Machine Learning Engineer

Flybridge Staffing is currently seeking a Senior Analytics Engineer, Applied AI, to join a reputable organization in the Boca Raton Area. (Hybrid onsite preferred) Position Summary: The analytics engineer role is evolving to a practitioner who harnesses AI-powered tools and platforms to solve a broader range of problems, at greater speed, with higher quality, and across more of the business than ever before. Our Analytics team is looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer who embodies this evolution. You’ll bring a strong statistical and machine learning foundation, but what sets you apart is how you apply it: leveraging AI platforms, generative AI, automated ML, coding copilots, and emerging tools to compress development cycles, explore previously unfeasible problems, and deliver intelligence across the full breadth of what our Analytics team supports. This is a hands-on, high-impact role within a centralized Analytics team that works at the center of the business. Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, data science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.6+ years of professional experience in applied analytics, or a hybrid data science/engineering role.Demonstrated ability and enthusiasm for adopting new AI tools, platforms, and workflows to improve speed and quality of analytical work.Strong foundation in statistical methods and machine learning techniques: regression, classification, clustering, time-series analysis, hypothesis testing, and experimental design.Proficiency in Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, matplotlib/seaborn) and SQL for data manipulation, analysis, and modeling.Hands-on experience with cloud-based analytics platforms—preferably Azure Databricks—including notebook-based development and working with large-scale data.Experience building data pipelines or feature engineering workflows that support model development (not just consuming pre-built datasets). Preferred Qualifications: Experience using generative AI tools (LLMs, AI coding assistants, AI-powered analytics platforms) as part of a professional analytics workflow—not just experimentation.Experience with Claude Enterprise.Familiarity with PySpark and distributed computing for large-scale data transformation and feature engineering.Working knowledge of Salesforce data structures, CRM analytics, or marketing/sales funnel analysis.Exposure to Power BI or similar visualization tools from a data integration or model-output delivery perspective.Experience with healthcare data, HIPAA-regulated environments, or member/patient-level analytics.Background in NLP, text analytics, or working with unstructured data sources.Analytics engineer who has embraced the AI era—you don’t just know how to build a model from scratch, you know when to let an AI tool do it faster and focus your energy on the problem framing, validation, and business impact.Equally comfortable writing a PySpark transformation, training a classification model, prompting an LLM for document extraction, and presenting findings to the Executive. Key Responsibilities Solve Problems Across Business Using AI-Augmented Analytics Develop predictive models, scoring engines, segmentation frameworks, and forecasting solutions that address real business needs—member retention, physician conversion, sales pipeline optimization, pricing analysis, and more.Use AI platforms and tools to dramatically accelerate the analytics lifecycle: automated feature engineering, AI-assisted EDA, model selection, and rapid prototyping that would have taken weeks using traditional approaches.Design analytical frameworks that translate ambiguous business questions into testable hypotheses and measurable outcomes.Deliver model outputs in formats the business can act on—integrated into Power BI dashboards, embedded in operational workflows, or surfaced as actionable recommendations to leadership.
