About the Role
As Machine Learning Technical Lead, you will own the execution layer of intelligence, translating research direction into reliable, scalable, production-grade ML systems. This role sits at the intersection of research, infrastructure, and product, focusing on making models trainable, deployable, observable, and performant under real-world constraints.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end ML system execution: data pipelines, training workflows, evaluation systems, inference architecture, and deployment.
- Fine-tune and adapt models using state-of-the-art methods such as LoRA, QLoRA, SFT, DPO, and distillation.
- Architect and operate scalable inference systems, balancing latency, cost, and reliability.
- Design and maintain data systems for high-quality synthetic and real-world training data.
- Implement evaluation pipelines covering performance, robustness, safety, and bias, in partnership with research leadership.
- Own production deployment, including GPU optimization, memory efficiency, latency reduction, and scaling policies.
- Collaborate closely with application engineering to integrate ML systems cleanly into backend, mobile, and desktop products.
- Make pragmatic trade-offs and ship improvements quickly, learning from real usage.
- Work under real production constraints: latency, cost, reliability, and safety.
Requirements
- Experience building or shipping real Machine Learning systems used by people, not just demos.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) experience required.
- Experience working with large models and understanding their failure modes.
- Experience writing strong, production-grade code.
- Self-directed, pragmatic, and takes full ownership of outcomes.
- Communicates clearly and collaborates well in small, high-trust teams.
