The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Big Lots is hiring a Machine Learning Engineer in Youngstown, OH.

• Role description

  We're hiring a Machine Learning Engineer who treats latency budgets like personal grudges and Customer Service like a second language. Take stock: $40,000 - $66,000, remote, 1 years of Computer Vision, and a junior title that grows teeth as you prove yourself.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Lead technical design reviews for junior technology initiatives
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
  • Own the trust-the-team Customer Service subsystem that the rest of Big Lots quietly depends on
  • Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
  • Ship MLflow fixes to Big Lots customers in Youngstown, OH the same day they report them
  • Catch the generously-mentoring Computer Vision regression in staging before it ever reaches Youngstown customers

  What You'll Bring

  • Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through
  • Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
  • 1 years of Computer Vision práctica, plus a hunger for what's next
  • The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
  • A team-oriented attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, empathy-led environment
  • Prior experience working on-site in Youngstown, OH, or willingness to relocate

  At Big Lots, our mission is to make technology simpler, faster, and more accessible for everyone in Youngstown, OH and beyond. Our OH crew runs on candor, caffeine, and a stubborn refusal to ship sloppy work.

  Here the offer compounds, $40,000 - $66,000 now, mentorship next, benefits throughout, and flexible Youngstown, OH hours for the long haul.

  The Youngstown, OH office is bringing people on this season, and this is one of those roles.

  Bring your Written Communication, your questions, and your ambition; we'll bring the rest at Big Lots.
