Design and deploy real-time voice and vision AI systems for classroom environments.
Evaluate tradeoffs between fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, prompt-based approaches, and tool-using agents.
Build scalable inference systems with strict latency and cost constraints.
Fine-tune and evaluate LLMs, ASR models, and vision/multimodal architectures.
Design robust evaluation frameworks (offline + online).
Implement safety guardrails and bias mitigation strategies.
Own the full ML lifecycle: data ingestion, training, validation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
Optimize infrastructure for GPU utilization, latency, and cost efficiency.
Partner with MLOps to build reliable, versioned AI pipelines.
Work closely with Product and Engineering to translate classroom needs into production-ready AI systems.
Clearly communicate tradeoffs between model complexity, performance, and cost.
Contribute to long-term AI roadmap and architecture decisions.

Requirements

5+ years building and deploying production AI/ML systems.
Hands-on experience operationalizing LLM-based systems (RAG, agents, prompt workflows, fine-tuning).
Experience with multimodal or vision systems.
Demonstrated ownership of AI systems in production (monitoring, evaluation, iteration).
Strong Python proficiency and experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow.
Experience working with distributed/cloud infrastructure for ML workloads.
Strongly Preferred Experience building real-time or low-latency ML systems.
Experience working with educational data or regulated environments (FERPA/COPPA).
Experience designing evaluation frameworks for generative systems.
Background in optimizing ML systems for cost at scale.
