## Description

You aren't just one of a dozen ML engineers lost in a Big Tech department. You will own the architecture and performance of the machine learning pipeline that powers Stickerbox, scaling this technology to support a global product launch. This role is designed for a builder who wants to learn exactly how to launch and scale a physical AI product for kids from the ground up. You will make the foundational architectural decisions and translate product requirements into reality.

This is a hybrid role, 3 days per week out of our Long Island City office.

How will you create impact?

 * Own end-to-end latency from a kid's voiced input to a physical printed sticker, and the profiling to eliminate every bottleneck
 * Design and manage model deployment, versioning, and rollback strategies for a fleet of consumer hardware devices
 * Optimize batching, caching, and GPU utilization across image generation, speech recognition, and character models to keep the experience fast and affordable
 * Conduct build-vs-buy analysis for hosting and inference architecture and lead any resulting migrations
 * Design and maintain serving-side enforcement of product safety, kid-safe compliance, and automated character-fidelity checks
 * Manage the queues, autoscaling, observability, and release engineering that supports the ML generation path
