Role Overview Reporting to the VP of Data and Machine Learning Platform, the Staff Platform Engineer, Data & ML is responsible for defining and scaling the unified platform that powers the full data and ML lifecycle at Mistplay - from raw ingestion to real‑time model serving.
This role is not about modeling or analysis - it is about owning the data and ML platform as a single, cohesive system at scale. You will set technical direction across the entire lifecycle, own critical platform components end‑to‑end, and establish best practices that enable data and models to move from experimentation to real‑time business impact with speed and trust.
You will operate as a technical leader across teams, partnering with Data Science, Data Engineering, and Backend to reduce decision latency, increase throughput across both analytical and ML workloads, and improve data trust from ingestion through inference.
