Applied ML Engineer (Speech/ASR/LLMs) - Senior

Role Description

We’re looking for an Applied ML Engineer to lead the development and operationalization of machine learning models powering real-world AI products. The primary focus of the role will be building and improving speech-to-text (ASR) systems for medical conversations in Brazilian Portuguese and Latin American Spanish, while also contributing to LLM fine-tuning, clinical classifiers, and production ML infrastructure. This is a highly hands-on role focused on taking models from experimentation to production.

What you’ll do

• Design, train, fine-tune, and deploy ML models for speech and language applications
• Build and maintain training pipelines and evaluation frameworks
• Work on ASR systems for domain-specific medical conversations
• Develop and improve data pipelines and ML infrastructure
• Collaborate on LLM fine-tuning and classifier development
• Optimize model performance, reliability, and scalability
• Partner with product and domain teams to translate business needs into ML solutions
• Contribute to production deployment and monitoring of ML systems

Qualifications

• Strong experience building and operationalizing ML models in production
• Hands-on experience with:
  • ASR / speech models / audio ML
  • PyTorch or modern ML frameworks
  • ML infrastructure and distributed training
• Experience building:
  • training pipelines
  • evaluation frameworks
  • production ML workflows
• Strong programming skills in Python
• Ability to work independently in ambiguous environments
• Experience collaborating across technical and non-technical teams

Nice to have

• Experience with:
  • LLM fine-tuning
  • orchestration frameworks
  • clinical or healthcare data
• Experience building data flywheels or feedback loops
• Experience with GPU orchestration and experiment tracking
• Fluency in Portuguese and/or Spanish

Work model

• Remote – Americas
• Preference for candidates located near São Paulo or Medellín (not mandatory)
• Full-time

Note

This is an applied ML engineering role, not a pure research position. We are looking for builders who can take models from experimentation through deployment and production operation.
