- QUOTE: ... To say that a machine learning engineer’s job is similar to a computer programmer is a dichotomy. While performing programming to an extent, a machine learning engineer’s task is to develop the machine to perform tasks without being explicitly told.
Computer programming takes rules and data, and then turning them into solutions. Meanwhile, machine learning takes solutions and data, and then turning them into rules. Furthermore, computer programming can develop a general-use calculator, while machine learning can develop one for a specific niche.
Machine learning engineers work closely with data scientists and software engineers. They create control models using data that are derived from the models defined by data scientists, allowing the machine to understand commands. From there, the software engineer designs the user interface from which the machine will operate.
The final product is software, like cnvrg MLOps, combining best practices from DevOps, software development and I.T. operations, and machine learning engineering. Organizations tend to spend more on infrastructure development when a machine learning-ready software can provide a precise estimate on how much they need. ...

- QUOTE: At the center of any machine learning project lie the machine learning engineers. With backgrounds and skills in data science, applied research and heavy-duty coding, they run the operations of a machine learning project and are responsible for managing the infrastructure and data pipelines needed to bring code to production. Explains eBay VP of engineering Japjit Tulsi, machine learning engineers must be able to “straddle the line between knowing the mathematics and coding the mathematics.”
