Machine Learning Data Engineer

OPSWAT, a global leader in IT, OT, and ICS critical infrastructure cybersecurity, delivers an end-to-end platform that gives public and private sector organizations and enterprises the critical advantage needed to protect their complex networks, secure their devices, and ensure compliance. Over the last 20 years our commitment to innovative technology has earned the trust of more than 1,700 organizations, governments, and institutions globally, solidifying our role in protecting the world’s critical infrastructure and securing our way of life.

The Position

As a Machine Learning Engineer you will own the data foundation the team runs on: dataset pipelines, labeling workflows, and data quality. Model quality is bottlenecked by data quality; this role removes that bottleneck. We've had a strong presence in Veszprém for over a decade, and we're now expanding into Budapest, this role is based in our newly opening Budapest office, right at the start of that growth.

You Will Have the Opportunity to

• Build and maintain dataset ingestion, cleaning, and versioning pipelines (training, validation, and held-out evaluation sets)
• Design and operate labeling workflows, including quality control and inter-annotator agreement tracking
• Own dataset testing: coverage analysis, class balance, leakage detection, dataset documentation
• Manage dataset versioning and lineage so every model release traces back to exact training data
• Partner with data science and product engineering teams on data-sharing boundaries and formats

What We Are Looking For

• 3+ years data engineering experience; strong Python and SQL
• Experience with data versioning tools (DVC, LakeFS, or similar) and pipeline orchestration (Airflow, Dagster, or similar)
• Understanding of ML-specific data concerns: train/test leakage, label noise, distribution shift
• Rigor in documentation and reproducibility
