The vision of the Documents and Vision Intelligence team is to build a unified intelligence layer that transforms unstructured information — both text-based documents and image-based content— into trusted signals that enable downstream automation and decision-making across multiple lines of business.

As a Staff Machine Learning Engineer, you will serve as a technical lead through the design, development, and deployment of advanced machine learning solutions across the business. This role focuses on building scalable ML systems, applying AI-native thinking to accelerate experimentation and delivery, and partnering closely with product and business stakeholders to solve high-impact problems.

You will be a technical leader for a team of Machine Learning engineers and/or data scientists focused on ensuring ML solutions are robust, high-performing, and seamlessly integrated into production systems. This position requires hands-on engineering strength, strong communication, product and business acumen, and the ability to thrive in ambiguous environments.

• Design and implement machine learning models, services, and components that solve real-world business problems in close collaboration with product and business teams.
• Write production-grade code for ML models as services and APIs.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product, data engineering, and software development, to integrate machine learning solutions into production systems.
• Build and maintain scalable data processing workflows and model deployment infrastructure.
• Debug and resolve model performance issues, track relevant metrics, and implement continuous improvements to ensure model accuracy and reliability.
• Stay current with modern ML, generative AI, LLM, agentic workflow, and AI engineering tooling, and apply AI-native practices to improve engineering velocity and solution quality.
• Lead the design and implementation of complex machine learning solutions across various business units, balancing technical feasibility, product goals, and measurable business impact.
• Architect and develop scalable infrastructure for automated model training, hyperparameter tuning, and deployment.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, collaborating closely with machine learning engineers and cross-functional partners to optimize, refine, and operationalize ML solutions.
• Own the end-to-end systems for model monitoring, maintenance, and retraining to ensure high availability and performance.

• B.S. in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, machine learning, statistics, mathematics, or a related quantitative field; M.S. or equivalent work experience preferred.
• 6+ years of experience applying machine learning techniques such as ensemble learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, NLP, generative AI, or related approaches.
• Direct experience designing, building, evaluating, and deploying production-grade ML systems, including model experimentation, evaluation, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• 6+ years of experience with SQL, Spark or equivalent distributed data processing tools, Python, and machine learning frameworks such as Tensor Flow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn.
• 4+ years of experience working with cloud platforms and environments such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Databricks and/or…
