• Job title: Senior AI/ML Engineer – Generative AI, Autonomous Agents
• Job type: Full Time
• Experience level: Senior
• Salary: Not specified
• Degree requirement: Postgraduate Degree
• Tech skills: AWS, Azure, Cloud, ETL, Microservices, Python
• Location requirements: Hybrid, Seattle, United States

About the role

• Senior AI/ML Engineer at Extreme Networks developing AI-native systems with Generative AI expertise. Building intelligent systems for network design, optimization, security, and support.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement the business logic and modeling that governs agent behavior, including decision-making workflows, tool usage, and interaction policies.
• Develop and refine LLM-driven agents using prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), fine-tuning, or function calling.
• Understand and model the domain knowledge behind each agent: engage with network engineers, learn the operational context, and encode this understanding into effective agent behavior.
• Apply traditional ML modeling techniques (classification, regression, clustering, anomaly detection) to enrich agent capabilities.
• Contribute to the data engineering pipeline that feeds agents, including data extraction, transformation, and semantic chunking.
• Build modular, reusable AI components and integrate them with backend APIs, vector stores, and network telemetry pipelines.
• Collaborate with other AI engineers to create multi-agent workflows, including planning, refinement, execution, and escalation steps.
• Translate GenAI prototypes into production-grade, scalable, and testable services in collaboration with platform and engineering teams.
• Work with frontend developers to design agent experiences and contribute to UX interactions with human-in-the-loop feedback.
• Stay up to date on trends in LLM architectures, agent frameworks, evaluation strategies, and GenAI standards.

Requirements

• Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in ML/AI engineering, including 2+ years working with transformer models or LLM systems.
• Strong knowledge of ML fundamentals, with hands-on experience building and deploying traditional ML models.
• Solid programming skills in Python, with experience integrating AI modules into cloud-native microservices.
• Experience with LLM frameworks (e.g., LangChain, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, Haystack), and vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Weaviate, Pinecone).
• Familiarity with prompt engineering techniques for system design, memory management, instruction tuning, and tool-use chaining.
• Strong understanding of RAG architectures, including semantic chunking, metadata design, and hybrid retrieval.
• Hands-on experience with data preprocessing, ETL workflows, and embedding generation.
• Proven ability to work with cloud platforms like AWS or Azure for model deployment, data storage, and orchestration.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, including cross-functional work with product managers, network engineers, and backend teams.

Benefits

• Health insurance
• Retirement plans
• Flexible work arrangements
