If you believe in business as the greatest platform for change and in companies doing well and doing good - you've come to the right place.JD - Senior Staff ML Modeling is looking for a Senior Staff Machine Learning Engineer to craft and implement ML and generative AI powered features that leverage our data to make a fabulous, robust, safe, and valuable product for our users. Our team has built out robust functionality spanning LLM deployment, evaluation, monitoring and quality improvements. We are looking for an expert engineer who has worked in the development of both traditional ML and more recent generative AI solutions to help guide the architecture and development of AI.
What you will
do:Brainstorm with Product Managers, Designers and Engineers to conceptualize and build new features for our large (and growing!) user base.Produce high-quality results by leading or contributing heavily to large multi-functional projects that have a significant impact on the business.Help other engineers actively own features or systems and define their long-term health, while also improving the health of surrounding systems.Collaborate with peers across Engineering to triage bugs and troubleshoot sophisticated production issues across the stack.Mentor other engineers and deeply review code.Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes.Design and deliver scalable RAG services that can be integrated with numerous applications, support thousands of tenants, and operate at scale in production.Drive system efficiencies through automation, including capacity planning, configuration management, performance tuning, monitoring, and root cause analysis.Participate in periodic on-call rotations and be available to resolve critical issues.Collaborate with Product Managers, Application Architects, Data Scientists, and Deep Learning Researchers to understand customer requirements, design prototypes, and bring innovative technologies to production.Engage in light-hearted yet thought-provoking conversations with your team around fun topics, such as: Should the popularity of penguins influence conservation efforts?
