About this role
Location: Remote (US)
Pay: $230,000–$300,000 + bonus + equity
A late-stage, venture-backed enterprise AI company is hiring a Staff ML Engineer to set the technical direction for its agent systems. This is model and systems work that ships to large enterprise customers, not a thin layer over someone else's API.
What you'll do
- Design multi-step LLM systems: reasoning, retrieval, planning and tool use
- Own evaluation, from offline benchmarks to online experiments and model-graded review
- Find and fix failure modes such as hallucination and tool misuse
- Set the quality, latency and cost targets the team builds against
- Mentor senior engineers and shape how the group works
What you bring
- 7+ years shipping ML in production, including LLMs at scale
- Led the design of complex, multi-step LLM systems
- Depth in transformers, embeddings and retrieval
- Evaluation experience beyond single prompts
- PyTorch or similar, on distributed cloud infrastructure
- BS in CS or a related field; MS or PhD a plus
Nice to have: ML shipped before LLMs, then moved into generative AI; detailed retrieval work (chunking, reranking, evals)
