Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Company Snapshot
An early-stage AI company building a next-generation personal assistant designed to handle everyday tasks — communication, scheduling, organizing, follow-ups — with little to no user input required. The core engineering challenge is reliability: getting AI systems to execute multi-step, long-running workflows consistently, even when the underlying models behave unpredictably. The product aims to meaningfully cut down the time people spend on daily admin and coordination.

The Role
A senior, individual-contributor ML engineering position with full ownership of key production ML systems. This person will take vague, open-ended problems and turn them into working, scalable solutions — not a research-only role, but one grounded in shipping and maintaining live systems.

What You'll Do

• Design and build the ML infrastructure behind a long-running, proactive AI product
• Own the full lifecycle — data, training, evaluation, inference, deployment, and ongoing tuning
• Convert experimental/research concepts into dependable production systems
• Diagnose and fix model and pipeline issues using live production data
• Work in fast iteration cycles — release, measure, adjust, repeat
• Partner closely with research, product, and engineering counterparts
• Provide technical mentorship and code/design review to other ML engineers
• Balance competing constraints: latency, infrastructure cost, reliability, and safety

Stack
Python, PyTorch/JAX, GPU-based training and inference infrastructure

What We're Looking For

• Track record of shipping ML systems that real users depend on
• Strong intuition for how ML models fail in the real world, not just in theory
• Systems-level thinking, not just scripting — clean, production-grade code
• High autonomy — comfortable owning problems without close direction
• Fast learner, clear communicator, iterates well on feedback

Success Looks Like

• Production ML systems hitting targets for accuracy, latency, cost, and reliability
• Fast diagnosis and resolution of production issues, minimal user-facing disruption
• Pipelines (training/inference/data) that scale and hold up over time
• Visible, measurable improvements driven by real usage data
• Peers leveling up through your review and mentorship
• ML work integrating smoothly into the broader product

Team Culture
Small, high-caliber team, flat decision-making, fast pace. Expect autonomy and structure to coexist — you're trusted to self-direct, but expected to bring rigor.
