I’m currently getting my masters in AI (lots of ML) and as a SWE, it’s definitely a new muscle I’m growing. At the same time, I can think about MLE in isolation and how it fits within the larger discipline of SWE. How I can build robust pipelines, integrate models into applications, deploy models within larger clusters, etc. I think there are many individuals which are pure MLE and lack the SWE perspective. Most critically, lots of ML people in my program aren’t computer people. They are math people or scientists first. They can grok the ML but grokking SWE without computer affinity is difficult. I see true full-stack being an understanding of low-level systems, back-front architecture, deployment, and now MLE. Just need to find someone who will compensate me for bringing all that to the table. Most postings are still either for SWE or PhD in MLE. Give me money!! I know it all
