Remote Work From Home Chaplain Jobs in Raleigh, NC

As one of our Senior Machine Learning Engineers, you will lead the design and development of ML applications across our product portfolio, with a strong focus on generative AI and large language model (LLM) solutions. You will be a hands-on technical leader, providing architecture and shaping coding standards. You will evangelize best practices for software engineering including design, development, and lifecycle maintenance, and will partner with multiple software engineering teams to encourage practices like code reusability, shared libraries, UX-driven design, and a culture of continuous improvement.

You will help guide the transformation of machine learning research domain expertise in the areas of human data into viable prototypes. Your technical leadership will enable our Machine Learning Engineers to build and train new production-grade algorithms that can learn from complex, high-dimensional data to uncover patterns from which machine learning models and applications can be developed. Your ability to research current and emerging industry tools, techniques, and algorithms, and share these findings with colleagues will prove invaluable to your team's success.

You will meet frequently with stakeholders, product managers, engineering managers, data scientists, and other individual contributor engineers to understand a wide array of technical and business impacting variables and distill these into strategic and tactical choices that our Machine Learning Engineering teams will use to develop and improve software products for our customers.

Along with your primary directive of working across the product portfolio to support multiple scrum teams, you will also be expected to work with external customers either as a consultant or as a solution Machine Learning Engineer. There will also be opportunities to prepare and submit conference and journal articles.
