Job description

About ZELPZELP is an agricultural technology company committed to creating a sustainable future for agriculture – one that meets the needs of present and future generations, promoting human and environmental health, animal welfare, and social and economic equity.Our first focus is to develop and scale technology that measures and mitigates methane emissions in the livestock industry. Today, 1.3 billion people rely on the industry for their livelihoods and food security. However, it is the single biggest human-driven source of methane emissions globally, emitting more than both the oil & gas industry and the coal industry.The deployment of our technologies on a global scale has the potential to drive half the global methane reduction needed by 2030 , and to greatly transform the beef and dairy industries.ZELP was an inaugural winner of the Terra Carta Design Lab, and has received funding and support from the European Commission, Innovate UK, The Global Methane Hub and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.About the roleZELP is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Machine Learning Engineer to join our growing team. The ideal candidate will possess a strong engineering foundation with expertise in designing, building, and deploying machine learning models and scalable data pipelines. This role requires a strong understanding of data analysis, machine learning, and software engineering principles, coupled with excellent communication and collaboration skills. The Machine Learning Engineer will be crucial in developing and implementing machine learning solutions that address critical business challenges and contribute to our innovative technology.Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with stakeholders to understand business needs and translate them into scalable machine learning solutions.
• Design, implement, and maintain robust and efficient data pipelines for collecting, cleaning, transforming, and preparing large datasets.
• Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) to understand data characteristics and inform feature engineering.
• Develop, implement, and deploy advanced statistical and machine learning models to solve business problems, including forecasting, segmentation, optimization, and predictive modelling, with a focus on scalability and production readiness.
• Conduct rigorous evaluation of model performance and ensure the reliability and stability of deployed models.
