Machine Learning Engineer (Data & Model Validation) - Remote position (Mumbai)

Job Description

We are looking for an ML Engineer focused on Data and Model Validation to ensure the correctness, reliability, and production readiness of machine learning systems. This role owns data quality, model evaluation, drift detection, and release validation for ML pipelines deployed at scale.

· Define and implement baseline expectations on datasets and features
· Validate ML models using metrics such as F1, precision, recall, AUC
· Perform regression testing across model retraining cycles
· Detect and respond to data drift, feature drift, and prediction drift
· Implement automated quality gates that block or allow model releases
· Integrate validation checks into CI/CD and MLOps pipelines
· Validate batch and real-time inference systems




· Define model release readiness criteria
· Document validation logic and monitoring thresholds

Mandatory Skills · Hands-on experience with Great Expectations or Deequ
· Solid Python skills (Pandas, NumPy, PyTest)
· Strong understanding of ML fundamentals
· Experience validating ML models in production
· Experience with ML pipelines
· Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines

Good to Have · Experience with Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch
· Experience with MLflow, Azure ML, SageMaker, or Vertex AI
· Experience with LLM / GenAI systems
