Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Public SectorNew$46K–$183K

The opportunity

The goal of a Staff Machine Learning Engineer at Scale is to lead the design and deployment of agentic AI systems that operate in real-world, mission-critical government environments. On the Public Sector team, you’ll work at the intersection of agentic ML, systems engineering,…

What you'll do

  • Lead the architecture and implementation of agentic AI systems, with a focus: on long-horizon reasoning, orchestration, and system-level reliability.

  • Build and scale agents that perform complex geospatial reasoning, including: interpreting, generating, and reasoning over maps and spatial data.

  • Design and improve retrieval systems across large collections of static and: semi-structured documents, enabling agents to surface high-signal context efficiently.

  • Fine-tune and evaluate embedding models to improve recall and precision for mission-critical datasets.

  • Design memory systems that allow agents to persist state, operate over long: contexts, and learn from prior interactions.

  • Own and evolve shared agentic infrastructure and core libraries, enabling: reuse across teams, products, and Public Sector contracts.

What they're looking for

  • Define evaluation strategies for agentic systems, including robustness: testing, failure-mode analysis, and regression testing in production environments.
  • Partner closely with engineering managers, product leaders, and researchers: to scope high-impact initiatives and unblock execution across teams.
  • Serve as a technical mentor and multiplier—raising the bar for system design,: ML rigor, and production readiness across the organization.
  • Comfortable with light travel (approximately 10%) for customer interaction and team needs.
