How You'll Make an Impact

Key Responsibilities

• Innovate and Deploy: Design and deploy advanced machine learning models to solve real-world problems, transforming research concepts into impactful AI-driven applications.
• Build Agentic Workflows: Architect LLM systems that connect to tools, data sources, and APIs -- leveraging open standards such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with careful attention to scoping, permissions, and reliability.
• Design for Security: Assess and reduce the attack surface of LLM applications; anticipate risks such as prompt injection, data exfiltration, excessive agency, and insecure output handling, and implement appropriate guardrails, sandboxing, and monitoring.
• Collaborate: Work closely with cross-functional teams to understand complex business challenges and deliver AI-powered solutions.
• Optimize and Scale: Implement scalable data pipelines, optimize model performance and accuracy, and ensure production readiness.
• Lead and Learn: Stay abreast of the latest developments in machine learning and AI; participate in code reviews and knowledge sharing.
• Impact: Monitor and maintain deployed models to ensure continuous value delivery, directly influencing how AI benefits individuals, businesses, and society.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field. Master’s or PhD preferred.
• Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles.
• Experience building LLM applications using modern patterns: tool use / function calling, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), structured outputs, and multi-step agents.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python preferred).

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Experience training or fine-tuning models (distillation, supervised fine-tuning, policy optimization), and the judgment to evaluate models built by Epic or third-party vendors on fitness, validation and drift.
• Working knowledge of deep learning and transformer architectures.
• Cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, GCP, Databricks).

What We Offer

• Competitive salaries based on level and overall fit.
• Epic database-focused certification opportunities when applicable to the role, including Cogito, Caboodle, and Clarity.
• Monthly grocery vouchers: MXN $4,000.
