ML (Data) Platform Engineer
About the CompanyWhy We Built Lyric: Supply chains are more critical and complex than ever. Every day, large enterprises navigate trillions of possible decisions that could impact the bottom line. Powerful algorithms and AI can address these problems, yet most organizations struggle to leverage supply chain AI at scale. The current SCM technologies are either rigid, limited-scope point solutions or custom solutions built in-house, which demand immense expertise and investment.That is…until now.Enter Lyric: Lyric is an enterprise AI platform built specifically for supply chains, offering the best of both worlds:Out-of-the-box AI solutions for optimizing networks, allocating inventory, scheduling routes, planning fulfillment capacity, promising orders, propagating demand, building predictions, analyzing scenarios, and more, plusA platform-first approach that empowers both business and technical users with end-to-end product composability, leveraging no-code tools, their own code, or even forking our code to build and refine supply chain decision intelligenceWith Lyric, enterprises no longer have to choose between flexibility and speed—they get both.The Mission: We’re building a new era in supply chain with the team best equipped to lead it. With over 20 years at the intersection of supply chain and algorithms, we developed a deep conviction that global supply chains needed something like Lyric. Since our inception in December 2021, that conviction has been validated time and time again.Today, a growing number of Fortune 500 companies, including Smurfit WestRock, Estée Lauder, Coca-Cola, Nike, and more, are innovating on their own terms with Lyric. We can’t wait to see what our customers, both current and future, are empowered to build with us next. Come build with us!Position OverviewLyric is looking for an ML (Data) Platform Engineer to help scale our AutoML platform — a system deeply intertwined with data management, feature engineering, and time series forecasting at scale. You’ll play a foundational role in building scalable, composable data infrastructure and pipelines that support both ML and analytics use cases.This is not a vanilla ETL role — you’ll work on building data platforms that underpin automated model building, experimentation, and data lineage systems with high SLA requirements. If you thrive at the intersection of ML, data infrastructure, and platform thinking, this is a high-impact opportunity.Key ResponsibilitiesBuild and scale data management systems that power our AutoML and forecasting platformsOwn and evolve the feature store and feature engineering workflowsImplement robust data SLAs and lineage systems across time series data pipelinesCollaborate with ML engineers, infra, and product teams to ensure scalable and user-aware platform designDrive architectural decisions around data distribution, versioning, and composabilityParticipate in the design of reusable systems for varied supply chain problemsQualificationsMust-Have:Strong experience working with large-scale data systems (Big Data, distributed pipelines)Hands-on experience with ETL pipelines, data lineage, and data reliability toolingProven experience in ML feature engineering and/or building feature storesExposure to time series data, forecasting pipelines, or AutoML workflowsStrong problem-solving and design thinking ability — can break down ambiguous platform problemsGood-to-Have:Familiarity with modern data infra (e.g., Apache Iceberg, ClickHouse, Data Lakes)Product thinking — can anticipate how users will interact with the system and build accordinglyExperience building composable, user-extensible systemsPrior exposure to AutoML frameworks (e.g., SageMaker, VertexAI) or internal ML platforms Apply tot his job
