Strong programming skills in one or more production languages (e.g., Python, Java, Scala, Kotlin, Go)

Demonstrated ability to drive projects independently from problem definition to production

Deep understanding of predictive modeling and machine learning algorithms across supervised and unsupervised learning

Preferred Qualifications

5+ years of ML engineering experience (or equivalent depth) with a track record of technical leadership on large-scale ML systems or ML platforms that standardize workflows across multiple teams

Experience with agent-based architectures, orchestration frameworks, and LLM observability and evaluation tooling

Expertise with LLMs, including fine-tuning, prompt engineering, embeddings, retrieval systems, evaluation, and integration into production systems

Experience deploying models across multiple runtimes (e.g., on-device, server-side)

Understanding of privacy-preserving ML techniques and responsible data handling

Familiarity with email, calendar, or contacts domains, or other communications and productivity systems

MS/PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
