We are looking for an ML Platform Engineer to help us further develop our world-leading products!

About the position

We are looking for an ML Platform Engineer to join our Research and Development department at Squarehead Technology. In this role, you will bridge the gap between data science and software engineering by designing, building, and maintaining scalable machine learning systems to train and evaluate the models. You will also help develop the tools and infrastructure that make models robust, efficient, and production-ready.

You will be working closely with a team of scientists with expertise in signal processing, array technology, audio event detection and tracking, classification, and data science. The position offers an opportunity to work in a collaborative environment where machine learning and signal processing come together in solving real-life engineering problems.

Responsibilities:

• Data pipeline development: Design, build, and maintain scalable ETL pipelines and feature stores to ingest, clean, and enrich large datasets for training and inference.

• MLOps orchestration: Define and manage end-to-end CI/CD workflows for model training, validation, packaging, and tooling deployment in cloud environments.

• Cloud provisioning: Use Terraform to provision and manage networking, data lakes, security, and compute resources (optimise for cost and performance)

• Tooling & monitoring: Develop internal libraries, tooling, and monitoring to allow data exploration, model comparison, and live training monitoring

About you

Personality & Interests

• Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on experience with Docker, Terraform, CI/CD, and at least one major cloud provider (GCP, AWS or Azure)

• Observability & Reliability: Knowledge of monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK), logging frameworks

• Deep-learning frameworks: Proficiency in TensorFlow and/or PyTorch

• System Design: Ability to architect and develop complex, integrated systems that combine diverse technical domains.

Workplace & Benefits

• Office location in Nydalen, Oslo, with easy access to the subway

• Flexibility on partly remote work by agreement

• Staff canteen with subsidised lunch

• Organised social and sports activities (Paddel-Tennis in 2025)

Practical

We review applications and invite candidates for interviews on an ongoing basis, so if you are interested in the position, we recommend that you apply quickly.

We work with partners who require confidentiality and have security requirements that we must ensure our employees can comply with. This position may require security clearance.

Squarehead Technology,
who celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2024, is a global leader in directional microphone technology. The company was founded by three physics students at the University of Oslo who were intrigued by underwater sound waves. They came up with the idea of a microphone capable of separating intelligible sound from noise. Two decades later, Squarehead has grown into a team of 60 employees who develop, design, manufacture, and sell advanced microphone arrays.

Through the “digitalization of human hearing”, we enhance situational awareness in industrial and security sectors. Our solutions—ranging from drone detection and condition monitoring to quality control—play a vital role in safeguarding critical infrastructure and assets.

Squarehead is headquartered in central Nydalen, Oslo, with a subsidiary in the United States and sales representatives stationed across the globe. All development and production take place in Nydalen, fostering a dynamic and collaborative work environment. Being close to the final products means that challenges are solved together, across disciplines and expertise. At Squarehead, you witness the full impact of your work—from idea to implementation—and the difference it makes in the world.
