Job description
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)
