Job Opening: Machine Learning Engineer
Hi, I'm Dan, CTO and co-founder at Omnia Fishing. I'm looking for a Data Science Engineer to join our growing team. This role is cross-functional and will work across engineering, product, marketing, and company leadership.
Omnia is looking for our first team member focused solely on machine learning engineering. Data has been at the center of what we’ve built from day one and we have used data to heavily inform everything from strategic plans to product prioritization to engineering tooling. We are looking to leverage machine learning to continue to grow our business and extend our existing data-driven retail product offering. You would own, define and build the middle layer of the platform including the CI/CD pipeline. You will drive the development and deployment of core machine learning features and services.
Our team is small and remote-friendly with members who know how to get things done efficiently and effectively. We keep meetings to a minimum and trust each other to communicate as needed.

What you’ll do:
- Lead and create best practices for machine learning service development that include data pipeline development and automation, model version and deployment, and machine learning feature testing
- Design and manage CI/CD pipelines for our machine learning product deployment
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Leadership and Insights & Analytics
- Create business value by infusing data into products and processing
What we’re looking for:
- Customer obsession
- A passion for data and algorithms
- Comfortable working in a rapid growth environment
- Ability to work collaboratively in a dynamic, team-based environment
- 5+ years of machine learning and data science industry experience
- Strong relational SQL skills (we use BigQuery and Postgres)
- Strong expertise in developing and deploying machine learning models in production
- Solid understanding of machine learning, software development, and statistical modeling
- Proficiency in Python and GCP machine learning platform
- Experience with building REST APIs with a framework such as FastAPI, Django or Flask
- Experience with cloud computing services or platforms (GCP and AWS preferred)
