- Develop agent memory, knowledge graph, and customization tools to help systems adapt to different workflows.
- Train, evaluate, and deploy models for prediction, classification, ranking, and capacity forecasting.
- Create offline and online evaluations, simulations, and CI checks to detect regressions and measure production quality.
- Build shared ML and LLM infrastructure for model serving, evaluation, observability, and product development.
- Monitor and maintain production models and agents, and improve them based on measured results.
- Contribute to technical reviews, documentation, and mentorship across engineering teams.
What We're Looking For
- At least 6 years of software or machine learning engineering experience, including a track record of shipping and operating ML or LLM systems in production.

- Hands-on experience training and deploying ML models, or building LLM systems with prompting, tool use, agents, or retrieval.
- Experience with evaluation frameworks, simulations, production monitoring, or ML platform tooling.
- Familiarity with tools such as Ray Serve, Dagster, LiveKit, Vertex AI, GCP, Kubernetes, Pulumi, and AI provider APIs.
- Comfort taking ownership from problem definition through production, working with ambiguity, and supporting teammates through reviews and mentorship.
