Staff Machine Learning Engineer

Lead through ambiguity

Build and scale the platform

Decide in real time

Ship safely, continuously

Must-have experience and skills

• Real-time serving. You have built and operated high-availability services that execute within strict latency budgets on critical paths, and you’ve designed robust fallback mechanisms
• Systems thinking. You view the architecture holistically: identifying failure points, managing graceful degradation, and ensuring the system remains responsive even when dependencies fail. You build the feedback loops that allow a system to learn from its own decisions.
• Engineering craft. You write code other people are happy to inherit — tested, typed, and correct when events arrive twice, late, or out of order. Adding the next feature to something you built is fast and painless.
• Pipelines in production. You have owned feature or data pipelines end-to-end, including troubleshooting cases where offline and production metrics diverged and resolving the underlying discrepancies.
• Ambiguity and influence. You've taken a problem nobody had scoped and turned it into work that shipped, and raised the level of the engineers around you while doing it.
