# Senior Machine Learning Engineer - Forecasting Platform > INAIT · Lausanne, Switzerland (Hybrid) · Full-time · Posted 2026-05-07 **Workplace:** hybrid ## Description ### About INAIT  INAIT is a Swiss deep-tech AI company headquartered in Lausanne, building on more than 20 years of scientific research to develop a differentiated class of artificial intelligence. We are now in commercialization-scaling mode, focused on AI forecasting, and accelerating our go-to-market through a strategic partnership with Microsoft that covers joint product development, co-selling, and Azure-based deployment.  ### About Future Complete  Future Complete is an API-first forecasting platform. We build self-service forecasting models that deliver rigorous predictions in fast-moving environments, across multiple verticals. We have run a series of successful proofs of value with target customers and are now in the pilot phase, finalising our product-market fit ahead of a significant scale-up. Our ambitions are high, and the next engineer we hire will have a lasting impact on the architecture and quality of the platform.  Our team is composed of software engineers, infrastructure engineers, and data scientists working closely together on a shared roadmap.  ### The Role You will be responsible for the long-term health, performance, and reliability of our forecasting libraries as we scale. The role is end-to-end: from the mathematical components inside the models to the user-facing functionality they enable.  This is a hybrid role based in Lausanne, Switzerland (2 days/week in office), or fully remote within Europe with working hours overlapping CET and occasional travel to Lausanne. Your responsibilities will include:  - Owning and evolving our forecasting libraries — the production Python codebase that runs simulations, time-series models, and probabilistic forecasts at scale.  - Designing for scale. Caching strategies, multi-threading, asynchronous pipelines, and memory-efficient simulations to ensure the platform performs reliably as load grows significantly.  - Building on Azure Machine Learning. Pipelines, compute, model registry, and deployment — Azure Machine Learning is the production platform our forecasting workloads run on.  - Working across the stack. Primarily backend, with frontend contributions when product requirements call for it.  - Partnering with our data scientists to translate research-grade models into reliable, production-ready components.  - Setting the technical bar for engineers we will hire as we scale — through code review, design, and the standards you establish.  - Contributing to the technical roadmap. As our product evolves, priorities will shift. We expect strong technical judgment and a willingness to adjust direction when the data supports it. ## Requirements We are seeking a versatile engineer with strong fundamentals, broad technical range, and the maturity to make sound trade-offs.  **Required experience:**  - 5+ years of software or ML engineering experience, including significant time maintaining a large production library or codebase.  - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field — or equivalent practical experience.  - Strong Python engineering skills, with a focus on code quality, testing, and maintainability.  - Experience designing and running simulations at scale.  - Solid understanding of caching and performance optimization, including practical experience debugging memory and performance issues.  - Working knowledge of Azure Machine Learning, or willingness to ramp on Azure ML quickly from a comparable cloud ML environment.  - Strong backend fundamentals: APIs, data pipelines, testing, and CI/CD.  - Sufficient frontend proficiency to ship small UI features independently.  - Effective use of AI development tools (e.g. Claude) as part of your daily workflow to accelerate development, review, and debugging.  - Strong communication skills in English, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders within the team.  **Mindset and ways of working:**  - Accountability. Ownership of outcomes, not only of tasks.  - End-to-end thinking. Awareness of how technical decisions affect the full product experience.  - Adaptability. Comfort operating in a product-market-fit phase where priorities evolve.  - Collaboration. A constructive, low-ego working style in a small senior team.  - Drive. A consistent willingness to go beyond the minimum requirement of the role.  **Nice to have:**  - Hands-on experience with forecasting and time-series models (classical, machine-learning-based, or both).  - Experience with multi-threading and concurrency, including debugging race conditions at scale.  - Experience in finance, energy, retail, or another domain where forecasting drives material business decisions.  - Open-source contributions to the scientific Python ecosystem (pandas, scikit-learn, statsmodels, etc.).  We welcome applications even if you do not meet every requirement listed above. We value range, judgment, and a strong drive to build — if the role excites you, we would like to hear from you. ## Benefits - Competitive compensation plus a performance bonus tied to the commercial outcomes we deliver as a company.  - Eligibility to our long-term incentive plan (phantom stock program) in a company at an inflection point.  - Hybrid working model for our Lausanne-based team (2 days per week in the office), or fully remote within Europe.  - Relocation package for candidates moving to Switzerland.  - Senior scope. Ownership of systems and decisions, not isolated tickets.  - A cohesive team. Engineering, infrastructure, and data science working as one group, with direct access to founders.  - Product-market fit phase and a clear scaling plan. The foundational work is done; the next phase is growth.  - Fresh fruit, snacks, and drinks at the office. ## Apply [Apply at INAIT](https://apply.workable.com/inaitsa/j/CA6D1510FA/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
