None. You can be a productive ML engineer without understanding the math. Many elitist engineers here will downvote me, but its true. ML libraries that allow you to quickly get productive have come a long way. BUT, you have to have a solid understanding of WHICH algorithms/tools to use WHEN. There is also a lot of "voodoo" knowledge to gain that isn't well documented or explained (unrelated to maths).
