Let’s shape the future of customer engagement together! How you will make an impact: We’re looking for a talented Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join a cross-functional machine learning team shaping the future of our platform’s AI capabilities. In this role, you’ll architect and develop robust systems for feature engineering and large-scale model training — collaborating across teams, navigating complex data challenges, and guiding technical direction. This is an exceptional opportunity for someone with a strong platform mindset who is passionate about building end-to-end ML workflows, enjoys tackling real-world data problems, and thrives on ownership from ideation through to deployment. You’ll play a pivotal part in designing reusable, scalable ML infrastructure, enabling teams to accelerate experimentation and bring intelligent features to life. While specific domain expertise in certain ML methods is a plus, what matters most is your ability to identify impactful opportunities, prototype new solutions, and continuously advance our platform’s machine learning capabilities. One of our core values is a growth mindset and Iterable is a company where everyone can grow. If this is a role that excites you, please do apply as we value applicants for the skills they bring beyond a job description. How You Will Make a Difference: • Independently lead large-scale machine learning initiatives—delivering capabilities for scalable feature engineering, data processing, and model training on Databricks. • Design, build, and deploy machine learning models that enable our partners to reach the right user with the right message at the right time. • Own the complete lifecycle of ML platform features: from requirements gathering and architecture, through implementation, deployment, and post-launch support. • Shape architectural decisions aimed at building robust, reusable, and highly available ML infrastructure that raises the bar for engineering and data science excellence. • Mentor colleagues through code reviews, technical design sessions, and knowledge sharing, helping grow a strong culture of engineering rigor and learning. We Are Looking for People Who: • Have 5 years of experience in machine learning engineering, data infrastructure, or platform engineering, preferably in a SaaS environment. • Demonstrate a strong track record leading multi-stakeholder projects that deliver platform features, scalable ML tooling, or end-to-end training systems. • Show proficiency with Python (with a preference for experience in distributed data processing environments like Databricks, Spark, or similar platforms). • Bring hands-on experience with large-scale data pipelines, distributed systems, and cloud data storage (Databricks Delta, Spark, Kafka, Postgres, etc.). • Exhibit a product-minded approach: comfortable partnering with product managers and data practitioners to balance trade-offs across usability, scalability, and complexity. • Possess curiosity and adaptability to master new ML and data technologies, frameworks, and best practices. • Communicate and collaborate effectively within remote and distributed teams. Bonus Points • Experience building or operating ML platforms on Databricks. • Scala development experience • Familiarity with ML workflow orchestration tools (e.g., MLflow, Kubeflow, Airflow) and interest in automating model development, testing, and deployment. • Exposure to generative AI or large language model workflows within an agentic or conversational UX context. • Experience designing developer-facing APIs or tools to empower other ML engineers or data scientists. • Success working in remote-first or globally distributed engineering organizations. Perks & Benefits: • Competitive salaries, meaningful equity, & 401(k) plan • Medical, dental, vision, & life insurance • Balance Days (additional paid holidays) • Fertility & Adoption Assistance • Paid Sabbatical • Flexible PTO • Monthly Employee Wellness allowance • Monthly Professional Development allowance • Pre-tax commuter benefits • Complete laptop workstation
