Role Purpose

At Jumio, we’re building trusted identity solutions powered by machine learning and biometrics.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, build, and maintain backend services for deploying and serving ML models in production

  • Develop high-performance APIs and services in Java, with supporting components in Python

  • Deploy and operate services on AWS using ECS + Fargate, SageMaker, or EC2 with Kubernetes

  • Enable both real-time (low-latency) and batch inference workflows

  • Ensure service reliability, scalability, and performance in production environments

  • Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation

  • Monitor systems using observability tools and proactively resolve production issues

  • Collaborate with ML engineers to optimize model serving and integration workflows

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong backend engineering fundamentals with proficiency in Java

  • Working knowledge of Python, especially in ML-related workflows

  • Hands-on experience with AWS services (ECS, EC2, DynamoDB, Redis, S3, SageMaker)

  • Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, ECS, Kubernetes)

  • Familiarity with Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tools

  • Experience building and operating production systems with CI/CD and monitoring

  • Experience with observability tools (Datadog, New Relic, or similar)

  • Understanding of how ML models are deployed and served in production

  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced environment

Nice to Have

  • Experience with asynchronous programming and concurrent systems

  • Familiarity with MLOps or ML platform concepts

  • Experience optimizing low-latency, high-throughput systems

  • Exposure to model lifecycle management (training → deployment → monitoring)
