AI Regression Detection Engineer

Zoe Levy

Full-time · Job · Berlin

About the role

Model performance degrades silently. A retrained model scores well on validation but produces subtly worse predictions in production because the data distribution shifted, a feature pipeline broke, or a labeling standard changed. By the time someone notices, the damage is done. Our regression detection platform catches these problems before deployment. You'll build the automated testing infrastructure: statistical comparison between model versions across stratified evaluation slices, data drift detection between training and serving distributions, and the alerting system that blocks deployments when quality regressions are detected. This is defensive ML engineering — the unglamorous work that prevents expensive production failures. Every model deployment at our clients passes through your regression gates. When the system works, nothing bad happens. When it catches a regression, it saves weeks of debugging and customer trust.

Responsibilities

  • Build automated regression testing for model version comparisons
  • Design stratified evaluation across demographic and behavioral slices
  • Implement data drift detection between training and serving distributions
  • Create deployment gates that block models with detected quality regressions
  • Define regression severity thresholds calibrated to business impact

Requirements

  • 5+ years in ML engineering with model evaluation expertise
  • Strong statistical skills for distribution comparison and hypothesis testing
  • MLflow and Airflow experience for pipeline orchestration
  • Deep understanding of data drift, concept drift, and model degradation
  • Docker and infrastructure skills for testing automation

Benefits

  • Fully remote — European time zones
  • 30 days PTO
  • Senior compensation with equity
  • Preventing production ML failures at scale
