About the Role:

As Senior Machine Learning Engineer in the AI & ML foundations team, you will design and build the core systems behind our LLM applications: the orchestration layer, the reusable tooling and the evaluation harness that keeps it trustworthy in production. In this role, you will not be applying AI research or model training - but to real problems in production. You will report to the Director, Data Science & Insights.

You Will:

• Design and build the orchestration, prompting, and workflow layers behind production AI features

• Create composable tools and integrations, including retrieval and MCP servers and clients

• Build evaluators, dashboards, and alerts that track accuracy, latency, cost, and hallucination

• Harden the platform for production scale: caching, reliability, incidents, and model rollbacks

• Set the technical bar through architecture decisions, design reviews, and mentoring

You Have:

• At least 2 years’ experience in software/ML engineering - which includes at least 1 years’ experience building LLM systems in production

• Expert Python, hands on with LLM APIs and cloud platforms (AWS, Snowflake, Vertex)

• Deep experience orchestrating multistep LLM workflows as execution graphs (e.g. LangChain/LangGraph).

• Experience building agent harnesses: memory compression, skill disclosure, and tool design

• Strong prompt engineering: tuning, versioning, and evaluation of prompts and model configs

• A proven track record in AI evaluation, observability, and retrieval over enterprise data

• Ability to explain complex AI concepts and tradeoffs clearly to nontechnical stakeholders

• Fluency with agentic coding tools (e.g. Claude Code) and their architecture patterns (a strong plus)
