Job description

About the Role

We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join the ML - Document Intelligence team to drive the design and development of our core Document Intelligence Platform as a Service. In this role, you will work on building and optimizing critical features like generic document entity extraction, entity resolution, and document classification, leveraging cutting-edge AI/ML techniques.

Your primary focus will be to:

  • Support the design and implementation of LLM-based technologies for document parsing, entity extraction, and classification tasks.

  • Apply traditional ML and deep learning techniques to continuously enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and scalability of our document intelligence models.

  • Build scalable ML pipelines and services for data preprocessing, feature engineering, training, and inference, enabling high-volume document processing workflows.

  • Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) on diverse document datasets to uncover valuable insights, optimize feature engineering, and inform model development.

You will also:

  • Collaborate with software engineers, Workday app developers, product managers, and other ML teams

  • Take ownership for finding creative solutions that move projects forward

  • Write clean, maintainable, and testable code following best practices in software engineering, including automation, observability, and scalability.

  • Conduct code reviews, participate in design discussions, and engage in collaborative team activities like hackathons and knowledge-sharing sessions.

About You

Basic Qualifications:

  • Deep Technical ML Capability: 3+ years of experience researching, developing and deploying production-grade ML systems, including expertise in deep learning, NLP, Information Retrieval, and recommender systems using frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow.

  • Generative AI & Agentic Systems: Proven track record of building and evaluating NLP and LLM-powered products, including expertise in RAG architectures, agentic frameworks (e.g., LangChain/LangGraph), and long-context LLM applications (e.g., Text-to-SQL).

  • Engineering Excellence: 2+ years of Python experience with a focus on modular library design, asynchronous patterns, and scalable system architecture (state management/error handling) for non-deterministic AI outputs.

Other Qualifications

  • Academic Foundation: Advanced degree (Master’s or Ph.D.) in a quantitative field or a strong portfolio of peer-reviewed research publications.

  • Optimization & Advanced Techniques: Proficiency in techniques like DSPy, Reinforcement Learning, imitation learning, graph neural networks, multi-modal models, and large-scale data processing (PySpark, SQL).

  • Experimental Rigor: A "test-everything" mindset with experience in A/B testing, Knowledge Graphs, and "Golden Dataset" curation for model benchmarking.

  • Data Pipelines: Proficiency in large-scale data processing (PySpark, SQL).

  • Production MLOps: Hands-on experience with the full ML lifecycle, including model fine-tuning (PEFT), evaluation frameworks (e.g., DeepEval/RAGAS), and cloud-native deployment (Docker/K8s, AWS/GCP).

  • Collaborative Leadership: Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams, mentor junior engineers, and solve ambiguous problems with high autonomy.
