A Machine Learning Engineer is a professional who designs, develops, and maintains machine learning (ML) systems and applications. Machine learning engineers have a strong background in computer science, mathematics, and statistics and possess the technical skills needed to develop and deploy ML models.
Their primary responsibility is to build and deploy machine learning models that can learn from and make predictions on large datasets. They work with data scientists, software engineers, and other professionals to develop end-to-end ML systems that can be integrated into applications and workflows. This may involve selecting the appropriate algorithms, fine-tuning models, and deploying them in a production environment.
Machine Learning Engineers also have to keep up with the latest developments in ML and AI technologies, research and experiment with new algorithms and techniques, and continuously optimize and improve their ML models to achieve better performance.
