The Staff Machine Learning Engineer is responsible for joining cross-functional teams (product, design, Engineering, infrastructure) to build innovative GenAI application experiences and overall product lifecycle for a product that our users love. The engineering process is highly collaborative. Staff ML Engineers are expected to pair daily as they work through user stories and support products as they evolve.
Generative AI Engineers may design and implement applications using large language models (LLMs) and other generative models to embed intelligent capabilities directly into software products. Activities may include prompt engineering, model integration, building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and developing scalable AI services. The role may interact with business stakeholders, infrastructure teams, and development teams to ensure business requirements are effectively addressed through generative AI solutions. The role may also support evaluation, performance optimization, testing, and monitoring of AI systems in production. Additional responsibilities may include working with domain data, improving prompts and AI workflows, and creating documentation or enablement materials for generative AI solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
45% Delivery and Execution - Collaborates and pairs with other product team members (UX, engineering, and product management) to create secure, reliable, scalable machine learning solutions, Works with Product Team to ensure user stories that are developer-ready, easy to understand, and testable; Configures commercial off the shelf solutions to align with evolving business needs; Creates meaningful dashboards, logging, alerting, and responses to ensure that issues are captured and addressed proactively
15% Learning - Participates in learning activities around modern software design, machine learning, and development core practices (communities of practice); Proactively views articles, tutorials, and videos to learn about new technologies and best practices being used within other technology organizations; Attends conferences and learns how to apply new innovations and technologies where appropriate
20% Strategy and Planning - Researches and analyzes business trends and behavioral data to identify opportunities for improvement and new initiatives; Leads the evaluation development and recommendation of specific technology products and platforms to provide cost-effective solutions that meet business and technology requirements; Researches and designs best fit infrastructure, network, database, security, and machine learning architectures for products; Proactively creates and maintains tools for monitoring and support; Participates in project planning and management across multiple efforts; Develops formal training courses
20% Support and Enablement - Fields questions from other product teams or support teams; Monitors tools and participates in conversations to encourage collaboration across product teams; Provides application support for software running in production; Proactively monitors production Service Level Objectives for products; Proactively reviews the Performance and Capacity of all aspects of production: code, infrastructure, data, message processing, and prediction quality
