Lead AI & ML Engineer

Salary: $61,000 - 101,000 per year Requirements:

• We require a masters degree in a data science-related discipline plus eight years of industry experience, or a PhD in a data science-related discipline.
• We need proven experience developing and deploying machine learning and generative AI solutions using Python.
• We expect the ability to write and maintain production-quality code, including documentation and sustainable design patterns.
• We value experience building automated testing practices, including unit tests, and implementing continuous integration pipelines.
• We look for experience building and managing data pipelines and processing workflows for analytics and machine learning use cases.
• We need strong scientific reasoning and structured problem-solving skills, including hypothesis-led analysis and metric definition.
• We require strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• We look for demonstrated ownership and strong attention to detail when working through ambiguous, complex problem spaces.
• We need the ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across product, engineering, data, and business partners.
• Preferred: experience designing or governing semantic models and ontologies, including taxonomy design and lifecycle governance.
• Preferred: experience implementing retrieval-augmented generation, tool use, and evaluation strategies for large language model applications.
• Preferred: familiarity with responsible AI techniques, including bias testing, explainability methods, and model monitoring standards.
• Preferred: experience designing scalable architectures for real-time or near-real-time inference and intelligent workflow orchestration.
• Preferred: experience influencing cross-functional technical direction and mentoring engineers through design reviews and delivery execution.

• We build generative AI, agentic AI, and large language model solutions in Python from proof of concept through production deployment with measurable outcomes.
• We design context engineering approaches to improve model accuracy, latency, reliability, and the overall user experience.
• We lead enterprise semantic modeling strategy, including ontology standards, governance practices, and lifecycle management.
• We partner with domain experts to create scalable ontologies that represent business entities, relationships, rules, and constraints.
• We define semantic integration patterns across data pipelines, APIs, data contracts, and experience layers to resolve semantic conflicts.
• We establish and govern a unified semantic layer that supports trusted analytics across business intelligence, machine learning, and transactional systems.
• We enable intelligent workflows and AI agents using ontology-driven context, semantic reasoning, and orchestration methods.
• We build and maintain pipelines and frameworks for model training, evaluation, optimization, monitoring, and machine learning operations.
• We implement responsible AI practices, model risk controls, and governance aligned with regulated environments.
• We mentor engineers and data scientists, raising the standard for engineering rigor, reuse, and continuous improvement across the team.
