About the Role
Edelman is seeking a talented and experienced Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join our remote-first global product development team. In this role, you will help design, build, evaluate, and deploy machine learning and generative AI solutions that power actionable PR and communications insights for our clients. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working across the full ML lifecycle, from problem framing and experimentation through production deployment and iteration. You will partner closely with product, engineering, design, and data teams to deliver scalable, high-impact AI products.
Why Join Us
At Edelman, we believe great work happens in a collaborative, open environment where every team member’s perspective is valued. Data and AI are central to our future, and this team is helping shape what that future looks like. You’ll have the opportunity to work on meaningful applied AI problems, contribute to high-quality products with real client impact, and grow alongside a supportive, forward-thinking group that values curiosity, partnership, and craft.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and deploy machine learning and GenAI solutions for production use.
- Develop models and systems across a range of problem types, including structured data, unstructured text, time series, and LLM-powered workflows.
- Partner with product managers, designers, data engineers, MLOps engineers, and frontend/backend developers to deliver end-to-end product solutions.
- Work cross-functionally to define ambiguous problems, conduct user discovery, and translate insights into effective product and technical solutions.
- Evaluate model and system performance using appropriate metrics, and iterate based on results.
- Contribute to architecture and implementation decisions that balance performance, reliability, scalability, and cost.
- Document technical approaches, experiments, and implementation details to support maintainability and future development.
- Communicate technical findings, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Help establish best practices for experimentation, model deployment, and AI product development.
