Ideal starting points for aspiring MLEs or more advanced MLEs that wish to deep dive into specific subjects.
Following the boom of data and AI, one of the biggest challenges companies face is moving from early-stage concepts to robust applications that can actually deliver value in production. Solving this challenge requires having people that combine strong engineering skills with a keen affinity for machine learning: machine learning engineers (MLEs). However, with the explosion in available ML technologies and frameworks, becoming an MLE is far from trivial. That’s why we’ve designed several MLE learning journeys that focus on key concepts and core technologies, providing ideal starting points for aspiring MLEs or more advanced MLEs that wish to deep dive into specific subjects.
Machine Learning Engineering Learning Journeys
Machine Learning Engineering Learning Journeys
How do you become a machine learning engineer? Start here! We’ve put together a carefully crafted learning journey for data engineers. Knowing engineers love to figure things out on their own, we packed the program with opportunities to learn, hands-on, by solving real-life situations. Plus, there’s plenty of practical philosophy, too.
Focusing on the fundamentals, we’ll teach you how to build well-structured, production-ready ML applications in Python and how to run these using Docker and basic cloud services. Moving towards more advanced topics, we’ll dive deeper into how to use MLOps practices to automatically deploy and retrain ML applications in the Cloud and on Kubernetes, using CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code to make sure our full stack is reproducible. Finally, in our specializations we do deep dives into specific technologies such as Airflow, DBT, Spark, etc. to make you the go-to expert in these powerful tools.

How many times have you heard the word “container” during an IT conversation? Exactly! And that’s because containerised solutions are here to stay. But what are containers? How do we build them? - Google Cloud Platform Fundamentals: Big Data & Machine Learning Training / 1-day – Public & In-Company
You will learn to process Big Data at scale for analytics and Machine Learning. You will explore the fundamentals of building new machine learning models and creating streaming data pipelines and dashboards.
Learning Journey
Advanced Machine Learning Engineering
Learning Goals for the Advanced Machine Learning Engineering Learning Journey
- Design, build and deploy robust end-to-end ML solutions
- Implement ML patterns and MLOps strategies on Kubernetes or the Cloud
- Manage and deploy infrastructure-as-code using Terraform
Training Courses
- Kubernetes / 1 day – Public & In-Company
How many times have you heard the word “container” during an IT conversation? Exactly! And that’s because containerised solutions are here to stay. How do we place our solutions in Docker containers? And, most importantly: how do we run them? - MLOps / 2-day – Public & In-Company
After building a robust local solution for your ML model, one of the biggest challenges is to actually get it running in a production environment. In this training, we’ll dive deeper into the concepts of MLOps and how these can be applied in practice to move your models beyond the laptop. With hands-on exercises, we’ll explore the full life cycle of exposing your model to end-users as an API, monitoring their performance and automatically retraining models with ML pipelines.
- Data Science with Spark Training / 3-days – Public & In-Company
Apache Spark is a powerful, open-source processing engine built around speed, ease of use, and advanced analytics. In this course, you will learn to unlock its full potential and master this challenging tool.
Specializations in Machine Learning Engineering
