Shiftsmart is hiring a Machine Learning Engineer

About the Role

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will lead the development of end-to-end machine learning solutions that directly impact how work is matched and fulfilled across a dynamic labor network. Your work will focus on designing robust, high-performance systems that model complex behaviors such as shift acceptance likelihood, optimal pricing, and dispatch efficiency.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and implement scalable ML pipelines from concept to production, integrating with cloud infrastructure and backend services
  • Train, evaluate, and deploy models that solve core marketplace challenges, including demand forecasting and partner selection
  • Develop computer vision systems to analyze inventory and monitor real-time stock levels in physical environments
  • Collaborate with engineering and product teams to refine data strategies and influence long-term technical vision
  • Mentor team members and contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience building and deploying machine learning systems in production environments
  • Proven ability to work with large-scale datasets using Python, SQL, pandas, and ML frameworks such as scikit-learn or XGBoost
  • Strong foundation in classification, object detection, and video-based action recognition tasks
  • Ability to translate business needs into technical solutions using data-driven reasoning
  • Experience working in fast-moving, ambiguous settings where initiative and ownership drive results
  • Strong communication skills with a track record of influencing cross-functional teams and leadership

Technology Environment

Our stack includes Python, MongoDB, Google Cloud Platform, SQL, pandas, scikit-learn, and XGBoost. You’ll work directly with data at scale and deploy models that power real-time decisioning across a distributed network.

Work Environment

This is a hybrid role based in New York City, with a general expectation of four days per week in the Manhattan office. The environment emphasizes collaboration, rapid iteration, and shared accountability.

Our Values

  • Execution Is Binary: We focus on delivering results with persistence and clarity
  • Missionaries, Not Mercenaries: We’re driven by purpose, not just pay
  • Inputs > Outcomes: We value effort, process, and data-led decisions
  • Honesty Over Harmony: We prioritize truth and feedback over comfort
  • Invent & Iterate: We build new solutions quickly and improve them continuously
