Senior Machine Learning Engineer | Firefly Boards

Requirements

• BS or MS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience. PhD is a big plus.

• 6+ years of experience in the ML field with consistent results

• Experience delivering consistent business results through ML

• Strong skills and development experience with Python, Typescript, or C++

• Strong knowledge of design patterns, data structures, and algorithms

• Strong understanding of machine learning algorithms, statistical modeling, and analytics techniques, with practical experience in developing and deploying ML models

• Good knowledge of machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Jax)

• Product impact focus - you measure success by user adoption and business metrics, not just model accuracy

• Comfortable working with multi-functional teams (frontend, backend, product, design) in async environments

• Fast iteration mentality - you ship incrementally and improve based on real-world feedback

Nice to Haves

• Graphics/ML intersection: image generation, vector graphics understanding, creative ML applications

• Experience working with OpenAI APIs and other model APIs (e.g., Hugging Face, Cohere)

• Experience shipping ML to B2C products with millions of users

• Multi-modal models: vision-language models, audio processing for creative workflows

What you'll be doing

• Ship production ML features: own end-to-end ML development from experimentation to deployment

• Drive intelligent user experiences: integrate and optimize ML models (recommendations, generation, automation) that power core creative workflows

• Productionize at velocity: deploy reliable, monitored ML systems that scale, maintaining performance under high-traffic B2C conditions

• Partner with product engineering: collaborate with frontend/backend teams to integrate ML seamlessly into user flows, optimizing for both technical quality and user impact

• Build agentic capabilities: develop autonomous AI agents that handle complex creative workflows

Perks and Benefits

• Exceptional work environment recognized throughout the world on Best Companies lists

• Unique Check-In approach for ongoing feedback

• Opportunity for personal growth
