About the Role
The automotive retail industry is undergoing a digital transformation, and AI-native platforms are at the center of this shift. Tekion, the first cloud-native automotive platform company, is hiring a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to power its AI-driven dealership platform by building LLM control planes, agent runtimes, and classical ML pipelines.
What you'll do
- Build and run the LLM control plane/gateway with rate limits, quotas, failover, and token/cost tracking
- Ship unified API and SDKs (REST/gRPC) with normalized schemas and full observability
- Enforce safety and privacy: content filtering, prompt/response validation, and PII redaction
- Enable multi-model, multi-vendor LLM usage with automated canarying and versioning
- Own the agent runtime: tool registry, permissions, function calling, grounding, and retrieval
- Design orchestration patterns and manage agent state and long-running workflows
- Build training and scoring pipelines for classical ML and deep models
- Monitor model and data drift; retrain and tune models as needed
- Add human-in-the-loop review before agents touch dealer systems
- Evolve domain graph and build reliable data ingestion pipelines
- Serve real-time context to agents with access controls and lineage
- Power retrieval with hybrid search and smart cache/TTL optimization
- Run continuous evaluations for quality, factuality, bias, and safety
- Define SLOs and enable autoscaling and spend controls
- Maintain model/agent registry, versioning, approvals, and audit trails
What we're looking for
- 5+ years building large-scale data/ML or platform systems
- Strong software engineering fundamentals: API design, concurrency, distributed systems
- Production experience with Python plus one of Java/Scala/Go; microservices and API design
- MLOps at scale: pipelines (Airflow/Kubeflow), MLflow, CI/CD for models, A/B testing
