Machine Learning Architect

We are currently looking for a senior consultant, a Machine Learning Architect, to join our Data Science & Analytics business cell in Finland.

At Solita Data Science & Analytics community, we support our clients during their whole AI & Analytics journey – from the very beginning of ideation all the way to scaling the utilization of AI & Analytics across the organisation. We also take a holistic view to business problems, and see that in addition to technical skills, for instance consulting skills and design thinking methods are crucial to identify the problems worth solving – and how best to solve them. In cross-functional teams we develop solutions that harness the potential of AI & analytics technologies, generate value for the end users, and deliver sustainable business impact for the clients.

What does a Machine Learning Architect do?
As a Machine Learning (ML) Architect you will map the current state of AI solutions and related data & analytics capabilities of our customers. You will help them to outline future goals, to identify opportunities ahead, and to create a concrete roadmap to achieve them. Most importantly, you design and build production-grade AI solutions and platforms, where machine learning models are run, e.g. utilizing the capacity and services offered by cloud vendors, and create the best possible conditions for utilizing machine learning models and algorithms in the daily lives of our customers. In projects, you are one of the leading experts and your closest colleagues include Data Scientists, ML Engineers, and AI Service Designers or Strategists. As a senior expert, you also participate in the asset, ways of working, and offering development of Solita.

At Solita, we want to work with our customers to implement solutions that actually end up in use, thus providing real added value for our customers and end users. No matter how excellent the machine learning model, no one is happy about it if its results are hard to interpret or complicated to use. As a Machine Learning Architect you are in a key position to help our customers to get the most out of machine learning & AI. Learn here more about the daily work of our Machine Learning Architect Jokke.

Solita employs several dozen professionals in data science & ML engineering who work on domestic and international projects in Finland and the Nordic countries. Our professionals work as in-depth experts in their respective fields in various customer projects, e.g. in the Omaolo service team or at KONE.
