Staff Engineer - Agentic AI
Staff Agentic AI Engineer / AI Engineer $200,000 - $250,000 San Francisco, CA Onsite, 5x per week in office Full time / Permanent Most "agentic AI" roles are still research projects dressed up as products.This one isn't. The agent is live, in production, handling real workflows for Tesla, BMW, Meta, and Amazon. You’ll be in the codebase from day one, improving an agent that's already shipping, not starting from a blank page.This company builds AI-powered automation for mechanical engineers. Think Claude Code, but for CAD, CAE, and PLM workflows. $32M raised, backed by Eric Schmidt and early investors in Anthropic and OpenAI. Over 1,000 customers running production workflows on the platform.They're hiring a Staff Engineer to own the agent intelligence layer, the system that takes an engineer's intent and executes it reliably across complex desktop software. What you'd own:Evals infrastructure and agent benchmarking - defining what "good" looks like for a domain with no established benchmarkAgent harness build-out and ongoing performance improvement (task success rate, token efficiency, workflow coverage)Architecture decisions: tool-calling strategy, state management, context handling, model routing, error recoveryTechnical leadership of a small team of AI engineers - player-coach, not pure manager The profile they're looking for:Proven expertise building agentic systems into production. Systems that take real actions - tool-calling, multi-step state, failure handling, cost constraints. Ideally 2 yearsStrong on evals: task completion, failure mode analysis, regression detectionProduction-first mindset - you'd rather ship 70% coverage reliably than demo a clever system you can't measureBuilders over researchers. Too much academic background is a flag here Desktop automation experience is nice-to-have. Mechanical engineering background is nice-to-have. Experience taking agentic systems into production is the bar.

Machine Learning Engineer - Speech Model Training
Machine Learning Engineer – Speech Model Training $250,000 - $300,000 San Francisco, CA Hybrid, 3x per week in office Full time / Permanent In this role you won’t be wrapping APIs or fine-tuning existing models. You’ll be building models across raw acoustic signal processing all the way through to production inference on edge devices. At a company that actually ships to 1.5M live users. A profitable, fast-growing AI company ($250M ARR in under three years, no VC dependency) is standing up a SpeechLLM lab from scratch. This is a founding seat on that team. They build a hardware-software AI companion used daily by over 1.5 million professionals worldwide. The next chapter is a world-class speech intelligence core and they need the engineers to architect it. What you'd own:Design and train large-scale speech models end-to-end. Unified SpeechLLMs, ASR, expressive TTS, generative audioOwn the full stack from acoustic feature engineering to GPU cluster optimisationRun and optimise distributed training at scale via PyTorch or JAX, FSDP, DeepSpeed, etcDrive real-time inference performance with vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, or SGLangApply RL alignment techniques to improve conversational qualityDebug the hard problems in distributed infrastructure and ship solutions You likely have:Proven experience training large-scale audio or speech models from the ground upDeep PyTorch or JAX expertise with real distributed training experienceGenuine comfort traversing the entire ML stack from signal processing to productionA bias toward shipping: you take ownership, you iterate fastStrong bonus: neural audio codecs, diffusion/flow-matching architectures, or LLM pretraining experience. Why joinProfitable company at ~$250M run rate - you'll see the impact of your work immediately in a product used daily by professionals worldwideDirect ownership of the live speech quality stack, not a supporting role in a large orgHybrid San Francisco team with real access to large, diverse, multilingual audio datasetsShort feedback loops - improvements ship fast and metrics are visibleClear path toward senior technical leadership as the audio team grows
