About This Opportunity
Join the team building H2O Driverless AI, our award-winning Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) platform. Driverless AI is a flagship product designed to use AI to make AI, automating the complex data science pipeline—including intelligent feature engineering, model selection, model validation, and interpretability (MLI). The platform significantly accelerates the time from data to production-ready models, generating highly optimized scoring pipelines in both Python and Java for high-performance, low-latency deployment.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a critical role in the full lifecycle development of core platform features, from high-performance computation back-end services to user-facing components.
This position is based in Sri Lanka.
What You Will Do
- Design, develop, and maintain core components of the H2O Driverless AI platform, focusing on scalability, performance, and reliability.
- Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code primarily in Python, contributing to the core AutoML engine, feature transformers, and model pipelines.
- Build and improve user interface elements and complex data visualizations using TypeScript.
- Implement and manage deployment mechanisms using Docker and containerization best practices to ensure seamless deployment across cloud and on-premise environments.
- Collaborate closely with data scientists, researchers, and product managers to translate complex machine learning research into production-quality software features.
- Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and mentor junior engineers on software architecture and engineering best practices.
What We Are Looking For
- 4+ years of professional experience in software development, building and shipping scalable enterprise software products.
- Deep expertise and fluency in Python (required for primary product development).
- Solid experience developing enterprise applications using Java and/or working with Java-based APIs and systems.
- Proven experience with front-end development using TypeScript or JavaScript.
- Expertise in containerization and orchestration, specifically utilizing Docker in development and production environments.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, multi-threading, concurrency, and performance optimization techniques.
How To Stand Out from the Crowd
- Hands-on experience or strong theoretical background in Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning, or Data Science concepts (e.g., feature engineering, model training/testing, explainability techniques).
- Familiarity with ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, XGBoost) or distributed computing technologies (e.g., Dask, Spark).
