Description

Are you passionate about building intelligent systems that seamlessly integrate various data modalities? As a Machine Learning Engineer on our Arrival Experience team, you will: - Build and deploy ML models that integrate imagery, spatial context, and user behavior to enhance arrival accuracy - Design and implement generative AI-based multi-agent systems that evaluate and improve arrival experiences - Work closely with product and engineering teams to bring model intelligence into user-facing features - Evaluate models using both automated metrics and real-world feedback, continuously iterating for quality - Stay informed on advances in computer vision, generative AI, and applied machine learning to explore new approaches and keep the system adaptive and future-ready

Qualifications

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field.
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in machine learning, particularly in computer vision or multimodal model development
  • Experience building and deploying transformer-based architectures, including Vision Transformers (ViT), or multimodal vision-language models such as CLIP
  • Familiarity with multi-agent system design and orchestration frameworks, including the use of Model Context Protocol (MCP), A2A (agent-to-agent) communication systems, or LangGraph for generative agent workflows
  • Proficiency in Python with deep expertise in PyTorch for model development and deployment
  • Experience working with large-scale datasets and building scalable training or inference pipelines
  • A self-starter with a go-getter attitude, able to work around data limitations or organizational constraints and continue making progress
