Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Summary

Build and scale core ML infrastructure and systems, turning research models into production-ready services while ensuring reliability and performance for user-facing AI features.

We are seeking a Senior Member of Technical Staff – Machine Learning to drive the development of our core ML infrastructure and subsystems. In this role, you will lead end-to-end execution—from translating ambiguous requirements into practical designs to shipping scalable systems into production. This is a hands-on position requiring deep technical expertise and strong systems-level thinking.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architect, deploy, and maintain core ML systems powering long-horizon AI features.

  • Manage the full ML lifecycle, including data pipelines, model training, evaluation, inference, and continuous deployment.

  • Convert experimental research models into resilient, production-ready microservices.

  • Monitor, debug, and resolve complex production anomalies within strict latency, cost, and safety constraints.

  • Work cross-functionally with Research, Product, and Platform teams to deliver user-facing value.

  • Provide technical guidance, architectural oversight, and mentorship to junior and mid-level ML engineers.
