Machine Learning Engineer

• Build AI-powered systems that improve the quality, reliability, and customer experience of AJO - by automating issue detection and resolution with human-in-the-loop approval, learning from operational patterns to prevent recurring failures, and providing real-time visibility into customer health and platform stability
• Develop intelligent knowledge systems that compound expertise over time - using vector embeddings, similarity retrieval, and pattern clustering to ensure every incident investigation builds on past learnings, making the platform progressively smarter and more self-healing
• Design and implement LLM-based workflows using prompt engineering, structured outputs, tool calling, and agentic reasoning patterns to create autonomous capabilities that operate safely at production scale
• Build evaluation frameworks to measure AI system performance: quality improvement rates, automation success rates, mean time to resolution (MTTR) reduction, and customer impact metrics
• Integrate AI capabilities with production infrastructure: Kubernetes, Prometheus, Splunk, GitHub, and 30+ operational data sources - creating closed-loop systems that detect, learn, and act autonomously
• Apply ML techniques to operational data: anomaly detection for early issue detection, time-series forecasting for capacity planning, pattern clustering for recurring failure identification, and predictive analysis for proactive prevention
• Collaborate with SREs, software engineers, and product teams to understand quality and reliability challenges, then design and deploy AI solutions that address them systematically
• Contribute to code reviews, testing, documentation, and CI/CD pipelines - building production-grade ML systems with the same rigor as mission-critical infrastructure

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or related field, with 2-4 years of professional experience (or strong academic/internship experience in ML/AI applied to real-world problems)
• Hands-on experience with Python and ML frameworks: scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace, or LangChain
• Practical knowledge of LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Azure OpenAI) and prompt engineering techniques for building agentic workflows
• Understanding of vector databases and similarity search (FAISS, Pinecone, ChromaDB, MongoDB Atlas Vector Search, or similar)
• Foundational knowledge of ML concepts: embeddings, clustering, classification, evaluation metrics (precision/recall/F1), and model deployment best practices
• Comfortable building APIs and integrating ML models into backend services using FastAPI, Flask, or similar frameworks
• Eagerness to learn production ML operations: model monitoring, A/B testing, continuous evaluation, and safety guardrails for AI systems
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to iterate quickly based on data and feedback
• Excellent communication and collaboration - able to explain ML concepts to non-ML engineers and translate business requirements into technical solutions
• Bonus: Experience with Kubernetes, observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog), incident management systems, or building AI agents for operational use cases
