You'll join a small group of engineers and researchers working on applied ML problems that combine pattern recognition, anomaly detection, language modelling and real-time data interpretation. This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll prototype, train, evaluate and productionise models that directly shape the product experience. What you'll work on Designing and implementing ML pipelines for processing a wide variety of semi-structured inputs. Training and adapting large language models to handle classification, extraction and reasoning tasks. Developing methods to identify irregularities, inconsistencies and unusual patterns within customer-supplied data. Improving the performance, latency and reliability of deployed models at scale. Collaborating with software engineers to integrate new capabilities into customer-facing features. Exploring new approaches in multimodal modelling, retrieval-augmented generation and adaptive learning systems. Who you might be Someone with professional experience in ML engineering, data science, applied research or similar. Confident programming in Python and fluent with at least one modern deep learning toolkit. Comfortable working with messy, real-world data rather than clean academic datasets. Experience with information extraction, language models, anomaly detection or data quality modelling is valuable. Interested in joining a company where the ML team has genuine influence over product direction. Enjoys experimentation, iteration and solving problems that don't have an obvious starting point. (No strict requirement on years - strength of experience matters more than time served.) Why this is different You'll work on technically challenging problems where accuracy genuinely matters. The company is scaling quickly and investing heavily in expanding its AI group. You'll collaborate closely with product and engineering leadership, not sit in a research silo. The environment is fast-moving, with opportunities to own projects end-to-end. Generous salary, equity and benefits package. Location & Work Style On-site in San Francisco to support a highly collaborative engineering culture. Hybrid flexibility may be available for senior hires already living in the Bay Area.

    Brahma Consulting Group

    Mechanical design engineer job in San Francisco, CA

    A Product Engineer in this role will focus on building and scaling a high-quality AI agent product with strong UX, full‑stack development, and close user collaboration, and should bring 2+ years of startup experience, strong TypeScript skills, and a deep interest in the AI agent space while helping build “high-taste” products for self-learning AI agents and playing a key role in scaling the product to meet growing customer demand while maintaining an exceptional user experience in a rapidly evolving AI agent ecosystem. Responsibilities Collaborate closely with a product designer to ship new features and refine existing user flows based on customer feedback. Engage directly with customers to understand needs, gather feedback, validate ideas, and pitch new features. Develop core product features across the stack (front-end, back-end, and database work) with a focus on quality and reliability. Experiment with new features and technologies, build quick demos for the team, and productionize promising solutions. Contribute to product and design reviews, ensuring the experience is intuitive, polished, and delightful to use. Requirements 2+ years of experience in product, full‑stack, or front‑end engineering at technology startups (Seed to Series E). Proficiency in TypeScript, with experience either across the stack or in front‑end‑leaning roles. Experience at a high‑taste product company or at an AI/agent‑native startup. Undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. What we're looking for Strong product sense and attention to user experience; you care about how things feel, not just how they work. High agency and ownership mindset-you proactively find problems, propose solutions, and ship iteratively. Genuine excitement about the AI agent space and improving agent behavior for real users. Comfort working in a fast-moving, experimental environment with tight feedback loops from users and teammates.
