Senior Software Engineer

Responsibilities

Design, train, evaluate, and ship machine learning and deep learning models (classification, regression, ranking, vision, NLP, time series) against well-defined business and scientific problems

Design and implement LLM-powered applications using major model providers (Claude/Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, or equivalents)

Build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, including chunking strategies, embeddings, vector store selection (e.g., Azure AI Search, pgvector), and re-ranking

Develop agentic workflows with tool use and orchestration; implement guardrails, evaluation harnesses, and human-in-the-loop review where appropriate

Apply prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and structured output techniques; measure quality with offline evals and online metrics

Build and maintain robust data and feature pipelines on Azure; ensure data quality, lineage, and reproducibility

Productionize models with sound MLOps practices: versioning, automated retraining, drift detection, and rollback strategies

Use AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor) effectively alongside traditional manual coding — choosing the right approach for each task and reviewing AI-generated code with rigor

Manage source code in Git using a clean branching strategy and pull-request-based review

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) for automated testing, packaging, and deployment of AI services

Deploy and operate services on Azure using containers (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes/AKS), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or Bicep)

Instrument AI systems with logging, tracing, and evaluation pipelines so that quality, latency, and cost can be observed and managed over time

Partner with security and compliance to address data privacy, PHI/PII handling, prompt injection, and model risk in regulated contexts

Work directly with product, scientific, and business stakeholders to scope problems, set realistic expectations, and choose the right level of AI sophistication for the job

Mentor engineers on AI-assisted development practices and on the patterns and pitfalls of LLM-based systems

Conduct rigorous design and code reviews; advocate for evaluation, safety, and observability as first-class concerns
