Key skills for this role
Braze is seeking a Staff Machine Learning Engineer to join our Predictive and Generative AI (PGAI) team. The team's mission is to deliver a truly engaging and personalized customer experience through the creation of ML and AI enhanced marketing solutions. We run those solutions as production systems at global scale, from the distributed pipelines that train models for each customer to the high-throughput APIs that serve predictions into our messaging systems across multiple regions. You will own the platform underneath, and you will make deploying, operating, and scaling ML at Braze fast, safe, and efficient.
As the Staff Engineer on the team, you will:
Identify and drive the transformative initiatives that change how the team runs ML in production, whether that's replatforming our queueing and orchestration, overhauling deployment and cloud identity, or retiring a generation of infrastructure
Build and ship at high velocity. Staff at Braze is a hands-on delivery role; you carry the most complex infrastructure initiatives yourself from design through production. Current examples include multi-region model serving fleets, the pipelines that keep hundreds of customer-specific models healthy, and the CI and deployment tooling that moves it all safely
Own the platform's technical vision and production quality bar. Set direction for how models are trained, deployed, served, and observed; lead incident response for ML systems; and drive the reliability and cost work that keeps the platform efficient at scale
Drive initiatives that span teams. Our platform builds on shared infrastructure, deployment tooling, and data systems owned with partner teams, and you carry the technical relationships with those teams
Raise the team's engineering quality through design review, code review, and production readiness for ML systems, and mentor other senior engineers and data scientists
Connect technical decisions to customer and business outcomes, and represent the team's technical perspective to product and engineering leadership
