As an ML Scientist III, your mission is to engineer, and scale production AI workflows, agents, and multimodal LLM pipelines , leveraging both in-house and third-party systems. You’ll develop agentic solutions with advanced orchestration tools like LangGraph , Langfuse , RAG, and the latest frameworks , owning end-to-end delivery and optimizations for inference and GenAI systems.

Requirements

• Minimum 7 + years experience delivering robust, scalable AI/ GenAI solutions at enterprise scale with a Bachelors degree (4-5+ year of relevant experience with a Masters/Ph D in CS, EE, Stats )
• A gentic f rameworks experience working with platforms such as LangGraph , Langfuse , RAG, CrewAI , AutoGen , and comparable agent workflow frameworks
• Ab ility to design complex agent graphs with memory, tool calling, and multi-step reasoning
• Multimodal and a gentic AI experience in both commercial and open-source models (VLMs, CLIP, Phi-4, DINO, et c ), advanced LLM pipeline design, and shipping both inference and generative AI features to users
• Hands-on experience in fundamental neural network models (CNN, Transformers, BERT, VAEs, Multimodals etc )
• Proven expertise in architecting persistent, hybrid, and context-managed memory for agentic workflows
• Strong in Python ( PyTorch , HuggingFace , etc.), MLOps , distributed systems ( PySpark , Databricks, Airflow), and scalable API engineering
• Deep experience with tracing, logging, and observability stacks ( Langfuse , PromptLayer , Weights & Biases, etc.), including prompt monitoring and model evaluation in live production
• Ability to t ranslate complex technical systems into actionable solutions for cross-functional teams, leveraging M ultimodal LLM s and Gen AI models

Responsibilities

• Develop and deploy complex agentic and multimodal AI workflows at production scale , architecting memory-enabled, context-aware agents that drive dynamic automation, personalization, real-time monitoring and content generation.
• Design and orchestrate advanced LLM and RAG-driven agent solutions using modular frameworks including LangGraph , Langfuse , CrewAI , AutoGen , and other emerging agentic orchestration tools—enabling adaptive, stateful, and highly interactive workflow graphs.
• Integrate and optimize complete multimodal GenAI pipelines: text-to-image, image-to-video, text-to-video, and text-to-voice, leveraging and extending in-house and third party models .
• F ine-tune (parameter-efficient tuning, LoRA , QLoRA , etc.), and evaluate (perplexity, accuracy, creativity metrics) both open-source (Llama, MPT, Phi-4, etc.) and commercial LLMs (OpenAI GPT-4, Gemini, Claude).
• Pioneer LLM-based simulation & evaluation environments (e.g., LLM-as-a-Judge) : Leverage the latest LLMs, multi-agent systems, and generative tools to simulate user behavior, accelerate experimental cycles, and rigorously evaluate new features or workflows in both synthetic and prod online shopping and travel environments.
• Simulate A/B testing via LLM simulations: Build A/B test agents capable of simulating user engagement, behavioral outcomes, and marketing scenarios to complement and replace large-scale online testing—enabling rapid iteration, robust pre-deployment validation, and deeper insight into agentic/LLM-driven feature impact.
• Continuously adopt and iterate on the latest frameworks, staying current with state-of-the-art in agentic orchestration, memory models, multimodal GenAI , LLM pipelines, and LLM operation (RAG, memory, tracing, evaluation).
• Collaborate deeply with engineering, marketing, and product teams to translate evolving business objectives into scalable and observable AI-driven solutions.

Benefits

• full benefits package, including exciting travel perks, generous time-off, parental leave, a flexible work model (with some pretty cool offices), and career development resources
• medical/dental/vision
• paid time off
• Employee Assistance Program
• wellness & travel reimbursement
• travel discounts
• International Airlines Travel Agent ( IATAN ) membership
