The Senior ML Engineer will work closely with data engineers, product managers, application developers, UI/UX designers, and other stakeholders to create scalable, high-performance, reliable, and secure SaaS applications. The ideal candidate is passionate about solving problems, influencing strategic thinking, and mentoring others within the team.
Reporting to the Engineering Director, this engineer’s key responsibilities are:
- Design and implement end-to-end AI systems and ML pipelines, creating a scalable framework that powers iterative R&D workflows.
- Orchestrate multi-model decision workflows and implement efficient agent handoff systems that optimize for both performance and user experience.
- Design human-in-the-loop interactions allowing AI agents to collaborate effectively with content marketers, incorporate feedback, and refine workflows autonomously.
- Optimize AI models for efficiency, interpretability, and real-world performance in enterprise environments.
- Define AI evaluation frameworks and metrics to ensure continuous improvement of models and systems.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to unlock insights, innovation, and intelligence in our applications.
- Stay current with state-of-the-art techniques in AI/ML and apply this knowledge to our architectures.

- LLM architectures (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini)
- Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and vector database (Milvus) optimizations
- Multi-agent AI architectures and agentic frameworks
- Experience with model evaluation, including designing self-assessment prompts and implementing performance dashboards using relevant metrics (confidence and perplexity scores, win-rate comparisons between model versions, etc.).
- Proficiency with traditional ML technologies (PyTorch, TensorFlow, AWS SageMaker, MLflow) and strong Python coding skills.
- Experience with cloud technologies, particularly in data processing and distributed systems. Knowledge of AWS technologies is a plus.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Solution-oriented approach using rapid prototyping, experimentation, and iterative development.
- Self-directed, proactive, and comfortable working across organizational stacks, taking ownership of end-to-end problem-solving in a fast-paced environment.
