Remote Machine Learning Engineer Jobs in New Jersey

If you're ready to be part of our legacy of hope and innovation, we encourage you to take the first step and explore our current job openings. Your best is waiting to be discovered.

Day - 08 Hour (United States of America)We are seeking a high-caliber Senior AI Platform & ML Ops Engineer to architect the "layered" infrastructure required for autonomous, agentic systems within Stanford Healthcare. In this role, you will be the "Master Chef" of our AI ecosystem, seamlessly folding Expert-Level DevOps (Kubernetes, Terraform, DevOps orchestration) with Agentic Application Development (LangGraph, CrewAI, Tool-calling logic). You won't just manage servers; you will build the robust, full-stack "factory" where multi-agent frameworks interact with healthcare APIs, ensuring every autonomous action is governed by strict ML Ops observability (LangSmith, Arize) and safety guardrails. If you have the "crispy" coding skills to build RAG pipelines in Python and the "rich" architectural depth to deploy scalable microservices, extensive full stack software development expertise, we want you to lead the integration of reasoning-based AI into the future of clinical and business workflow automations.

This is a Stanford Health Care job.
