SENIOR MACHINE LEARNING ENGINEER
REMOTE (OR HYBRID IN NYC IF PREFERRED)
$200K BASE + EQUITY + PERFORMANCE BONUS

THE COMPANY
My client is a high-growth startup transforming digital advertising-replacing black-box tools with transparent, customizable AI systems. Their platform gives brands full control of their data while using LLMs to unlock deep insights, automate decisions, and optimize campaigns across multiple platforms in real time. Backed by major partners and expanding globally, they're scaling a lean tech team with a mandate to move quickly and build things that actually work.

THE ROLE
This is a senior-level hire focused on developing, optimizing, and deploying machine learning solutions-especially around LLMs and foundational models. You'll work with large-scale systems, refine embedding pipelines, and help cut model runtime significantly. Expect real ownership, zero corporate fluff, and the chance to work on AI that's actually applied to business-critical problems.

WITHIN YOUR FIRST 90 DAYS, YOU'LL:

  • Work on demographic & behavioral data (e.g., product recommendations)

  • Use LLMs to build predictive models

  • Optimize neural network performance

  • Help consolidate and streamline embedding workflows

  • Build scalable pipelines for production

  • Reduce model runtime in a measurable way

THE STACK
AWS | Databricks | Snowflake | Hugging Face | GraphQL/REST/gRPC APIs | Python (object-oriented, production-ready code)

ABOUT YOU

  • 5+ years of industry experience, ideally with a Master's or PhD in CS, Stats, or a related field

  • Comfortable with large-scale systems and deploying ML models into production

  • Strong experience working with LLMs and foundational models

  • Skilled in model monitoring, testing, and evaluation

  • Experience mentoring junior engineers is a bonus

  • Advertising experience is helpful but not essential

  • You care about writing clean, maintainable code and thrive in collaborative environments

WHY JOIN?

  • $200k base + equity + performance bonus

  • Unlimited PTO

  • Remote-first with ~5 hours EST overlap (hybrid NYC optional)

  • High-growth startup with a collaborative, low-ego culture

  • Real impact on product, roadmap, and scaling

  • No corporate red tape-just smart people building good tech

  • Support for continued education and upskilling

  • Two off-sites per year to connect in person
