Senior ML Engineer at Scale AI focuses on deploying agentic AI models for government systems, spanning LLMs and computer vision, with a strong emphasis on production-grade ML and scalable infrastructure.

  • Take state of the art models and deploy in production
  • Improve/maintain production models via retraining and tuning
  • Collaborate with product/research to prototype ML enhancements
  • Work with massive datasets to develop generic and product-specific models
  • Build scalable ML infrastructure and serve as a cross-functional ML advocate

Role involves building and maintaining production ML models, developing robust ML infrastructure, and integrating LLMs and retrieval pipelines into government-focused products, using Python with TensorFlow/PyTorch on AWS/GCP.

The ideal candidate is a senior ML engineer with production experience across computer vision, NLP/NLG, RL, and agentic systems, capable of shipping models into government-facing deployments. They should be comfortable working with large datasets, architecting scalable infrastructure, and navigating security-clearance requirements.
