Job Description

ML (Machine Learning) Engineering Consultant

Location - St. Paul - Minnesota

C2H - MAX Salary of $155K + 10% Bonus

Looking for a senior level candidate with all the mentioned skills below.


Being that this team is working in PODS and works very close together the ONSITE 3 days per week is NOT flexible (but the start/stop times those days are flexible)

• If a candidate is open to DIRECT HIRE or PERM let us know and that most likely could be an option.
• The manager really wants someone that is really polished and higher level within AI (I know its newer but higher level than just entry level)

Candidates have been missing the mark with either:

1. not being strong enough with technology skills
   1. Core ML Engineering skills (Python, Advances SQL, etc.); Cloud & Inf (Aws-Focused); DevOps, CI/CD & Automation
2. Limited AI experience and/or solutions in past work history

***Also he is looking for the right culture fit for his team: Someone that is very collaborative and HAPPY (not just willing) to come onsite 3 days per week and be part of the team
