Staff Machine Learning Engineer

The posting, as Mural Group wrote it

A late-stage, venture-backed enterprise AI company is hiring a Staff ML Engineer to set the technical direction for its agent systems. This is model and systems work that ships to large enterprise customers, not a thin layer over someone else's API.

What you'll do

• Design multi-step LLM systems: reasoning, retrieval, planning and tool use
• Own evaluation, from offline benchmarks to online experiments and model-graded review
• Find and fix failure modes such as hallucination and tool misuse
• Set the quality, latency and cost targets the team builds against
• Mentor senior engineers and shape how the group works

What you bring

• 7+ years shipping ML in production, including LLMs at scale
• Led the design of complex, multi-step LLM systems
• Depth in transformers, embeddings and retrieval
• Evaluation experience beyond single prompts
• PyTorch or similar, on distributed cloud infrastructure
• BS in CS or a related field; MS or PhD a plus

Nice to have: ML shipped before LLMs, then moved into generative AI; detailed retrieval work (chunking, reranking, evals)
