Concord, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 7/6/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/4/2026

Generative AI Lead | 6–8 Years Experience

We're looking for a seasoned Machine Learning Engineer who thrives at the intersection of data, engineering, and business impact. If you love turning messy real-world problems into production-grade AI solutions — this one's for you.


Work Schedule

This is a contract role requiring 2 days onsite per week. Candidates must be able to commute to the office location.


What You'll Do

  • Partner directly with business stakeholders to define ML use cases, success metrics, and evaluation frameworks — translating strategy into working models
  • Lead end-to-end data workflows: exploration, quality checks, feature engineering, and dataset preparation
  • Build, train, and iterate on ML models; run experiments, compare candidates, and champion the best solution
  • Package and deploy models into production-ready services using containerization and MLOps best practices
  • Own post-deployment health — set up monitoring, track model performance, and drive continuous improvement

Deep Learning TensorFlow · Keras · PyTorch · CNNs · RNNs · LSTMs · Transformers Applied to NLP, Computer Vision, and Time-Series Forecasting

Data Engineering Feature engineering · Missing data handling · Outlier detection · Normalization · Data cleaning pipelines

Databases MySQL · PostgreSQL · SQL Server · MongoDB · Cassandra


✅ What Sets You Apart

  • A solid conceptual grip on supervised and unsupervised learning, with real experimental work to back it up
  • Proven experience shipping models to production in cloud-agnostic, API-first architectures
  • Comfortable collaborating with engineering teams via version control and CI/CD workflows
  • Generative AI exposure is a strong plus — and increasingly central to this role
