What you’ll be doing:

Develop and implement ML and GenAI models: Design, develop, and deploy scalable machine learning and generative AI models—including LLMs and agentic systems—that address complex business challenges in the marketing and business domain (e.g., recommendation engines, intelligent assistants).
Experiment and improve performance: Enhance existing recommendation systems and LLMs by optimizing model architecture, latency, and inference speed for real-world deployments at scale.
Fine-tuning and prompt engineering: Customize foundation models using domain-specific datasets to improve accuracy and contextual relevance; design effective prompts for generative and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) use cases.
Implement guardrails and safety mechanisms: Ensure responsible AI usage by integrating moderation filters, response constraints, and behavior boundaries using frameworks like NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails or similar.
AI security and compliance: Design AI systems with attention to data privacy, access control, prompt injection protection, and safe handling of critical marketing data.
Build algorithms to understand user interest and intent, improve content relevancy, and support adaptive personalization strategies.
Architect end-to-end solutions for complex data platforms and large-scale CI/CD data pipelines using a variety of technologies and data stores aligned with compliance needs.
Collaborate with engineers and scientists to transform large, noisy datasets into training and evaluation datasets for model development and iteration.
Collaborate multi-functionally with product managers, engineers, and analysts to translate business requirements into production-grade AI solutions.

What we need to see:

Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or a related field or equivalent experience.
Proven experience as a Machine Learning or AI Engineer with a track record of delivering ML and GenAI solutions.
Solid understanding and hands-on experience with LLMs, GenAI frameworks, and Agentic AI tools (e.g., LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen).
Experience with fine-tuning, prompt optimization, and serving LLMs in a production environment.
Familiarity with guardrails, content safety filters, and responsible AI practices (e.g., using NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails, moderation layers).
Understanding of AI security practices, including prompt injection mitigation, safe API exposure, and privacy-aware model deployment.
Working SQL knowledge and experience with relational/non-relational databases.
Strong programming skills in Python, Golang, R, or Java; experience with ML frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn.
Ability to evaluate and tune models using robust metrics, A/B testing, and business impact measurement.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Experience deploying and monitoring LLM or deep learning systems in production at scale.
Proven ability to secure and govern GenAI systems, including audits, access control, and guardrail implementations.
Experience optimizing LLM performance through quantization, distillation, or custom pipelines.
Proficiency in RAG pipelines, semantic search, vector databases, and personalization through embeddings.
Passion for staying abreast of the latest trends in GenAI, AI security, and responsible development practices.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
