About the Role

The Artist-First AI Music Lab designs and builds state-of-the-art generative AI products for music, aiming to create breakthrough experiences for fans and artists. We are seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to invent new listening experiences that center and celebrate artists and creatives.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, evaluate, and improve machine learning training and inference pipelines for AI-driven music experiences.
  • Apply machine learning and prompt engineering knowledge across complex ML pipelines to support rich user experiences involving large language models.
  • Create evaluation frameworks, including LLM-as-judge pipelines, to measure quality and build fast feedback loops.
  • Partner with music subject-matter experts to bootstrap training and reference data.
  • Build scalable systems that balance experimentation velocity with production rigor.
  • Collaborate closely with Data Science teams to connect evaluation frameworks with real-world usage signals.
  • Contribute to technical direction and engineering best practices across model deployment, observability, experimentation, and production infrastructure.
  • Work cross-functionally with engineering, product, design, and music industry partners to shape new listening experiences.

Requirements

  • Experienced in applying machine learning in production environments.
  • Hands-on experience working with large language models, prompt engineering, evaluation systems, and shipping LLM-driven features in production.
  • Experience building and maintaining production ML systems using Python, Java, Scala, or similar languages.
  • Experienced in building large-scale data pipelines for sourcing, preparing, and evaluating training data.
  • Worked with cloud platforms such as GCP, AWS, Azure, or similar infrastructure environments.
  • Comfortable explaining machine learning concepts, assumptions, and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience building user-facing products and strong judgment around conversational AI and generative user experiences.
  • Deep care for experimentation, iteration, and using data to guide product and engineering decisions.
  • Thrive in collaborative, cross-functional teams that move quickly, experiment often, and continuously learn.
