Hybrid role with regular onsite work days in our San Jose, CA office strongly preferred. Other U.S locations may be considered.
You will make an impact by being responsible for:
- Developing and optimizing machine learning models leveraging NLP, Computer Vision, and GenAI
- Architecting and implementing scalable ML pipelines for training, validation, deployment, and monitoring of production models
- Driving the development of large-scale ML infrastructure, ensuring low-latency inference and efficient resource utilization across cloud and hybrid environments
- Implementing MLOps best practices, automating model training, validation, deployment, and performance monitoring
- Working closely with data engineers, software engineers, and product teams to ensure seamless integration of ML solutions into production systems
- Optimizing ML models for performance, scalability, and efficiency, leveraging techniques like quantization, pruning, and distributed training
- Enhancing model reliability by implementing automated monitoring, CI/CD pipelines, and versioning strategies
- Leading efforts in data acquisition and preprocessing, including annotation and refinement of datasets to improve model accuracy
- Staying updated with state-of-the-art ML research, identifying opportunities to integrate new techniques and technologies into production systems
You will be a great fit if you have:
- 7+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and deploying machine learning models, with expertise in NLP, Computer Vision, and/or Generative AI solutions
- Proven experience taking ML models from development to production, ensuring scalability, reliability, high availability, and ongoing performance monitoring
- Strong proficiency in Python (required) and working knowledge of R and SQL, with experience leveraging big data technologies (e.g., Spark, Hadoop) for large-scale data processing and analytics
- Deep experience with modern ML frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch, including model training, evaluation, optimization (e.g., quantization, pruning), and inference performance tuning
- Experience building and managing end-to-end ML pipelines, including data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, validation, deployment, and lifecycle management
- Hands-on experience implementing MLOps best practices, including CI/CD for ML, automated model versioning, monitoring for drift/performance, and workflow automation
- Experience with cloud-based ML platforms (e.g., AWS SageMaker, Azure ML, Google AI Platform) for training, deploying, and scaling models in cloud environments
- Practical experience with containerization and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and model serving platforms (e.g., Triton, ONNX) for production-grade deployments
- Experience fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) and applying Generative AI techniques preferred
- Familiarity with distributed training across multi-GPU or cloud environments preferred
You excel in these key competencies:
- Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down complex challenges in document extraction and transform them into scalable ML solutions
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate ML problems clearly and work autonomously
- Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, product, and data teams, influence technical direction without formal authority, and drive alignment across stakeholders in a fast-paced environment
- Capacity to connect technical ML solutions to broader business objectives, prioritize high-impact initiatives, and make pragmatic trade-offs that balance innovation with production reliability
- Demonstrates curiosity and agility in staying ahead of rapidly evolving AI/ML advancements, quickly evaluating new technologies, and applying them responsibly to real-world enterprise challenges
