AMLZ Recruiting is the executive search brand of AMLZ GmbH, headquartered in Wiesbaden, Germany. We specialize in placing exceptional professionals and executives with leading companies worldwide. Backed by a global network and deep industry expertise, we connect top talent with innovative organizations across a wide range of sectors.


Our client is a globally recognized technology company near Shanghai, China, building reliable, production-grade AI and decision systems across multiple industries. Cross-functional teams in research, data, and engineering collaborate on scalable platforms that turn advanced algorithms into tangible business impact.


This role starts in March 2026 with a remote-first arrangement. The first three months will be remote to align objectives, workflows, and milestones. As projects progress, short, fully sponsored on-site sessions in China may be arranged by mutual agreement for activities such as workshops, pilot runs, or production trials. Compensation is competitive, with additional allowances for any agreed on-site participation.


Key Responsibilities

• Develop and analyze ML and optimization models for real-world applications.

• Build and evaluate algorithms for prediction, decision-making, and resource allocation.

• Design clear experiments and metrics; interpret results and iterate based on data.

• Work with engineering to turn models into reliable, scalable systems (pipelines, testing, monitoring).

• Prepare concise technical documentation and share findings with cross-functional partners.


Your Profile

• Ideally holding a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence/Data Science, IT (or related field), or equivalent industry experience.

• Ideally 3+ years of relevant R&D experience in AI/ML, computer vision, data-driven product development or advanced analytics (industry or research).

• Proficient in Python; C++ experience is a plus where performance or edge deployment matters.

• Hands-on with TensorFlow or PyTorch; familiarity with data pipelines (e.g., Spark) is a plus.

• Solid foundations in mathematics and algorithm design (probability, statistics, optimization, linear algebra).

• English is the working language; additional languages are a plus.


We Offer

• Very competitive salary package and comprehensive benefits.

• Remote-first working model with optional short on-site exchanges by mutual agreement.

• Housing and family allowances available when on-site work is arranged.

• Access to cutting-edge tools and real-world, high-impact applications.

• Dynamic and innovative environment with clear growth opportunities.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
