About the Role
The FOX Forward Deployed program is a 12-month rotational program for early-career machine learning engineers. Participants will embed within AI-focused teams supporting streaming, sports, news, monetization, and enterprise data systems, contributing directly to production ML systems at national scale. Models must ship and systems must scale.
Responsibilities
- Rotate across two ML-focused teams embedded within operating business units
- Build, train, evaluate, and deploy production machine learning models
- Work with large-scale, real-world datasets and live data streams
- Integrate models into consumer-facing and enterprise systems
- Monitor performance, detect drift, and iterate based on measurable outcomes
- Operate under real constraints around latency, reliability, and scale
Requirements
- Strong foundations in machine learning, statistics, or applied data science
- Experience building and evaluating models through coursework, research, projects, internships
- Proficiency in Python and common ML frameworks
- Demonstrated use of AI-assisted tools to accelerate ML workflows
- Ability to explain how you validated model quality using metrics, bias checks, reproducibility controls
- Curiosity about how models behave in production environments
- Bias toward experimentation and measurable outcomes
- Regular, on-site attendance at the workplace a minimum of 3 days per week is an essential function of the position.
- Selected candidate must be able to reliably meet this requirement.
- Participants are expected to operate as contributing ML engineers from day one.
