TL;DR · Lead Machine Learning Engineer

The Lead Machine Learning Engineer joins an Agile team to productionize Generative AI and advanced agentic systems at scale. You will lead the technical design, development, and implementation of core agentic architectures and multi-agent workflows while ensuring high availability, performance, and security. Key responsibilities include architecting agentic platforms, building scalable evaluation and observability frameworks, and deploying production AI solutions like recommendation engines and conversational assistants. You must enforce enterprise guardrails regarding data privacy and regulatory postures. The role requires proficiency in Python, Scala, or Java, along with experience in distributed computing and ML frameworks like PyTorch, Spark, or TensorFlow. You will utilize GenAI frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, and LlamaIndex, alongside Vector Databases, to solve complex problems in retrieval-augmented generation and LLM optimization.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and scale core agentic engines and multi-agent workflow solutions.
  • Build and integrate scalable evaluation and observability frameworks to ensure model predictability.
  • Deploy production AI solutions including consumer experiences, recommendation engines, and conversational assistants.
  • Ensure all AI/ML applications adhere to data privacy standards and regulatory auditability.
  • Apply LLM optimization, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and multi-agent design patterns to production systems.
  • Provide technical direction, architectural oversight, and rigorous code reviews for engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • At least 6 years of experience designing and building data-intensive solutions using distributed computing.
  • At least 4 years of experience programming with Python, Scala, or Java.
  • Master's or doctoral degree in computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, or a similar field (preferred).
  • 3+ years of experience with GenAI frameworks and Vector Databases (preferred).
  • 3 years of experience building, scaling, and optimizing LLM or GenAI orchestration systems in production (preferred).
  • 2+ years of experience building automated evaluations and observability pipelines for LLMs (preferred).
  • 3+ years of on-the-job experience with an industry-recognized ML framework such as scikit-learn, PyTorch, Dask, Spark, or TensorFlow (preferred).
