channels with other cross-functional teams to facilitate the integration of machine learning solutions into other Unifonic products.
  • Developing and optimizing highly confident machine learning algorithms and models and creating/exposing the service APIs using frameworks such as Flask, FastAPIs, or other relevant frameworks.
  • Staying up-to-date with the latest machine learning research papers, as well as AI trends (i.e., Generative AI).
  • Collaborating with the data engineering team and other teams to collect and analyze extensive datasets, extracting insights and patterns in real-time, near-real-time, or batch processing mode.
  • Implementing proof of concepts and prototypes to demonstrate the potential of new AI use cases and innovations.
  • Building scalable, maintainable machine learning services that should handle thousands of requests per second and help perform the required load tests to meet the SLA.
