A core focus of this role is building our internal tabular foundation models- pretraining, fine-tuning, and serving them in large-scale production systems. As a Senior/Staff AI Engineer, you will turn ML research into robust, scalable production systems and own them across their full lifecycle. You'll work with AI Scientists, Software Engineers, and Program Managers across Palo Alto, CA, and Seoul, South Korea.\n\nResponsibilities\nPartner with AI Scientists to build and productionize our tabular foundation models - owning the pretraining, fine-tuning, serving, and monitoring infrastructure and scaling it from research prototype to large-scale production.\nBuild reliable, performant ML infrastructure across research, staging, and production: data, training, and inference pipelines, CI/CD, observability, and reproducible workflows, tuned for latency, throughput, and resource usage.\nDesign evaluation and monitoring that reflect how models are actually used, including handling real-world data challenges such as distribution shift and limited labels.\nSet engineering standards, lead design and architecture reviews, and drive adoption of new modeling approaches, algorithms, and infrastructure.\nPartner with product and engineering teams to integrate ML into user-facing systems.\nDefine scope and roadmap for multi-team initiatives, drive cross-team and cross-functional alignment across AI Science, engineering, and product, and mentor senior engineers to raise the organization's technical bar.\nKey Qualifications\nBS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, or a related technical field, plus 6+ years of full-time experience; or MS/PhD plus 4+ years of full-time experience.\nStrong programming skills in Python with a solid grounding in algorithms and data structures, and deep proficiency with the Python data/ML stack (NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, and PyTorch or TensorFlow) for end-to-end model development.\n3+ years building production-grade ML infrastructure - data pipelines, training/inference workflows, and deployment automation - with solid software engineering fundamentals (Git, testing, code review, CI/CD, and containerization/orchestration such as Docker and Kubernetes).\nTrack record of shipping ML systems with real attention to scalability, performance, and reliability.\nDemonstrated technical leadership: owning the roadmap for multi-quarter, multi-team efforts, driving cross-team and cross-functional alignment, and mentoring other engineers.\nPreferred Qualifications\nBS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, or a related technical field, plus 8+ years of full-time experience; or MS/PhD plus 6+ years of full-time experience.\nExperience pretraining, fine-tuning, and serving foundation models and transformers of any modality (tabular, timeseries, language, vision, etc.) at scale.\nExperience optimizing training and inference for large-scale models, including distributed/parallel training (multi-GPU/multi-node).\nExperience deploying ML in production across batch, real-time, or edge settings.\nExperience with models under real-world data challenges - distribution shift, limited or noisy labels, or continual learning.\nDevelopment in a cloud environment (AWS, Azure, or GCP).\nProductive with AI-assisted / agentic coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Copilot) and eager to push their limits - building workflows and agents that raise the team's velocity.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3574,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Machine Learning","Semiconductor Manufacturing","Industrial AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2025-06-19T04:47:08Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":3,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":277500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.288,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":496,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gauss-labs-senior-ai-engineer-machine-learning-us","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gauss-labs-senior-ai-engineer-machine-learning-us.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T14:46:48Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20046,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":51155},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=51155"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgauss-labs-senior-ai-engineer-machine-learning-us"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgauss-labs-senior-ai-engineer-machine-learning-us"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgauss-labs-senior-ai-engineer-machine-learning-us"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/gauss-labs-senior-ai-engineer-machine-learning-us\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgauss-labs-senior-ai-engineer-machine-learning-us"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":140334}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"gausslabs.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":140334},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
