TechnicalLead,MachineLearning

COMPANY A1 is building a proactive AI smart assistant for everyday users to bring intelligence to conversations, errands, organising and workflows. Our product focuses on achieving high reliability for long-running workflows, persistent context, and real-world task completion. The system must handle multi-step reasoning, interact with external tools, and remain reliable despite non-deterministic model behavior.   ROLE As Technical Lead, Machine Learning, you own the execution layer of A1’s intelligence. You translate research direction into reliable, scalable, production-grade ML systems. This role sits at the intersection of research, infrastructure, and product. You are responsible for making models trainable, deployable, observable, and performant under real-world constraints. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own end-to-end ML system execution: data pipelines, training workflows, evaluation systems, inference architecture, and deployment. - Fine-tune and adapt models using state-of-the-art methods such as LoRA, QLoRA, SFT, DPO, and distillation. - Architect and operate scalable inference systems, balancing latency, cost, and reliability. - Design and maintain data systems for high-quality synthetic and real-world training data. - Implement evaluation pipelines covering performance, robustness, safety, and bias, in partnership with research leadership. - Own production deployment, including GPU optimization, memory efficiency, latency reduction, and scaling policies. - Collaborate closely with application engineering to integrate ML systems cleanly into backend, mobile, and desktop products. - Make pragmatic trade-offs and ship improvements quickly, learning from real usage. - Work under real production constraints: latency, cost, reliability, and safety OUTCOMES - Research and models reliably translate into production-ready solutions with clear performance and quality targets. - ML pipelines, training loops, and inference systems are stable, efficient, and maintainable. - Produc
