About the Role

As a Machine Learning Engineer at LILA, you will be the bridge between research and production, transforming models and agentic workflows into reliable, scalable systems. Your role is crucial in advancing LILA's mission to build Scientific Superintelligence and solve significant global challenges.

Responsibilities

  • Own models and agentic workflows end to end, from research code to a deployed, monitored service.
  • Build the integration layer that lets AI agents reliably call models, tools, simulations, and data services in production.
  • Ensure models train correctly and that models and agents run efficiently, including profiling memory and compute, catching issues early, and keeping resource usage in check as workloads grow.
  • Design and maintain production AI/ML pipelines (data ingestion, training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring), with testing, observability, CI/CD, and automated evaluations built in.
  • Partner with domain scientists, ML researchers, and platform engineers to shape the architecture of our AI/ML platform, coding standards, and engineering best practices.

Requirements

  • BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent industry experience.
  • Strong Python software engineering fundamentals (testing, packaging, typing).
  • Experience with machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, Hugging Face).
  • Experience deploying AI/ML services in cloud-based infrastructure (e.g., FastAPI, containers, orchestration, databases).
  • Hands-on experience bringing models to production (e.g., deep learning models, LLMs, multimodal models, or RAG).
  • Strong debugging, profiling, and optimization skills.
  • Clear communication and collaboration in cross-functional settings.
