Malte Ebner is a Senior ML Data Engineer based in Zurich with nine years of experience building large-scale data pipelines and dataset infrastructure for machine learning applications. He has advanced from internships and cooperative study roles at Bosch and VAY to shaping ML data tooling at Lightly, where he progressed from ML Data Engineer to Senior ML Data Engineer. Malte blends back-end engineering with practical dataset work—contributing to the open-source lightly library by improving docs, adding features like timestamped video-frame downloads, S3 support and CLI integrations. His background in mechatronics, robotics and communications engineering (DHBW Stuttgart, University of Stuttgart, ETH Zürich) gives him a systems-level perspective on data, models and production concerns. Colleagues describe him as detail-oriented and documentation-minded, regularly turning subtle bugs and UX rough edges into reliable developer-facing features.
