Machine Learning Research Engineer
Miro is looking for a Machine Learning Research Engineer to serve as the technical "North Star" for our Machine Learning organization. You will operate as an Individual Contributor, driving the architectural decisions behind the "Intelligent Canvas."
Your challenge is unique in the industry: You are not just processing text. You are building models that understand spatial relationships, visual diagrams, and unstructured collaboration . You will research, prototype, and ship novel architectures that combine Large Language Models (LLMs), Computer Vision, and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to make Miro the smartest collaboration platform on earth.
What youâll do
Design, train, and ship production-grade ML models âincluding deep learning, NLP, and computer vision systemsâthat solve complex business problems and power core product features.
Conduct deep exploratory research on massive datasets to uncover novel patterns in user behavior and content creation, translating raw data insights into new predictive modeling opportunities.
Apply advanced fine-tuning strategies (e.g., PEFT, LoRA) to adapt state-of-the-art foundation models to specific domain tasks, rigorously experimenting to maximize performance.
Architect scalable ML pipelines for data processing, feature engineering, training, and evaluation, ensuring high data quality and system reliability.
Optimize model performance for latency, throughput, and resource utilization, balancing model complexity with production constraints (e.g., overfitting vs. underfitting, compute efficiency).
Collaborate cross-functionally with data engineers, product managers, and software engineers to translate business requirements into technical ML specifications and integrate models into user-facing applications44.
Champion MLOps excellence by automating deployment workflows, implementing CI/CD for ML, and establishing robust monitoring for model drift and health.
Stay at the forefront of ML research , evaluating novel algorithms and techniques (e.g., Transformer architectures, quantization) to drive innovation and technical strategy.
What youâll need
Strong foundation in ML theory and statistics , including hypothesis testing, probability distributions, regression, classification, and optimization techniques.
Solid engineering fundamentals . You are comfortable writing production-level Python and have a deep understanding of data structures, algorithms, and distributed system design.
Deep proficiency in Python and the modern ML stack, with hands-on experience using libraries like Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, and deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow).
Gradient Debugging: Expertise in PyTorch or JAX, including experience with distributed training (e.g., DDP, FSDP) and debugging complex gradient issues.
Applied Research: Ability to read, implement, and improve upon the latest academic papers (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR). You don't just use libraries; you understand the math underneath them and can reproduce results in peer-reviewed papers.
Track record of end-to-end ML delivery , from exploratory data analysis (EDA) and feature engineering to training, validation, and deploying models in a production environment.
Experience with large-scale systems , capable of designing resilient architectures that handle vast datasets and high-throughput inference requests.
Strong engineering mindset , valuing code quality, testing, modularity, and maintainability just as highly as model accuracy.
Education + Experience
Option A: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or related field plus ~3+ years of professional ML engineering experience.
Option B: No formal degree, ~6+ years of industry experience demonstrating equivalent proficiency in building and shipping ML systems.
