Senior AI/ML Engineer — Production-Ready Solutions

Atlas Technologies, Inc.; Rhode Island; On-site; USD 150,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Atlas Technologies, Inc. is seeking a Senior Applied AI/ML Engineer to design, build, and operationalize advanced AI/ML solutions for high‑impact problems. You will shape solution architectures, select models, run experiments, and translate complex concepts into practical capabilities used by end users.

The ideal candidate will navigate research, prototyping, and applied engineering, leading end‑to‑end pipelines and collaborating with product and domain teams to deliver measurable value.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, Engineering, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in applied AI/ML engineering, including production deployments.
• Experience with LLMs, fine‑tuning, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG), prompt engineering, or custom model training.
• Experience with vector databases, high‑dimensional embeddings, and semantic search.
• Experience applying LoRA adapters for efficient fine-tuning of foundation models, including training, evaluation, and integration into production pipelines.
• Strong proficiency in Python and ML libraries such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit‑learn, Hugging Face, LangChain, or similar.
• Experience building and operating AI/ML systems in air‑gapped environments.
• Deep understanding of model development: supervised/unsupervised learning, neural networks, transformers, time‑series, embeddings.
• Familiarity with modern AI/ML ops tooling: MLflow, SageMaker, Vertex AI, Databricks, or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of API design, microservices, containers, and CI/CD for ML.
• Ability to connect technical solutions to business value and communicate effectively with executives and non‑technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy scalable AI/ML tools for generative AI use cases.
• Develop end-to-end ML pipelines, including LLM tool integration, data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and monitoring.
• Implement production‑grade inference systems and integrate ML models into applications, APIs, and microservices.
• Lead experimentation, define hypotheses, run evaluations, assess model performance, and identify improvement strategies.
• Work closely with engineering teams to build robust, secure, and maintainable AI‑enabled architectures.
• Provide periodic instruction and prompt fine‑tuning to resolve hallucination vectors, biases, or terminology changes.
• Partner with domain SMEs to translate real‑world constraints into features, labels, and model requirements.
• Evaluate emerging AI technologies, frameworks, and foundation models and recommend their use in mission‑relevant applications.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal standards, coding practices, and reusable components.
• Ensure responsible AI practices, bias evaluation, data governance, model explainability, and ethical use of automated systems.
• Prepare demos, prototypes, and proof‑of‑concept integrations that illustrate feasibility and value.
