  • 12+ years of experience designing, building, and deploying large-scale machine learning systems in production.
  • Experience architecting end-to-end ML platforms covering data pipelines, distributed training, model evaluation, and low-latency inference serving.
  • Experience resolving complex cross-system ML failures involving model quality, training stability, feature consistency, and serving correctness.
  • Experience defining technical strategy and gaining alignment across multiple engineering teams and stakeholders.
  • Experience communicating complex ML system designs and trade-offs to technical and non-technical audiences, including executives.
  • Preferred: experience building AI-native developer tooling or automation that accelerates ML experimentation and deployment.
  • Preferred: experience applying ML across ranking and recommendation, generative AI, computer vision, or natural language understanding.
  • Preferred: industry-recognized contributions such as publications, open-source frameworks, or widely adopted architectural patterns.
  • Preferred: experience implementing responsible and ethical AI practices, including risk assessment, bias mitigation, and quality reviews.
  • Preferred: ongoing AI skill development in areas such as prompt/context engineering and agent orchestration.
  • Preferred: experience with large-scale foundation model training, fine-tuning, or inference optimization across distributed hardware clusters.

Benefits

  • Bonus, equity, and benefits are offered in addition to base salary.
