<h1>Senior Machine Learning Engineer (m/w/d)</h1>
<p>Four models in production today. Fifteen to twenty by mid-2027. The shared pipeline that gets them there has to hold β and you own everything after handoff: packaging, deployment, drift detection, and the call on whether a model is fit to serve.</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> Berlin SchΓΆneberg β you work from our office, hybrid with 3 days office and 2 days home office.</p>
<h3>About us</h3>
<p>CarOnSale is the AI-powered platform for B2B used car trading in Europe. Over 40,000 buyers from more than 20 countries trade on our platform β and 85% of inventory is exclusive to us. We connect software, pricing intelligence, logistics and financing in one layer β as the operating system for an entire industry.</p>
<p><em><strong>One Platform. One Profit Engine.</strong></em></p>
<h3>The platform you build in</h3>
<p>Our machine learning runs on one shared, central platform β not a separate pipeline per model. Five canonical stages: data extraction, validation, transformation, training and evaluation. A Snowflake data warehouse feeds a SageMaker managed feature store, and models reach production through governed CI/CD promotion lanes on Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure. Your job is to build inside it and make it stronger, so the next model costs less to ship than the last one.</p>
<h3>Your responsibilities</h3>
<ul>
<li>You own models from handoff through to production: packaging, deployment, monitoring, and the decision on whether a model is ready to serve</li>
<li>You keep production models reliable β drift detection, performance monitoring, alerting and incident response when something moves</li>
<li>You own the serving and inference path: fitted pipeline artifacts, inference entry points, monitoring hooks and feature-store parity</li>
<li>You review model design and evaluation methodology before anything ships, and catch data leakage, backward-window errors and weak evaluation during development, while they are still cheap to fix</li>
<li>You extend the shared platform so it stays useful for every model, without project-specific logic leaking into shared code</li>
<li>You set the engineering standards the platform runs on as it scales across the organisation</li>
</ul>
<h3>What you bring</h3>
<ul>
<li>2+ years in production machine learning engineering, with real ownership of models after handoff β not only training them</li>
<li>Strong Python: typed, tested, production-grade code, and you review the work of others</li>
<li>Enough machine learning depth to challenge a pipeline on problem framing, feature engineering, model selection and evaluation methodology</li>
<li>Hands-on experience with a managed ML platform β SageMaker, Vertex AI, Databricks or Azure ML β plus feature stores, CI/CD for machine learning, AWS and Terraform</li>
<li>An AI-native way of working: you use tools like Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot actively in your daily work</li>
<li>English at C1 level, written and spoken. German is not required β we work in English</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Nice to have</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Snowflake and dbt β you can pick both up here</li>
<li>Experience mentoring colleagues or reviewing their work</li>
<li>Comfort operating where the answer is not defined yet</li>
</ul>
<h3>What to expect from us</h3>
<ul>
<li>Hybrid working: 3 days in office, 2 days remote β plus 25 "Work from Anywhere" days per year</li>
<li>28 days annual leave</li>
<li>2Γ annual career & development conversations</li>
<li>Company pension with 20% employer contribution</li>
<li>Fully paid Deutschlandticket (public transport)</li>
<li>FitX membership or Urban Sports Club subsidy</li>
<li>Virtual stock options β share in the upside</li>
<li>Modern IT setup for your day-to-day work</li>
<li>Structured onboarding with buddy programme and social events</li>
<li>Lived diversity: active women's network, meditation & prayer room, dog-friendly office</li>
</ul>
