Position Purpose
The Machine Learning Engineer II is responsible for designing, building, integrating, optimizing, and maintaining AI-powered applications that leverage generative models and overall product lifecycle for a product that our users love. Generative AI Engineers are expected to collaborate closely with teammates as they develop and deliver user stories while supporting AI-powered products as they evolve. Generative AI Engineers may design and implement applications using large language models (LLMs) and other generative models to embed intelligent capabilities directly into software products. Activities may include prompt engineering, model integration, building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and developing scalable AI services. The role may interact with business stakeholders, infrastructure teams, and development teams to ensure business requirements are effectively addressed through generative AI solutions. The role may also support evaluation, performance optimization, testing, and monitoring of AI systems in production. Additional responsibilities may include working with domain data, improving prompts and AI workflows, and creating documentation or enablement materials for generative AI solutions.
Generative AI Engineers should be able to work independently with minimal guidance, while collaborating with cross-functional teams of varying skill levels to design, deploy, and maintain production AI applications. This role may review submitted code and prompt implementations, providing feedback and improvements based on engineering and responsible AI best practices.
