Has Bjak posted this job before?
Yes. We’ve followed 5 other AI Phone - Applied ML / Model Engineer jobs there since November 2026. All 5 are still up.
Large employers often post one title for several teams, so these can be separate openings.
Demand for ML Engineer roles
New ML Engineer postings at the employers we follow are up 12% over the last 5 weeks compared with the 5 before.
Each bar is one week of new postings. The darkest bars are the last 5 weeks.
Counted from the hiring pages we’ve followed for at least five weeks, so employers we add don’t look like growth. Updated weekly.
About the role
We file this job under ML Engineer, by the work the posting describes.
ML engineers put machine learning models into products. They write the code that trains, ships, serves and monitors models so a recommendation or prediction works for real users.
Postings ask for strong Python and software engineering, a framework such as PyTorch, cloud services, and more and more often experience with large language models.
A data scientist often works out which model to build; an ML engineer makes it run reliably in production.

Job description
About
We are reimagining the phone. AI phones need to be proactive, intuitive, intelligent and low cost. This is a mission critical for rest of the world to adopt intelligence.
There are over 5 billion people using everyday applications such as email, messaging, notes, tasks, and calendars, yet most are not AI-native. Our mission is to build proactive applications and devices that bring intelligence into daily conversations, coordination and workflows, with minimal prompting.
Responsibilities
Evaluate existing foundation models (e.g. Qwen, Llama, Gemma and other suitable open-weight models) against our target phone use cases.
Identify which capabilities can be handled by existing models and where additional model adaptation or fine-tuning is needed.
Experiment with SFT, LoRA/QLoRA and other lightweight fine-tuning techniques for specific use cases.
Improve model performance for intent recognition, instruction following, tool calling, structured outputs, and multi-step task execution.
Explore synthetic data generation and dataset construction for phone-specific workflows.
Build evaluation datasets and benchmarks to measure model quality, reliability, and task completion.
Compare different models and approaches, including local versus cloud inference.
Work closely with the Agent Runtime team to improve model performance in actual agent workflows.
Requirements
Strong background in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, or NLP.
Practical experience working with LLMs and open-weight models.
Experience with model fine-tuning, such as SFT, LoRA/QLoRA, and preferably RL or preference optimization.
Experience with PyTorch and common ML tooling.
Understanding of LLM evaluation, benchmarking, and dataset preparation.
Ability to run experiments, analyze model failures, and translate findings into measurable improvements.
Nice to have
Experience with agentic systems, function calling, and tool-use training.
Experience with synthetic data generation and preference datasets.
Experience with model distillation and smaller language models.
Experience with deploying models in production environments.
