About the job
Zyphra is a pioneering artificial intelligence company located in Palo Alto, California, committed to revolutionizing the way humans interact with technology.
About the Position:
As a Machine Learning Engineer at Zyphra, you will play a vital role in advancing our Agentic Systems and Interaction initiatives. You will lead the development of a cutting-edge desktop and browser-based agent designed to autonomously navigate the web, manage filesystem interactions, and execute intricate user tasks. Your responsibilities will encompass frontend interface development, secure sandbox environments, large-scale document search and retrieval, and the integration of language and vision models.
Your Contributions Will Include:
Crafting and implementing an advanced agentic system capable of seamless interactions with browsers, operating systems, and enterprise filesystems.
Developing robust search and retrieval pipelines for expansive structured and unstructured datasets.
Integrating large language models (LLMs), vision models, reinforcement learning, and scaffolding frameworks to facilitate autonomous, multi-step decision-making.
Engineering secure virtualized runtimes and backend services for agent execution.
Demonstrating a strong commitment to building production-grade ML systems that redefine the capabilities of software agents.
Embracing velocity and curiosity, particularly in dynamic and ambiguous settings.
Qualifications:
Expertise in Python and proficiency in building and debugging complex machine learning applications.
Hands-on experience with desktop operating systems (Windows and macOS), including APIs for screen reading, file manipulation, and accessibility frameworks.
Proven track record in developing browser extensions or automation tools with precise control over browser functionalities (mouse interactions, tabs, DOM manipulation).
Solid understanding of large language models (LLMs), prompting strategies, and orchestration frameworks for multi-step reasoning.
Capability to navigate the entire ML stack, from model integration to serving infrastructure.
Experience in designing or working with secure and virtualized execution environments.
Exceptional communication and collaboration skills across product, research, and engineering teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in building or integrating retrieval systems.
