Senior Python ML Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Python ML Engineer who will focus on automation as well as work on developing a solution that abstracts the backup application, automates workload placement, and enables self-service for end-users via REST APIs.

Tasks will involve working with internal teams to identify what currently does/not work, what the future state and what the migration stages look like. This will be done by working closely with SMEs in the backup, storage, database, and UNIX areas.
