What this job asks for AI summary

This role at UPS involves designing, building, and deploying machine learning models and AI-powered software components to address business problems at production scale. The engineer will work across the full ML lifecycle — from transforming data science prototypes into scalable systems to integrating internal and external data sources — collaborating with business, product, and data science teams. It suits a candidate with hands-on ML engineering experience and a strong quantitative background.

Why we read it this way (7)

The role sits at the boundary between Data Scientist (15-2051) and Software Developer (15-1252): it emphasizes productionizing ML models, building scalable cloud components, and software engineering lifecycle practices as much as modeling itself.

No specific cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP) is named — the posting refers generically to 'Cloud-AI technologies' and 'cloud technology infrastructures'.

No overall years-of-experience figure is stated; seniority is assessed as Mid based on the scope described and the absence of explicit senior/lead framing.

The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in a quantitative field OR equivalent job experience; because the posting accepts equivalent experience as a substitute, the degree requirement is set to None per extraction rules — however, the posting does explicitly name a Bachelor's as the baseline credential.

No compensation range is provided.

The posting states the position is on-site in Atlanta, GA with no relocation assistance and no visa sponsorship.

Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): model optimization, batch/streaming prediction serving.
