Senior Data/ML Engineer - Databricks Forecasting Platform | Remote, রিমোট পদ

পদটির নাম Senior Data/ML Engineer - Databricks Forecasting Platform | Remote, নিয়োগকর্তা Toptal। এটি Senior স্তরের পদ, অর্থাৎ নিয়োগকর্তা আশা করেন সিদ্ধান্তগুলো আপনিই নেবেন। কাজটি আইটি ও প্রোগ্রামিং বিভাগের এবং পুরোপুরি রিমোট। প্রার্থী কোথায় থাকেন তা নিয়ে নিয়োগকর্তার কোনো শর্তই নেই, তাই আপনি যেখানে আছেন সেখান থেকেই আবেদন করতে পারেন।

বিজ্ঞাপনে নাম ধরে বলা প্রধান টুলগুলো: Machine Learning, Python। জীবনবৃত্তান্তে ঠিক এই দক্ষতাগুলোরই সুনির্দিষ্ট উদাহরণ থাকা দরকার।

নিয়োগকর্তা কোনো অঙ্ক প্রকাশ করেননি, বিষয়টি সাক্ষাৎকারে ঠিক হয়। নিয়োগকর্তা চান কাজের সময় দলের সময়ের সঙ্গে কিছুটা মিলুক, আর তার জন্য আগেই একটি সময়সূচি ঠিক করে নেওয়া দরকার।

এই পদটি একটি স্বয়ংক্রিয় যাচাই পেরিয়ে এসেছে: যেসব বিজ্ঞাপনে বিদেশি ওয়ার্ক পারমিট, ভিসা স্পনসরশিপ, নির্দিষ্ট নাগরিকত্ব বা নির্দিষ্ট কোনো দেশে বসবাস চাওয়া হয়, সেগুলো এই তালিকায় ওঠে না।

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Data/ML Engineer to refactor, operationalize, and improve an existing time series forecasting platform that's already live and driving real business value. This is not a greenfield build - the focus is modernizing a Databricks-based forecasting system that's been maintained primarily by a single developer for years. You'll reduce technical debt, strengthen testing and observability, and raise the engineering bar on a system the business already depends on. If you'd rather bring discipline and maturity to an existing production system than start from a blank slate, this is built for that.

What You'll Do

* Review the current forecasting platform architecture and identify areas for improvement

* Refactor existing Databricks, Python, and PySpark implementations

* Move business logic out of Databricks notebooks and into reusable Python modules or packages

* Improve separation of concerns between orchestration and core business logic

* Establish stronger engineering standards and help define what "good" looks like for the platform

* Implement or improve automated testing practices and validation mechanisms for forecasting workflows

* Build or improve monitoring and observability, increasing visibility into how predictions are generated

* Help monitor model behavior and operational health over time

* Improve reliability of scheduled training workflows, reducing manual intervention on failure

* Improve failure handling, retries, and overall workflow resilience

* Maintain and extend existing forecasting capabilities as needed

What You Bring

* Strong professional experience with Databricks, including workspaces, notebooks, scheduled workflows, and CI/CD processes

* Strong Python engineering experience, including designing reusable modules or packages

* Strong PySpark experience with production data pipelines or distributed data processing

* Experience refactoring production code and improving maintainability

* Familiarity with time series forecasting concepts and workflows

* Ability to understand and work effectively within an existing, unfamiliar codebase

* Experience improving software quality, testing strategy, and engineering standards

* Experience implementing automated testing practices

* Experience improving monitoring, observability, or operational visibility for production systems

* Strong judgment around technical debt, refactoring priorities, and maintainable architecture

* Ability to work with existing systems rather than only building from scratch

Why This Role

* Real production impact: Improve a system the business already relies on, not a proof-of-concept

* Engineering maturity focus: Bring testing, observability, and maintainability to a platform that's outgrown its current state

* Meaningful ownership: Help define engineering standards for the forecasting platform going forward

* Flexible location: Preference for Toronto or St. Louis, but open to remote consultants globally with North American working-hours overlap
