Senior AI/Machine Learning Engineer

Job Description:

• Own ML solutions end to end — framing the business problem, exploring data, training and evaluating models, and iterating based on rigorous error analysis — through to production deployment and monitoring
• Apply generative AI and LLMs where they fit the problem, selecting appropriate techniques and adapting as the field evolves
• Establish MLOps best practices: CI/CD for models, experiment tracking, model and drift monitoring, and responsible-AI practices
• Translate ambiguous business problems into well-scoped solutions, setting clear expectations on feasibility, timelines, and trade-offs
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor — presenting demos and recommendations, and explaining models, their limitations, and uncertainty clearly to audiences from engineers to executives
• Mentor teammates and collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams of engineers, data scientists, and designers
• Adapt quickly to new industries, tools, and client environments while staying current with the evolving AI landscape
• Operate as a flexible consulting engineer within DevIQ’s delivery model, contributing beyond AI/ML when project needs and team availability require it, including adjacent work such as discovery, data exploration, data engineering, application development, DevOps, solution documentation, technical analysis, internal tooling, or other client-supporting utility tasks.

Requirements:

• Machine learning depth
• 4+ years building, training, and deploying ML models in production — owning the modeling work, not just integrating model APIs.
• Strong modeling fundamentals: framing a problem as a learning task, feature engineering, model selection, and reasoning about bias/variance, regularization, and overfitting.
• Rigorous evaluation discipline: sound train/val/test methodology, avoiding data leakage, choosing metrics that fit the business goal, and error analysis to diagnose why a model underperforms.
• Deep learning fundamentals — architectures, loss functions, training dynamics — enough to build and debug models in PyTorch or TensorFlow, not just call them.
• Solid math/stats foundation (linear algebra, probability, statistics) and the judgment to know when ML is the right tool versus a simpler approach.
• Applied AI and engineering: Hands-on LLM/generative-AI delivery — RAG, embeddings, fine-tuning, and major model APIs (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock) — with judgment to choose between prompting, retrieval, and fine-tuning.
• Strong Python and the modern ML stack (PyTorch or TensorFlow, scikit-learn), plus solid SQL.
• Experience deploying and monitoring ML workloads on at least one major cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including versioning, drift monitoring, and retraining.
• Consulting and communication: Client-facing or consulting experience, able to explain technical trade-offs — including model limitations and uncertainty — to non-technical stakeholders
• Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity across multiple engagements.
• Willingness and ability to work beyond a narrowly defined AI/ML role, contributing to adjacent engineering, data, discovery, DevOps, consulting, and utility activities as needed in a project-based consulting environment.

Benefits:

• Competitive financial compensation and utilization bonus plans
• Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance
• 401k, With 4% Matching
• Paid Time Off
• Health Savings Account (HSA)/Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• Short-Term/Long-Term Disability Insurance
• Business funded Life Insurance Plan
• Dynamic yet relaxed work atmosphere
• Wide Variety of Growth Opportunities
