The Opportunity
We're seeking a Staff ML Platform Engineer (MLOps) to build the platform our ML and LLM-powered products run on. Our ML footprint has grown fast, but the layer underneath it has not kept pace. You'll own that layer end to end: how models get built, deployed, evaluated, and served; how compute and environments get provisioned and managed; how our LLM calls get routed and optimized for cost; and how we know quickly when a recommender goes down or goes off the rails.
This is a build role and an operate role: when a model regresses or a recommendation looks wrong, you can trace it back to the inputs that produced it and help fix it.
Your Role
Our ML footprint has grown quickly: batch models, real-time recommendation models, LLM-powered features, and daily pipelines processing every available job across the US and Canada. What we haven't built is the platform underneath it: consistent compute and environments, a disciplined path from experiment to production, cost-aware routing across LLMs, and the monitoring that tells us fast when something breaks.
You'll assess our current pipelines and ML workflows with clear eyes, decide what to build and in what order, then build it. This is greenfield platform work with direct influence on production models and how our ML team operates, and it comes with real operational ownership: you will be close enough to the running systems to debug them, not one step removed.
What You'll Own
-
Assessment and plan: Evaluate our current pipelines, data architecture, and ML workflows, and produce a prioritized, opinionated plan for what needs to change.
