Senior ML/AI Engineer

About the Role

This is a senior individual contributor role on the core AI team of an early-stage, AI-native consumer intelligence platform serving enterprise retail and brand clients. You will own the intelligent systems that power demand forecasting, consumer sentiment analysis, competitive intelligence, and autonomous decision-making, working at the intersection of applied research and real-world production deployment.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and deploy ML models for demand forecasting, time series prediction, consumer sentiment analysis, and anomaly detection at enterprise scale.

• Develop and iterate on an agentic AI architecture, building systems that reason across heterogeneous data sources and take autonomous action.

• Build and maintain robust ML pipelines covering data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and production deployment.

• Architect RAG systems and LLM integrations that power natural language interfaces and autonomous workflows.

• Collaborate with backend engineers to ensure models are production-grade, optimized for latency, reliability, and scale.

• Own model performance end-to-end: monitoring, retraining, and continuous improvement in production.

• Stay at the frontier of AI research and bring relevant innovations into the platform.

What We're Looking For

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field.

• 3+ years building and delivering production ML pipelines and ML systems architecture.

• Deep proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or equivalent.

• Production experience building agentic systems or LLM harnesses for real-world use cases.

• Hands-on experience with graph databases such as Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, or equivalent.

• Strong SQL proficiency for data querying and manipulation.

• Background from large-scale ML teams, established tech companies, or early-stage ML-focused startups is a plus.

• Experience with the Go programming language is a plus.

• All candidates must be based in the US and eligible to work without visa sponsorship.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $170,000 to $230,000 USD annually. No visa sponsorship is available.
