About this role
Role Overview
- The Senior AI/ML Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and deploying Natera’s Generative AI and Machine Learning platforms.
- Design, build, and scale enterprise-grade AI/ML systems that power internal workflows (R&D, Lab Ops, Clinical Trials, Billing, Patient/Provider engagement) and external-facing AI/ML platforms.
- Design and build cutting-edge AI solutions leveraging agentic architecture, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector search, feature stores, LLMOps, experimentation, observability, and compliance-first AI pipelines.
- Development of a production-ready Generative AI and MLOps platform with reusable components used to deploy multiple AI solutions across Natera’s business units.
- Develop clear standards and best practices established for AI/ML development across the organization.
Requirements
- 8+ years in software/ML engineering, with 5+ years in ML engineering at scale.
- Expertise in building production-grade ML/LLM systems on AWS tech stack (Python, TensorFlow/PyTorch, Spark, MLflow/Kubeflow, vector DBs).
- Proven track record with GenAI/LLMs: fine-tuning, RAG, prompt orchestration, agentic systems, safety guardrails, monitoring, and cost optimization.
- Hands-on with RAG systems (embeddings, vector DBs, retrieval policies) and LLM runtime operations (caching, quotas, multi-model routing).
- Experience building agentic AI platforms (LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, or custom).
- Deep knowledge of data-intensive systems, distributed architectures, and cloud-native development.
- Strong grounding in compliance-first engineering in healthcare, biotech, or diagnostics preferred.
- Track record building secure, compliant data/AI systems and automating policy checks.
- Excellent ability to influence across teams, mentor engineers, and set technical standards.
