Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior AI/ML Engineering Architect (Open to Remote) - **Company:** The Finch - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $175,000.0 - $215,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Training Data, Java (Programming Language), Artificial Intelligence, Algorithm Design, C++ (Programming Language), Graph Database, Information Extraction, Python (Programming Language), Machine Learning, Language Modeling, Named Entity Recognition, NoSQL, NumPy, Commercial Software, Software Deployment, SQL Databases, Pytorch, Large Language Models, Prompt Engineering, Deep Learning, Jupyter, Pandas, Scikit Learn, Information Technology, HuggingFace, Machine Learning Operations, Virtual Agents, Text Analysis, Spacy - **Published:** September 19, 2026 - **Apply:** https://arc.dev/remote-jobs/j/redirect/pl4q1rmnt2 ## About the Role * Hands-on experience building and deploying LLM and SLM applications: agentic AI, RAG, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. * Production experience with NLP systems for classification, entity extraction, and information extraction, covering the full lifecycle - collecting and preparing training data, training supervised and unsupervised models, tuning hyperparameters, and analyzing model errors. * Applied deep learning for NLP, plus strong working knowledge of Bayesian statistics, statistical analysis, and predictive modeling. * Strong Python skills; a second language such as Java, Go, or C++ is a plus. * Working familiarity with LangGraph, PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, spaCy, scikit-learn, NumPy, Pandas, and Jupyter. * Experience with SQL, NoSQL, and graph databases. * 5+ years of experience building commercial software products. * MS or PhD in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience (Bachelor's degree minimum). Preferred * Experience in national security domains. * Previous TS/SCI w/ Polygraph a plus. ## Description The systems you'll build here are the engine behind that mission. You'll join the team building Finch AI's next generation of products, helping design and build the generative AI, NLP, and machine learning systems behind them end to end - from design through production deployment. As a technical leader in generative AI and large language models, you'll help set direction on how LLMs and SLMs are applied across the product line., * Lead the evaluation, fine-tuning, and deployment of large language models (LLMs) and small language models (SLMs) in production applications. * Build AI-enabled applications using agentic AI, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and prompt engineering. * Design, develop, and evaluate machine learning models for text analytics - extraction, disambiguation, classification - including custom algorithm development where off-the-shelf approaches fall short. * Carry solution designs from proof of concept and prototype through to shipped features in existing products. * Partner with product teams and stakeholders in an Agile environment, communicating clearly with technical and non-technical audiences. ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1209-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [Vectorize all the things!
