ML Software Engineer

ML Software Engineer

Department: Engineering

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Paris - Île-de-France

Description

We are seeking a skilled Machine Learning Software Engineer to help us scale and optimize the way we process and evaluate large volumes of radar and sensor data. In this role, you will be responsible for implementing, maintaining, and testing our machine learning and data processing pipelines - critical tools used by our research teams to train, evaluate, and deploy models.
You will design and build systems that enable ML researchers to work efficiently with hundreds of hours of driving data collected across diverse environments. This includes creating robust, cloud-based tools for model training, visualization, hyperparameter tuning, and experimentation. You will also own the release process for ML models and pipelines, ensuring high software quality and enabling automated evaluation and tracking of key performance metrics.
As a core member of the engineering team, you will contribute to the broader software architecture and work cross-functionally with ML researchers, software developers, and product teams. You’ll have the opportunity to lead major initiatives, gather and refine requirements, make sound technical design choices, and define clear roadmaps and validation strategies.

Your Role

• Scalable ML & Data Processing Pipelines
  • Design, implement, and maintain robust, modular, and scalable data processing pipelines that support ML model training and evaluation on large-scale radar and sensor datasets.
  • Own the software infrastructure for data preprocessing, ensuring high performance, reusability, and flexibility
• Model Evaluation & Release
  • Build tools to evaluate, inspect, and visualize model performance at scale, including metric tracking, qualitative playback, and custom scenario-based analyses.
  • Own the model release process, including versioning, validation, and traceability.
• Software Quality & Internal Tooling
  • Lead the development of internal tools that accelerate ML workflows and improve collaboration.
  • Translate experimental research code into production-quality systems.
  • Advocate for strong software engineering practices (testing, CI/CD, documentation).
    
    

What We Look For

• Proficiency in modern Python
• Track record of development and maintenance of complex data processing pipelines
• Strong experience with professional software development tools, such as source control (git), unit testing and testing within CI systems
• Outstanding sense of ownership over your work
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
• Strong level of English

Bonus Points:

• Experience with sensor data (e.g. camera, lidar, radar, IMU/GPS) and/or sensor fusion
• Experience with cloud computing platforms (GCP or other) and Cloud-native ML workflow
• Knowledge of data engineering and MLOps tools (Airflow, Kubernetes, Terraform).
• Experience with modern C++, CUDA or GPU programming

What We Offer

• Opportunity to make an impact at a young, venture-backed company in an emerging market
• Competitive salary, shares and benefits
• Lunch allowance, Carte Navigo and free snacks in the office
• A working place in the center of Paris
