Staff Machine Learning Engineer

Location: Remote (US)
Pay: $230,000-$300,000 + bonus + equity
A late-stage, venture-backed enterprise AI company is hiring a Staff ML Engineer to set the technical direction for its agent systems. This is model and systems work that ships to large enterprise customers, not a thin layer over someone elses API.
What youll do

* Design multi-step LLM systems: reasoning, retrieval, planning and tool use
* Own evaluation, from offline benchmarks to online experiments and model-graded review
* Find and fix failure modes such as hallucination and tool misuse
* Set the quality, latency and cost targets the team builds against
* Mentor senior engineers and shape how the group works

What you bring

* 7+ years shipping ML in production, including LLMs at scale
* Led the design of complex, multi-step LLM systems
* Depth in transformers, embeddings and retrieval
* Evaluation experience beyond single prompts
* PyTorch or similar, on distributed cloud infrastructure
* BS in CS or a related field; MS or PhD a plus

Nice to have: ML shipped before LLMs, then moved into generative AI; detailed retrieval work (chunking, reranking, evals)
