This is not a role for model research or experimentation in a vacuum. We're looking for an engineer who thrives on taking state-of-the-art ML (especially LLMs and AWS-based solutions) and transforming it into deployed, maintainable, and scalable real-world systems that power SQUIRE’s products. If you’re passionate about building practical ML applications and turning ideas into shipping features, this role is for you.
JOB DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own the full ML lifecycle for product features—from ideation to deployment, observability, and iteration
- Use off-the-shelf models (e.g. in AWS SageMaker, Bedrock, Comprehend, HuggingFace) to solve core user and business problems
- Build and maintain robust, scalable ML pipelines and infrastructure (batch and real-time)
- Work cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to ship ML-powered features
- Drive productionization: model inference, latency tuning, monitoring, logging, and failure recovery
- Continuously evaluate and integrate emerging models (especially LLMs) to improve accuracy and capabilities
- Bring an engineering mindset to ML work—automate processes, reduce tech debt, and champion good software practices in the ML stack
The duties and responsibilities outlined above are not a comprehensive list, and additional tasks may be assigned based on business needs.
IDEAL REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS
- 3+ years of experience in machine learning engineering, ideally within a product-oriented tech team
- Strong software engineering background with experience writing clean, scalable, and maintainable code in Python
- Hands-on experience using cloud-based ML services (especially AWS) and pre-trained models in production
- Experience with modern deployment stacks and MLOps: CI/CD, model versioning, monitoring, etc
- A pragmatic mindset—you value impact, simplicity, and reliability over academic perfection
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience integrating LLMs into products via APIs or fine-tuning
- Familiarity with React Native applications or full-stack development environments
- Prior work in consumer or SMB-facing products.
WHY JOIN SQUIRE?
- Work on impactful, customer-facing features powered by machine learning
- Help shape our AI-first engineering culture
- Enjoy autonomy and ownership over your domain with the support of an exceptional engineering team
- Competitive salary, equity, and benefits in a high-growth, mission-driven company
