Job Description

Join the Tilt team

At Tilt, we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. Named among the next billion-dollar startups, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward.

The Opportunity, Machine Learning Engineer, APAC

As an Machine Learning Engineer focusing on MLOps, you will play a pivotal role in operationalising our ML models, ensuring they are scalable, reliable, and easy to monitor. Working in a small team of Data Scientists and Data Engineers in APAC, you'll build feature stores for model development, facilitate model refit/retrain iterations, enhance model deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, as well as strengthen model monitoring.

Tilt is a remote-first company. We drive connectivity through regular company offsites. Travel for company offsites is expected at a minimum 2 times a year.

What you'll be doing

• Design and Implement Scalable MLOps Infrastructure: Develop and maintain the infrastructure required for the entire machine learning lifecycle, from data ingestion and model training to deployment and monitoring.

• Build and Maintain Feature Stores: Design and implement robust feature stores to ensure consistent and efficient feature management across all ML models

• Automate ML Workflows: Develop and implement CI/CD pipelines for machine learning models, automating the deployment and monitoring process.

• Implement Resource Management and Orchestration: Utilize tools like Kubernetes, Airflow, or similar technologies to effectively manage and orchestrate ML resources.

• Monitor and Debug Production ML Systems: Establish comprehensive monitoring and alerting systems to ensure the health and performance of deployed ML models.

• Collaborate with Data Scientists and Server Engineers: Work closely with data scientists and server engineers to understand their infrastructure needs and provide effective solutions.

Why you're a great fit

• 3+ years of experience in MLOps, ML Engineering, or DevOps for machine learning.

• Experience with machine learning algorithms and model development process.

• Demonstrated programming/software engineering experience.

• Strong expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP) for ML deployment.

• Strong knowledge of model monitoring tools (e.g., Evidently AI, MLflow).

• Hands-on experience with orchestration frameworks

• Familiarity with Pyspark and Databricks is a plus.

• Able to effectively leverage AI-powered development tools (e.g., Cursor, Augment, Factory) to enhance productivity, code quality, and collaboration.
