Machine Learning Engineer
About MailerLite
About the Role
We’re betting the next phase of MailerLite on ML, and this is one of the first hires to make it real. The data’s already here. The team is still taking shape — and you’ll play a key role in defining it. We're looking for someone who's excited to help build what's next.
Qualifications
Strong applied ML fundamentals: feature engineering, calibration, leakage avoidance, and honest evaluation - especially on imbalanced and time-series problems.
Hands-on LLM fine-tuning experience (supervised fine-tuning at minimum).
Fluency in Python and the modern ML stack (e.g. scikit-learn, gradient boosting, pandas/Polars, PyTorch).
Comfort writing performant SQL over large datasets and working with event/columnar stores and relational databases.
Experience designing training and inference pipelines and the orchestration around them.
A strong sense of ownership and the ability to work autonomously in a remote, async team.
Clear written communication.
At least 4 hours overlap required with CET time zone.
Bonus skills
Preference optimization (DPO/RLHF-style) or reinforcement learning experience.
Experience with multi-GPU / distributed training.
Structured / constrained generation (function calling, schema-constrained output).
Experience building agentic, tool-using systems against real APIs.
Anomaly detection, uplift/causal modeling, or recommender/segmentation work.
Background in marketing, growth, deliverability, or other behavioral-data domains.
Responsibilities
Fine-tune LLMs on our own data and outcomes to power a goal-driven assistant that recommends and takes action on a customer's behalf.
Design and own the training and inference pipelines behind these models - data prep, training, evaluation, and serving.
Build evaluation harnesses that prove a model is genuinely better before it ships - measuring real-world lift, not just offline metrics.
Enforce reliable, structured model outputs so predictions and actions can be trusted in production.
Collaborate with product and engineering teams who consume your models as shared infrastructure.
Benefits
International health insurance: Provided with coverage in most countries, with a monthly payout available in select countries where coverage is limited.
