Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Los Altos, CA

Uare.ai, founded by Robert LoCascio (former CEO of LivePerson for 28 years), is an AI startup launched in May 2024 with a mission to empower people to do more with their memories. Uare.ai creates AI-driven personal digital twins, enabling users to preserve, share, and interact with their knowledge and stories in groundbreaking ways.

At its core is the proprietary Human Life Model (HLM), designed to process unstructured conversations and story data sets without training client data into traditional LLMs. Instead, Uare.ai leverages 3rd-party LLMs for conversations, with HLM providing structure and reasoning.

While initially focused on personal legacy and AI immortality, Uare.ai’ platform has broad B2C and B2B applications. The company has gained significant traction, featured in over 30 outlets including NBC, NPR, The New York Post, and CNET.

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join an early-stage, mission-driven startup that’s building cutting-edge AI-powered products for real-world human interaction. You will be responsible for designing and implementing scalable machine learning pipelines, integrating foundation models, and fine-tuning retrieval systems that deliver high-quality, context-aware responses.

 

What You’ll Do:

  • Design and implement machine learning workflows that combine structured and unstructured data.
  • Work with state-of-the-art language models and voice technologies.
  • Build and optimize retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems.
  • Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to turn early prototypes into production-grade systems.
  • Help shape the future of AI-powered human interaction products.

 

What We’re Looking For:

  • 4+ years of experience in machine learning, NLP, or AI.
  • Strong experience with LLMs, RAG pipelines, vector databases, and prompt engineering.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud-based AI platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Familiarity with voice cloning, speech synthesis, or related audio ML workflows is a plus.
  • Excited about building 0-to-1 products in a fast-moving environment.

The expected base compensation for this position is below. Our total compensation package for full-time employees includes equity and a comprehensive benefits package.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
