Design, build, deploy, and improve ML/LLM-powered services and features that power intelligent automation and AI-driven product experiences across the Workato platform. Work closely with Engineering, Product, and Design teams to define and track product metrics and evaluation strategies, design customer-facing experiments, and provide actionable insights. This role is ideal for someone who combines strong ML/LLM intuition, software engineering skills, and a practical mindset for shipping reliable, scalable AI systems.
Responsibilities
- Build and improve AI services using LLMs and custom machine learning models for production use cases.
- Design, develop, and operate ML/LLM systems end-to-end, from prototyping to deployment and monitoring.
- Write high-quality Python code that is testable, maintainable, and efficient.
- Improve validation, observability, and performance monitoring for ML services (quality, latency, reliability, cost).
- Partner cross-functionally with product managers, platform engineers, and other stakeholders to ship AI-powered product capabilities.
- Evaluate and improve existing implementations by identifying bottlenecks, bugs, and opportunities for optimization.
- Design controlled experiments to test the features for our AI-based products and perform deep analysis from the results to find actionable insights.
- Contribute to technical design and code reviews, helping raise engineering quality across the team.
- Experiment and iterate on model behavior, prompting, retrieval, tool use, or orchestration strategies to improve user outcomes.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or equivalent practical experience.
- 3+ years of experience in Machine Learning Engineering, Data Science, or a similar role.
- Strong Python programming skills.
- Hands-on experience with NLP and/or LLM-based systems.
- Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals (testing, code quality, debugging, version control).
- Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-moving environment and drive projects with ownership.
- Experience with tool-use agents or workflow-aware AI systems.
- Experience building AI products in enterprise SaaS environments.
- Experience with A/B testing and statistical significance techniques.
- Experience with LLMOps/MLOps tooling and practices (monitoring, evaluation pipelines, model rollout, CI/CD).
- Experience working with modern data warehouses such as Amazon Redshift Snowflake.
