Job Detail

What You'll Do

You will have a multi-faceted role: starting from real use cases, you will cover the full product development cycle from first investigation to the development of novel and scalable prototypes based on machine learning algorithms until the release of the product, collaborating with a wide range of experts in the field.

You thrive in dynamic environments that require a rare blend of innovation and speed of execution. You are an enthusiastic data engineer and you pride yourself on your communication and interpersonal skills, a keen eye for beautiful code, and an ability to autonomously plan and organize your work assignments based on the objectives of the team.

Who You'll Work With

You will be working with the team behind Cisco AI Network Analytics. You join a group of engineers with a very diverse skillset, but united by their passion for innovation and the excitement of turning wildly disruptive ideas into products that impact the industry at large. You will join our effort in building Cisco’s next-generation ML platform.

We love building products that change our industry by combining distributed computing, ML, and networking. Our technology stack includes Python, Scala, Go as well as a number of internal tools built on top of Apache Spark, TensorFlow, PostgreSQL and the Hadoop ecosystem.

Who You Are

You are a highly technical machine learning engineer with excellent oral and written presentation and interpersonal skills. You are used to quickly code up prototypes using a variety of tools, algorithms and languages and, most importantly, you can easily align your personal contributions on high-level team goals.

You hold a PhD or M.Sc. in computer science or a related field and you can demonstrate a proven track record in the following areas:

• Strong background in machine learning is required, preferably with 5 to 10 years of industrial experience.


• Strong programming skills in Python, a demonstrable ability to manipulate large and complex datasets using distributed computing technologies (e.g., Apache Spark),


• Knowledge of deep learning, reinforcement learning and natural language processing is a plus.


• A keen interest for unsupervised learning and the broader technological spectrum around machine learning and data science.


• Excellent English spoken and written skills (C1 level) is required.
