Role Description
Mercor is hiring on behalf of a leading AI research lab to bring on highly skilled
Machine Learning Engineers
with a proven record of building, training, and evaluating high-performance ML systems in real-world environments. In this role, you will design, implement, and curate high-quality machine learning datasets, tasks, and evaluation workflows that power the training and benchmarking of advanced AI systems. This position is ideal for engineers who have excelled in competitive machine learning settings such as Kaggle, possess deep modelling intuition, and can translate complex real-world problem statements into robust, well-structured ML pipelines and datasets. You will work closely with researchers and engineers to develop realistic ML problems, ensure dataset quality, and drive reproducible, high-impact experimentation.
Candidates should have 3+ years of applied ML experience or a strong record in competitive ML, and must be based in India.
Ideal applicants are proficient in Python, experienced in building reproducible pipelines, and familiar with benchmarking frameworks, scoring methodologies, and ML evaluation best practices.
##
Responsibilities
Frame unique ML problems for enhancing ML capabilities of LLMs. - Design, build, and optimise machine learning models for classification, prediction, NLP, recommendation, or generative tasks. - Run rapid experimentation cycles, evaluate model performance, and iterate continuously. - Conduct advanced feature engineering and data preprocessing. - Implement adversarial testing, model robustness checks, and bias evaluations. - Fine-tune, evaluate, and deploy transformer-based models where necessary. - Maintain clear documentation of datasets, experiments, and model decisions. - Stay updated on the latest ML research, tools, and techniques to push modelling capabilities forward.
##
Required Qualifications
At least
3 years
of full-time experience in machine learning model development - Technical degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field - Demonstrated competitive machine learning experience (Kaggle, DrivenData, or equivalent) - Evidence of top-tier performance in ML competitions (Kaggle medals, finalist placements, leaderboard rankings) - Strong proficiency in
