Senior AI Engineer - Machine Learning (US)
Gauss Labs, Palo Alto, CA
About the job
Gauss Labs builds Industrial AI for the world's leading manufacturers, applying state-of-the-art ML to large volumes of real production data. A core focus of this role is building our internal tabular foundation models — pretraining, fine-tuning, and serving them in large-scale production systems. As a Senior/Staff AI Engineer, you will turn ML research into robust, scalable production systems and own them across their full lifecycle. You'll work with AI Scientists, Software Engineers, and Program Managers across Palo Alto, CA, and Seoul, South Korea.
Responsibilities
- Partner with AI Scientists to build and productionize our tabular foundation models — owning the pretraining, fine-tuning, serving, and monitoring infrastructure and scaling it from research prototype to large-scale production.
- Build reliable, performant ML infrastructure across research, staging, and production: data, training, and inference pipelines, CI/CD, observability, and reproducible workflows, tuned for latency, throughput, and resource usage.
- Design evaluation and monitoring that reflect how models are actually used, including handling real-world data challenges such as distribution shift and limited labels.
