Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Your work will change lives. Including your own.

The Impact You’ll Make

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will be building a platform that accelerates drug discovery with machine learning for a wide variety of use cases with respect to data modality, model architecture, and model size. By leveraging your experience in machine learning, software engineering, infrastructure, and data, you will :

• Build our machine learning platform from a mixture of off-the-shelf and custom tooling as needed to enable the full model lifecycle from development through deployment
• Design and implement scalable LLM serving infrastructure to support high-throughput inference and real-time model serving capabilities
• Architect infrastructure for agentic systems, including multi-agent coordination, workflow orchestration, and autonomous decision-making pipelines
• Partner with ML teams actively developing models to onboard them to platform capabilities
• Continuously optimize the platform to support our emerging machine learning research capabilities and evolving use case needs
• Build and maintain orchestration frameworks for complex ML workflows, including agent-based systems and multi-modal model pipelines
• Inspire your team and stakeholders alike to find the best outcome by facilitating constructive dialogue, reconciling perspectives into a unified view
• Create tools and experiences that support the development of models however you won't be responsible for building machine learning models

The Team You’ll Join

The ML Infra team vision is to build and maintain a centralized platform composed of best-in-class tooling for machine learning, including intelligent agentic orchestration and LLM-powered capabilities. We strive to make machine learning easy and accessible across the organization by offering low barrier-to-entry solutions for building intelligent, self-managing machine learning pipelines from development through deployment. In a rapidly evolving landscape of MLOps tooling, agentic systems, and large language models, we aim to foster a culture of continuous learning and growth to stay informed of emerging technologies, and prudently incorporate them into the platform as makes sense for Recursion's wide portfolio of ML / AI use cases.
