Your Role:
As a Machine Learning (ML) Engineer at Elanco, you will be a key member of our engineering team, specializing in the end-to-end lifecycle of custom and third-party (including open source) machine learning models. You will translate complex business problems into scalable, production-ready AI solutions. This role is focused on the practical application of machine learning, requiring a strong blend of software engineering discipline and deep ML expertise to design, build, and deploy models that deliver real-world value.
This includes four strategic priorities:
Pipeline Acceleration: Optimize the search and approval of high impact medicines with a focus on speed, cost and precision.
Manufacturing Excellence: Improve the efficiency, quality and consistency of core manufacturing processes, specifically execution and equipment effectiveness.
Sales Effectiveness: Simplify the process to find, trust and consume relevant customer insights that drive sales growth and improved engagement.
Productivity: Expand operating margin through efficiency by systematically reducing our operating expenses across the company, improving profitability.
Your Role (Responsibilities):
Custom Model Development: Design, build, and train bespoke ML models tailored to specific business needs, from initial prototype to full implementation.
Third-Party Model Utilization: Identify, tune and deploy third-party ML models, covering proprietary and open-source models.
Production Deployment: Manage the deployment of ML models into production environments, ensuring they are scalable, reliable, and performant.
MLOps and Automation: Build and maintain robust MLOps pipelines for CI/CD, model monitoring, and automated retraining.
Data Pipeline Construction: Collaborate with data engineers/stewards to build and optimize data pipelines that feed ML models, ensuring data quality and efficient processing for both training and inference.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with data scientists, product managers, and software engineers to define requirements, integrate models into applications, and deliver impactful features.
Code and System Quality: Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested production-grade code. Uphold high software engineering standards across all projects.
Performance Tuning: Monitor and analyze model performance in production, identifying opportunities for optimization and iteration.
What You Need to Succeed (Minimum Qualifications):
Education: A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or a related quantitative field.
Required Experience: 3+ years experience in Machine Learning/Engineering or relevant work.
Programming Excellence: Advanced proficiency in Python and deep experience with core ML/data science libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, pandas, NumPy).
Software Engineering Fundamentals: Strong foundation in software engineering principles, including data structures, algorithms, testing, and version control (Git).
ML Model Deployment: Hands-on experience deploying machine learning models into a production environment.
MLOps Tooling: Experience with MLOps tools and frameworks and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
Cloud Platform Proficiency: Practical experience with Public Cloud, specifically Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and their ML services (e.g., Azure ML, Vertex AI).
What Will Give You the Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):
DevSecOps: Experience with CI/CD, Git, Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), Infrastructure-as-Code (HashiCorp Terraform).
Machine Learning Theory: Understanding of deep learning, NLP, and classical ML.
Problem-Solving: Pragmatic and results-oriented approach to translating ambiguous requirements into technical solutions.
Industry Experience: Broad understanding of life science, along with regulatory/compliance considerations and how ML supports life science outcomes.
Communication: Ability to articulate complex technical decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
