Consultant-level Machine Learning Engineer to lead the implementation and scaling of AI systems for legal products. This role focuses on how to build and scale -owning system architecture, infrastructure, and productionization of ML/LLM solutions.
You will partner with Data Scientists to turn validated models and prototypes into reliable, high-performance, customer-facing systems.
Key Responsibilities- Architect and implement scalable ML/LLM systems in production.
- Build and deploy LLM applications, including RAG pipelines and agentic systems.
- Implement hybrid search systems (semantic + lexical) using embeddings and search platforms.
- Develop and maintain APIs, microservices, and model serving infrastructure.
- Build data pipelines and streaming systems for large-scale data processing.
- Define and develop reusable frameworks, libraries, and infrastructure for AI/ML across teams.
- Optimize systems for latency, scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
- Establish best practices for deployment, monitoring, observability, and CI/CD.
- Collaborate with Data Scientists to productionize models and integrate into products.
- Provide technical leadership in system design and engineering standards.
Required Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong experience implementing and scaling production ML/LLM systems.
- Deep experience with LLM application development, including RAG and prompt orchestration.
- Strong experience designing and implementing agentic systems using agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, Google ADK), including orchestration of multi-step workflows in production environments.
- Strong experience with hybrid search (semantic + lexical), embeddings, and search platforms (e.g., Solr, OpenSearch).
- Expertise in distributed systems and cloud-native development, including AWS (S3, DynamoDB).
- Experience with streaming and messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, SQS) and caching (e.g., Redis).
- Proficiency in Python and experience with systems languages (e.g., Rust, Go, Scala).
- Experience building scalable APIs (REST/GraphQL).
- Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Strong software engineering fundamentals (system design, testing, CI/CD).
Preferred Qualifications- Experience with LLM platforms (e.g., ChatGPT/OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, LangChain, Google ADK).
- Experience with DevOps and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Jenkins).
- Experience with big data technologies (e.g., Spark, Hadoop).
- Familiarity with graph databases (e.g., Dgraph, Neo4j, Neptune).
- Experience building high-availability, low-latency systems.
- Experience in legal or regulatory domains.
Key Competencies- Strong system architecture and scalability mindset.
- Ownership of implementation, performance, and reliability.
- Ability to translate data science solutions into production systems.
