San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 1/3/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/1/2026
This company is hiring a full-time ML // AI Engineer to work on-site in San Francisco, building production machine learning systems for large enterprise customers. The work sits at the intersection of applied ML, NLP, LLMs, and real-world systems engineering, using Python to process unstructured signals like OCR output, application metadata, and behavioral telemetry at scale.

  • Experience designing evaluation frameworks, including ground truth creation, A/B testing, and accuracy analysis
  • Production ML experience: deployment, monitoring, and performance tuning
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity and unexplored technical terrain

Desired Skills & Experience

  • Experience with hybrid ML and rule-based architecture
  • Background in OCR, document intelligence, or computer vision
  • Proven approaches to cost control in LLM-centric systems
  • Experience with PyTorch or similar frameworks
  • Familiarity with process mining or workflow analytics
