Job Description

AL/ML Engineer
Santa Clara, CA
FT Role

This opportunity is an ideal role for those seeking to build and deploy machine learning models at scale, and thrives in an environment where research translates rapidly into real-world systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, train, and deploy machine learning models for production use at scale.
• Work on LLM-based systems — from fine tuning to building agents and evaluation pipelines.
• Collaborate with engineers and product teams to scope problems, define success metrics, and build robust evaluation frameworks.
• Mitigate LLM challenges: address biases, hallucinations, and knowledge cutoff limitations to improve trust and performance.
• Optimize models for latency, accuracy, and scalability in real-world applications.
• Contribute to end-to-end product development — from research to deployment to iteration.

Qualifications:

• 2 years of experience in Machine Learning and/or Data Science, with a track record of shipping ML systems into production.
• Strong understanding of Machine Learning and Deep Learning libraries, such as Scikit Learn, Keras, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Theano, or DyLib
• Deep expertise in at least one of: the following:
• Search / retrieval / ranking or recommendation systems
• Generative AI product development (shipping beyond demos, building evals, problem scoping)
• LLM agent products
• LLM fine tuning
• Practical understanding of LLM limitations (bias, hallucinations, knowledge cutoffs).
• Experience working at an early-stage startup or on 0→1 product launches.
• Comfort with both research prototyping and production-grade engineering.

Direct Hire positions: They want local candidates to bay area. Preferred colleges are MIT, California Berkley, Santa Clara, Stanford, California State, Harvey Mudd, SF University. Jr to Mid level experience but looking for top of the class candidates.
