TL;DR · Senior Machine Learning Engineer

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer (IC5) on the Agentic AI team at Robinhood, you will lead the design and evolution of agentic systems that power intelligent customer experiences across various products. You will define technical direction for evaluating autonomous agents, including reasoning quality, planning, tool selection, memory, task completion, safety, latency, and user experience. Your responsibilities include designing scalable evaluation frameworks using automated evaluations, benchmark datasets, LLM-as-a-Judge techniques, and human feedback to continuously improve agent performance. Additionally, you will drive model selection and optimization across frontier foundation models, fine-tuned models, retrieval systems, and tool-using agents while partnering with Product, Data Science, and Engineering teams to establish launch criteria and quality standards for production agentic systems. This role requires significant experience in building and deploying AI systems powered by large language models, understanding of modern agent architectures, and expertise in evaluating frontier foundation models. Strong software engineering skills and proven technical leadership are essential.

What you'll do

  • Lead the design and evolution of agentic AI systems for intelligent customer experiences.
  • Define technical direction for evaluating autonomous agents, focusing on quality, safety, latency, and user satisfaction.
  • Design scalable evaluation frameworks using automated evals, benchmark datasets, and human feedback to improve agent performance.
  • Drive model selection and optimization across various models, balancing quality, cost, and reliability.
  • Partner with Product, Data Science, and Engineering teams to establish launch criteria and success metrics for agentic systems.

What we're looking for

  • Significant experience building and deploying production AI systems with large language models.
  • Deep understanding of modern agent architectures, including tool calling, planning, memory, and retrieval-augmented generation.
  • Experience designing evaluation frameworks for agentic AI using automated evals, benchmark datasets, and human feedback.
  • Strong ability to evaluate frontier foundation models across quality, latency, safety, cost, robustness, and production readiness.
  • Proven technical leadership in architecture design, mentorship, and influencing engineering direction across teams.
