About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Turn research models into sophisticated agentic systems capable of a large degree of autonomy
  • Build harnesses, inference algorithms and systems, and smart context curation
  • Build release criteria that quantitatively show when an agent is ready to ship
  • Build developer-facing abstractions around agentic systems
  • Work closely with researchers to expose failure modes
  • Receive product feedback from customers and turn it into better systems
  • Translate customer and design-partner needs into reusable platform capabilities rather than one-off solutions
  • Own model releases, monitoring and rollback patterns as the production footprint grows
  • Work between research and product, then hand systems over to the productization team

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • A track record of ML-research or strong, research-adjacent ML engineering
  • Experience with in-context learning
  • Experience building agentic systems
  • Experience applying ML models in complex, dynamic environments
  • Strong software engineering skills in Python
  • Hands-on fluency with PyTorch
  • Sound judgment around evaluation, observability, reliability and production trade-offs
  • Ability to work directly with customers, researchers and product stakeholders
  • Pragmatic, outcome-oriented mindset
  • Primarily hiring at senior level; exceptional candidates with fewer years of experience may be considered if they demonstrate comparable depth, judgment and ownership
  • Nice to have: PFNs, synthetic data or probabilistic models
  • Nice to have: Weights & Biases, model registries, CI for models or comparable MLOps tooling
  • Nice to have: SDK or developer-tooling design
  • Nice to have: Prior startup, design-partner or 0-to-1 product experience
  • Experience with model serving, APIs, containers and cloud infrastructure

Benefits

Comp & perks
  • VSOP equity: a real stake in what we build
  • 30 days of paid holiday per year
  • Statutory social insurance
  • Conference travel and role-relevant learning
  • Flexible hybrid work, with roughly one in-person team meet-up per month
  • A high-end laptop
  • Access to the cloud compute required for the role
  • Potential expansion into technical ownership of the model-to-product stack or leadership of a small ML product group
