Job Description:
About the Role:

As Senior Machine Learning Engineer in the AI & ML foundations team, you will design and build the core systems behind our LLM applications: the orchestration layer, the reusable tooling and the evaluation harness that keeps it trustworthy in production.

You Will:
  • Design and build the orchestration, prompting, and workflow layers behind production AI features

  • Create composable tools and integrations, including retrieval and MCP servers and clients

  • Build evaluators, dashboards, and alerts that track accuracy, latency, cost, and hallucination

  • Harden the platform for production scale: caching, reliability, incidents, and model rollbacks

  • Set the technical bar through architecture decisions, design reviews, and mentoring

You Have:
  • At least 2+ years9 experience in software/ML engineering - which includes at least 1 years9 experience building LLM systems in production

  • Expert Python, hands on with LLM APIs and cloud platforms (AWS, Snowflake, Vertex)

  • Deep experience orchestrating multistep LLM workflows as execution graphs (e.g. LangChain/LangGraph).

  • Experience building agent harnesses: memory compression, skill disclosure, and tool design

  • Strong prompt engineering: tuning, versioning, and evaluation of prompts and model configs

  • A proven track record in AI evaluation, observability, and retrieval over enterprise data

  • Ability to explain complex AI concepts and tradeoffs clearly to nontechnical stakeholders

  • Fluency with agentic coding tools (e.g. Claude Code) and their architecture patterns (a strong plus)
