Companies Waveapps Machine Learning Engineer II

About the role

Waveapps
At Wave, we help small businesses to thrive so the heart of our communities beats stronger.  We work in an environment buzzing with creative energy and inspiration. No matter where you are or how you get the job done, you have what you need to be successful and connected. The mark of true success at Wave is the ability to be bold, learn quickly and share your knowledge generously.

As a Machine Learning Engineer II, you will be a key contributor to the design, development, and deployment of our foundational AI and ML models. You will build robust, scalable machine learning pipelines and platforms that support advanced analytics and business intelligence. This role is perfect for a technical lead-in-the-making who wants to ensure our AI systems are efficient, reliable, and deeply integrated into our organizational goals.

Here's How You Make an Impact:

  • Design & Execute: Take ownership of the design and implementation of modern AI stack components, including data ingestion for AI/ML workloads and end-to-end model training and serving pipelines.

  • Scale & Optimize: Build and manage fault-tolerant AI platforms that scale economically. You will balance the maintenance of legacy models with the rapid development of advanced, scalable solutions.

  • Mentor & Collaborate: Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers and foster a collaborative environment. You will act as a bridge between data science and production engineering.

  • Drive Technical Excellence: Promote best practices in coding, testing, and MLOps. You thrive in ambiguous conditions by independently identifying opportunities to optimize model pipelines and improve AI workflows.

  • Cross-Functional Integration: Partner with data scientists, product managers, and software engineers to translate business needs into technical requirements and integrate AI solutions into production applications.

  • Implement Governance: Enforce model quality standards, integrity, and reliability. You will be responsible for implementing model lineage, fairness, and privacy controls within the automated pipelines.

  • Monitor & Measure: Build monitoring frameworks to track model performance and system KPIs, ensuring our AI initiatives drive measurable business outcomes.

  • You Thrive Here By Possessing the Following:

  • Experience: Minimum of 4–6 years of professional experience in machine learning engineering, with a proven track record of deploying models into production environments.

  • Education: Degree/Diploma in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Applied AI, Machine Learning, or some combination.
  • Technical Depth: Deep understanding of the modern AI stack, including data ingestion workflows and experience working with curated data warehouses like Snowflake, Databricks, or Redshift.

  • Cloud Proficiency: At least 3 years of hands-on experience with AWS infrastructure, specifically SageMaker, Spark/AWS Glue, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform.

  • Orchestration Expert: High proficiency in managing multi-stage workflows using Airflow or similar orchestration systems to automate training and deployment cycles.

  • MLOps Toolkit: Practical experience with MLflow, Kubeflow, or SageMaker Feature Store to support the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle.

  • Governance Mindset: Familiarity with model governance practices (lineage, fairness, and privacy) and experience using data cataloging tools for compliance.

  • Communication: Strong ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and influence project direction.

  • Industry Context: Experience in FinTech or SaaS environments is a significant advantage.
