Staff Machine Learning Engineer

As a Staff Machine Learning Engineer, you're a player-coach: a strong hands-on contributor who also sets standards, reviews others' work, authors the designs others build against, and mentors the team. You design, build, test, and deploy production AI products and the platform beneath them, and you shape how we build and integrate AI systems — working with engineers, scientists, product managers, and domain experts to turn ambiguous problems into reliable, scalable deliverables.

The core of this role is engineering: agentic AI products and their platform, including stateful, transactional services where reliability and data-modeling rigor matter. Classical ML, statistics, and experimentation are valued and let us take on predictive and inference work when the roadmap calls for it — but you may spend long stretches purely on AI-product and platform engineering, so we're looking for someone energized by that work.

Pay Range: The anticipated base salary range for this position is $119,300.00  to $196,600.00.

Exact salary depends on several factors such as experience, skills, education, and budget. Salary range may vary based on geographic location.
