Role overview
Applied Machine Learning Engineer, Industry Solutions
Requirements and responsibilities
Readable role content extracted into sections for faster review.
The Responsibilities
- Building and delivering industry machine learning solutions
- Designing end-to-end ML pipelines for client problems in time series, routing and planning, GenAI, natural language processing, computer vision, and predictive modelling
- Choosing the right classical method for the problem (gradient-boosted trees such as XGBoost or LightGBM, random forests, deep neural networks, kernel methods, classical optimisers) based on data characteristics, not framework preference
- Treating the quantum layer (when present) as a constrained component of the model and using classical ML tradecraft (feature engineering, regularisation, training schedules, hyperparameter sweeps) to make the hybrid pipeline work
- Classical machine learning craftsmanship in service of hybrid models
- Doing the unsexy parts of an ML pipeline well: data cleaning, leakage protection, cross-validation design, baseline construction, statistical significance testing
- Designing feature representations that align with the quantum component when one is present, including Fourier-spectrum features and other quantum-aware encodings that classical models can also consume
- Profiling and improving training stability when gradients are noisy or non-standard, in cooperation with the quantum research team
- Contributing to our internal ML libraries and SDK so that future client engagements can re-use what one engagement built
- Supporting research and applied product development
- Translating proposed quantum machine learning algorithms and ansätze from the research team into testable implementations within classical ML pipelines
- Helping evaluate where and why a quantum layer adds measurable benefit on applied tasks, and, just as importantly, where it does not
The Requirements
- Completed a Master's degree in computer science, applied mathematics, data science, statistics, engineering, physics, or equivalent subject
- Hands-on experience with classical machine learning through coursework, an industrial internship, a research project, or a first junior role, and a clear interest in continuing in applied ML
- Strong command of Python, the standard data science stack (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn), and at least one deep learning framework (PyTorch or TensorFlow)
- Comfort across the classical ML toolkit beyond deep learning, including tree-based methods (XGBoost, LightGBM, random forests), gradient boosting, and kernel methods, with good judgement about which method fits which problem
- Experience designing rigorous experiments (cross-validation, baseline construction, statistical testing, hold-out evaluation) and reporting the results honestly with appropriate uncertainty
- Software engineering fundamentals: version control with Git, testing, reproducible environments, configuration-driven experiments
- Curiosity about quantum computing and a willingness to pick up the necessary quantum concepts on the job. Formal quantum education is not required, and experience with frameworks such as PennyLane, Qiskit or Cirq is a plus rather than a requirement
- Familiarity with at least one applied ML vertical such as time series forecasting, NLP, computer vision, or industrial optimisation is a plus
- Goal-oriented and analytical, with the ability to work independently and as part of an interdisciplinary team
- Proficiency in written and spoken English
- Applicants must have the legal right to live and work in the European Union or Switzerland. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
The Rewards
- An opportunity to work with some of the brightest minds in the pioneering field of Quantum Technologies as well as an experienced and progressive Leadership team
- Gain knowledge of some of the most cutting-edge technology developments in science & engineering
- A chance to be part of one of Europe’s leading technology firms of the upcoming decades
- Welcoming, friendly, and professional colleagues
- A personal development plan with clear goals for advancement
- A competitive salary
- Flexible working arrangements
- A diverse and supportive atmosphere, where innovation and initiative are encouraged
Company description
