Oakwell Hampton Group
Member of Technical Staff - ML
Oakwell Hampton Group, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
Specialist Recruiter | Python, Machine Learning & AI Talent for High-Growth Teams
My client is hiring a Founding Member of the Technical Staff, Machine Learning, to help build frontier AI systems applied to complex engineering and reasoning domains. This role is designed exclusively for candidates coming from top tier AI research labs or equivalent frontier environments.
This is a hands‑on, 0 to 1 role with ownership across model development, post‑training, and production deployment. You will work at the cutting edge of large language models, reinforcement learning, and multi‑agent systems, with direct impact on how these systems are designed, trained, and scaled in real‑world use.
Key Roles and Responsibilities
Train and post‑train advanced ML models for reasoning, structured generation, and tool use
Own reinforcement learning workflows including reward modeling, environment design, and scaling
Design and implement multi‑agent systems that reason, generate, and verify outputs
Build end‑to‑end ML pipelines covering data curation, training, evaluation, and deployment
Prototype rapidly, benchmark rigorously, and push models toward production readiness
Optimize models and systems for performance, latency, and cost under real constraints
Collaborate closely with engineers and domain experts to integrate ML into production workflows
Influence core architectural decisions across ML systems and infrastructure
Ideal Candidate
Background at a frontier AI research lab or equivalent environment only
Proven experience taking ML models from research through real‑world deployment
Deep hands‑on expertise in reinforcement learning and post‑training beyond publication work
Strong experience training and fine‑tuning LLMs or code models for reasoning and structured tasks
Practical experience with distributed training and serving systems and local model deployment
Builder mindset with the ability to move quickly from prototype to production
Comfortable operating with high ownership and ambiguity in an early‑stage environment
Seniority level Mid‑Senior level
Employment type Full‑time
Job function Information Technology
Industries Staffing and Recruiting
Base pay range: $300,000.00/yr – $500,000.00/yr
