Lead MLOps Engineer – Privacy-First AI/ML Infrastructure
We're looking for a Lead Machine Learning Engineer to join our Engineering team, focused on designing and scaling privacy-first AI/ML infrastructure for global products. In this role, you'll work at the intersection of large-scale distributed systems and privacy engineering, building the platforms and tools that power ML models across our products - while ensuring user privacy is treated as a core engineering requirement, not an afterthought.
Essential functions
As a Machine Learning Engineer on the project, Engineer will dive into a variety of unique problems:
Build & Innovate: Research and develop state-of-the-art AI/ML solutions and tooling that transform how we train, deploy, and monitor models powering our products.
Scale & Secure: Design secure, private, and highly performant systems - ensuring privacy protection is built into our infrastructure by design, not bolted on.
Collaborate & Influence: Act as a technical leader - partnering with cross-functional teams, contributing to design discussions, exchanging constructive feedback, and mentoring junior engineers.
Champion Quality: Drive engineering excellence through design reviews, rigorous code reviews, and robust test automation, ensuring our AI/ML systems remain maintainable and resilient at scale.
