This role requires hands-on ML experience and deep understanding of modern architectures, inference optimization, and responsible

AI.

#AIC

As a Machine Learning Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for:

Developing and maintaining model validation and security scanning pipelines that assess models for quality, correctness, and vulnerabilities prior to deployment
Implementing quantization, pruning, and other optimization techniques to reduce model footprint and improve inference latency across diverse hardwareconfigurations
Building guardrail and content safety systems that enforce compliance policies and mitigate risks such as jail breaking and prompt injection
Designing model routing and prompt management infrastructure that supports intelligent request handling across model variants
Contributing to model evaluation frameworks that measure accuracy, performance, and safety metrics across the model lifecycle

Do what you love

To be successful in this role you will:

Have 5 years of relevant experience and a Bachelor's/Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field
Demonstrate hands-on experience with modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX, including model training, fine-tuning, and inference optimization
Show proficiency in model quantization techniques (GPTQ, AWQ, GGUF) and an understanding of how model compression impacts accuracy and latency
Have experience working with large language models (LLMs), transformer architectures, and multi-modal AI systems
Demonstrate familiarity with model safety and responsible AI practices, including content filtering, red-teaming, or adversarial robustness evaluation
Show proficiency in Python and experience building production data or ML pipelines
Have experience with containerized deployments, CI/CD practices, and cloud infrastructure (not required, but suggested)
