AI/ML Software Engineer(NLP)

We are looking for an AI/ML Software Engineer(NLP) to harden and evolve FLIK, DDSI s NLP-based analytics application. This is not a data science role; you will partner with a data science team that owns modeling logic and analytical methods. This role adds dedicated software engineering capacity to a data science-led team, enabling separation of responsibilities between modeling and engineering concerns.

Responsibilities

• Separate core modeling workflows from the Streamlit application into a reusable Python package.
• Improve code structure, testing, and CI/CD reliability in alignment with department standards.
• Enable programmatic (non-UI) access to FLIK capabilities.
• Develop architecture documentation and contributor guidance, including support for AI-assisted development.
• Reduce operational risk by improving testability, reliability, and CI/CD practices.
• Make FLIK maintainable by introducing clear architecture, documentation, and coding conventions.
• Enable reuse by decoupling modeling workflows from the Streamlit UI and supporting non-UI access.
• This allows the data science team to focus on evolving methods and delivering value to users, while ensuring the underlying system is robust, extensible, and aligned with department standards.
  
  

Top 3-5 Skills

• Python software architecture & refactoring: Experience separating reusable domain logic from UI/framework layers in complex applications, especially in data science contexts.
• Testing, CI/CD, and operational hardening: Strong experience with pytest, integration testing, and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Docker); ability to improve reliability in existing systems.
• Python packaging and interface design: Experience designing installable.
• Python packages and defining clear programmatic interfaces (e.g., scriptable, API-friendly, or tool-compatible access) Streamlit at production scale: Experience working with Streamlit applications.
• (multi-page apps, session state, callbacks), With a focus on maintainability and testing.
• Developer experience for humans and AI-assisted tools: Ability to write clear documentation, architecture guidance, and coding conventions that enable both developers and AI coding assistants to work effectively in the codebase.
• Are there any specific programs or software with which this candidate needs to be familiar, or that would be a bonus if they had?
  
  

Required Skills

• Languages: Python, R (bonus).
• Core application stack: Streamlit (multi-page app, session state, callbacks); pytest, Git + GitLab (MRs, CI pipelines), Docker.
• Heavily used Python libraries: pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, spaCy, NLTK, Gensim, Transformers / ONNX Runtime / Optimum, LangChain, LangGraph, LangChain OpenAI, Plotly, matplotlib, pyLDAvis, Pydantic / pydandic-settings (comfort reading and integrating these libraries is sufficient; our data science team owns the modeling and NLP methodology).
• Dev tooling: pre-commit, Black, Ruff, mypy, docformatter, Sphinx.
• Python packaging; streamlit ecosystem; infrastructure & deployment; AI-assisted development; documentation & quality(bonus).
  
  

Benefits

• 401(k).
• Dental Insurance.
• Health insurance.
• Vision insurance.
• We are an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity, equality, inclusion, and respect for people.
• The salary will be determined based on several factors, including, but not limited to, location, relevant education, qualifications, experience, technical skills, and business needs.
