  • Lead the technical execution of key projects involving classical ML, deep learning, and generative AI technologies (e.g., LLMs, multimodal models)
  • Collaborate closely with product, data science, and infrastructure teams to develop AI solutions from ideation through production deployment
  • Contribute to and influence the technical direction for Applied AI, particularly around system design, model architecture, and infrastructure decisions
  • Champion engineering best practices in ML development — including experimentation workflows, model versioning, evaluation, monitoring, and responsible AI
  • Provide mentorship to engineers on the team and across partner orgs to help raise the technical bar

Requirements

  • 10+ years of industry experience in machine learning or software engineering, with a proven record of delivering ML solutions to production
  • Strong knowledge of machine learning, deep learning, and exposure to generative AI techniques (e.g., transformers, LLMs, diffusion)
  • Experience designing and scaling ML systems or platforms, including training pipelines, serving infrastructure, and model lifecycle tooling
  • Fluency in ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX) and development in Python and/or scalable backend languages (e.g., Java, Go)
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills with the ability to work across teams and functions

Nice to have

  • PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field
  • Hands-on experience integrating LLMs or generative models into product experiences (e.g., summarization, personalization, automation)
