Senior Machine Learning Engineer - NLP & LLMs (Mid-Level)

Location: Fully Remote

Compensation: $180,000 - $210,000 base salary + bonus + benefits

ABOUT THE COMPANY

We're working with a cutting-edge financial services company transforming the legal space through advanced AI. Their mission: to make legal and financial workflows smarter, faster, and more cost-effective by leveraging the latest in natural language processing and machine learning. As they continue to expand their AI capabilities, they're seeking a Machine Learning Engineer (Mid-Level) to join their growing NLP/LLM team.

This is a great opportunity for someone with solid production-level ML experience who wants to take the next step-working closely with seasoned researchers, engineers, and product leaders to build next-generation AI systems in a high-impact domain.

THE ROLE

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you'll contribute to the development, deployment, and optimization of NLP models and AI infrastructure. You'll be responsible for translating cutting-edge research into scalable, production-ready systems and collaborating with teams across engineering, research, and product.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Model Development & Integration: Work with senior engineers and researchers to develop and integrate LLMs and NLP models into customer-facing products.
  • Production-Ready Code: Build and maintain model pipelines that are scalable, testable, and efficient.
  • Data Engineering: Help design and manage data pipelines, labeling workflows, and model training datasets.
  • Model Tuning & Evaluation: Assist in prompt engineering, fine-tuning, evaluation, and benchmarking of NLP models.
  • Collaboration: Partner with applied scientists and product teams to deliver end-to-end features powered by machine learning.
  • Learning & Growth: Expand your skills through mentorship and exposure to cutting-edge NLP/LLM work and tooling.

YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

We're looking for a motivated engineer with a strong foundation in machine learning and an eagerness to grow within a fast-moving team.

Required Qualifications:

  • 3-5 years of professional experience building and deploying ML models (with at least 2 years focused on NLP).
  • Proficient in Python and familiar with ML libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch, spaCy, or Hugging Face Transformers.
  • Experience with model training, evaluation, and deployment in cloud environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Comfortable working with large datasets, data preprocessing, and version control tools (e.g., Git, DVC).
  • Knowledge of modern NLP concepts and language model architectures (e.g., BERT, GPT, T5).
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (Master's a plus).

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience with MLOps tools (e.g., MLflow, Airflow, Kubernetes).
  • Previous work with legal, financial, or highly regulated data.
  • Contributions to open-source NLP tools or public research.

BENEFITS

  • Competitive Compensation: $180,000 - $210,000 base + bonus.
  • Flexible & Remote: Work from anywhere in the United States or Canada.
  • Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
  • Professional Growth: Work alongside experienced engineers and researchers in a high-learning environment.
  • Impact: Contribute to real-world AI products used by professionals in law and finance.
