[Remote] Machine Learning Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Orbien LLC is seeking a Principal Machine Learning Engineer to lead the development of advanced agentic AI and large language model systems. The role focuses on architecting multi-agent systems, optimizing retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, fine-tuning and evaluating models, building scalable ML services, and establishing standards for evaluation, observability, safety, and compliance.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement multi agent systems capable of planning, tool use, and coordinated task execution
• Design and optimize RAG pipelines including embeddings, hybrid retrieval, reranking, and context window strategies
• Fine tune and evaluate small, medium, and large language models for domain specific reasoning and summarization
• Develop prompt engineering frameworks, guardrails, and automated evaluation suites for agent reliability
• Build scalable ML services and APIs for production deployment in distributed environments
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and domain experts to translate complex workflows into agentic AI solutions
• Establish best practices for model evaluation, observability, safety, and compliance
• Mentor DS/ML engineers and contribute to long term AI strategy and architecture
