About the role
- Role Overview We are hiring an Associate AI / Machine Learning Engineer (Proof of Concept) to design and deliver hands-on AI/ML experiments using MySQL HeatWave and HeatWave ML. This early-career role is ideal for new graduates or technologists with a foundation in SQL and programming, basic ML knowledge, and a strong desire to learn; you will work with real operational data and be mentored by internal engineers and partners (Oracle, Domo) to produce reproducible, demo-ready POCs that generate actionable predictions and insights. Key Responsibilities POC Design and Delivery Build an end-to-end ML proof of concept in MySQL HeatWave covering data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and inference. In-Database Modeling Leverage HeatWave ML where appropriate and evaluate tradeoffs between in-database and external model workflows. Integration and Automation Develop lightweight Python and/or PHP scripts or services to automate data flows, run experiments, and serve inference results. Feature Engineering and Evaluation Explore datasets, create features, compare model approaches for regression, classification, and forecasting, and produce clear evaluation metrics. Partner Collaboration Work closely with Oracle, Domo, and internal subject matter experts to absorb best practices and translate them into repeatable implementations. Documentation and Communication Produce architecture diagrams, assumptions, limitations, evaluation results, and an executive summary that communicates business impact. Productionization Roadmap Deliver a pragmatic recommendation for next steps including cost estimates, scalability considerations, security and compliance risks, and a prioritized implementation plan.
