Mission Summary:
As a Staff Engineer within the Platform Engineering team, you will be a hands-on technical leader driving the evolution of Motional's global cloud and hybrid infrastructure. Operating as a senior individual contributor, you'll tackle our hardest platform problems directly — designing systems, creating code, and setting technical direction for initiatives that span multiple teams. Your work will help transform our R&D environment into a hardened, cost-efficient, and scalable commercial backbone, and ensure our internal platforms deliver the developer velocity required for rapid AV deployment.
What you'll be doing:
- Design and build major components of our cloud architecture — including networking, storage, compute abstraction layers. You'll own the technical design end-to-end and create code where it matters most
- Drive technical evolution of our Kubernetes-based developer platform. Identify the highest-leverage improvements to scalability, cost attribution, access control, and developer ergonomics — then design and implement them to reduce configuration complexity and accelerate engineering velocity
- Raise the reliability bar across Platform Engineering. Define and implement standards for SLIs, SLOs, observability, and failover, and partner with peer teams to roll them out across platform-layer services
- Drive FinOps practices — cost visibility, attribution, accountability as well as optimization recommendations
- Design and ship AI-native developer experiences by integrating LLM-powered tooling into CI, build systems, monitoring platforms, and local development workflows to remove friction and boost engineering throughput
What we're looking for:
- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)

Omnitag, our ML-powered multimodal data mining framework, is the engine that powers this discovery.
As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer on the Data Mining team, your mission is to build the "Brain" of this engine: designing massive multimodal Teacher models that understand the world, and distilling them into hyper-efficient Student models that can scour exabytes of data in near real-time. You will work at the intersection of large-scale representation learning, retrieval optimization, and reasoning systems. Your work will directly influence how we compress knowledge into efficient encoders for fast search, and how we apply reinforcement learning to optimize data discovery workflows and intelligent querying. By building smarter mining tools, you will accelerate the entire model improvement lifecycle for teams working on post-training analysis, error diagnosis, and dataset curation.
What You'll Do:
- Architect and Train Distilled Models: Design and implement teacher-student model frameworks for multimodal sensor data. Develop training pipelines for knowledge distillation. Ensure student models maintain high accuracy while drastically reducing inference latency and memory footprint.

Implement and scale RL training workflows (e.g., PPO, DQN, actor-critic methods) for simulation and real-world interaction. Explore reward shaping, environment modeling, and multi-agent RL where applicable.
- Optimize Model Deployment for Real-Time Inference: Collaborate with backend engineers to deploy distilled and RL models into production. Optimize for latency, throughput, and hardware efficiency across GPU/CPU clusters. Implement model versioning, A/B testing, and monitoring for performance regressions.
- Research and Integrate Agentic Systems: Explore and prototype agentic workflows for autonomous reasoning, chain-of-thought prompting, and goal-directed behavior. Integrate such systems into our broader autonomy stack as experimental or production components.
- Drive Production Reliability: Establish patterns for graceful degradation, fault tolerance, and cost optimization. Operate Omnitag as a mission-critical data platform serving the entire ML organization, with a focus on reliability, debuggability, and operational excellence.
- Mentor and Collaborate: Work closely with ML scientists, data engineers, and autonomy teams to translate research advances into scalable engineering solutions. Guide junior engineers in best practices for model training, evaluation, and deployment.
What We're Looking For:
- BS in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- 6+ years of hands-on experience in machine learning engineering, with a focus on model post training, optimization, and deployment.
- Strong experience with model distillation or teacher-student training - practical knowledge of loss functions, training strategies, and evaluation of compressed models.
- Proven experience with reinforcement learning in production or research settings: policy optimization, reward design, simulation environments, and RL-based reasoning.
- Expert-level proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX).
- Strong software engineering fundamentals: testing, CI/CD, containerization, and system design.
- Experience deploying ML models in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and optimizing for inference.
- Demonstrated ability to ship production-grade ML systems and mentor team members.
- Demonstrated track record of shipping robust, well-tested, production-grade systems and mentoring junior engineers
Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves):
- MS/PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field.
- Experience with agentic systems, autonomous reasoning, chain-of-thought models, or LLM-based planning.
- Background in autonomous driving, robotics, or real-time decision-making systems.
- Familiarity with multimodal learning, sensor fusion, or embodied AI.
- Experience building active learning loops, using the model to find the data that breaks the model.
- Experience with ML-based data mining, active learning, or contrastive learning.
- Knowledge of model serving tools (TF Serving, Triton, TorchServe) and MLOps platforms.
- Publications or open-source contributions in RL, distillation, or efficient ML.

- Lead a team of content developers and knowledge specialists, setting clear goals, coaching for growth, and building a culture of quality and ownership
- Own the full content lifecycle: creation, review, approval, publication, versioning, and retirement
- Develop scalable frameworks and governance models for content consistency across business units and geographies
Internal Communications
- Oversee all internal communications to Patient Services teams, including operational changes, policy updates, product launches, and leadership messaging
- Design communication strategies that drive comprehension, adoption, and alignment at scale across a distributed frontline workforce
- Measure communication effectiveness and iterate based on data and team feedback
Cross-Functional Execution & Program Management
- Lead knowledge and communications workstreams for new client and product launches — from requirements gathering through go-live and post-launch optimization
- Partner closely with Operations, Compliance, Legal, Training, Product, and Technology to ensure knowledge content meets regulatory standards and operational realities
- Define, track, and report on team Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) — content accuracy rates, time-to-publish, agent utilization, self-service deflection, and others — to drive continuous improvement
- Build scalable mechanisms to ensure global consistency and quality as the business grows
A successful applicant will fit the following criteria:
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
- 7+ years of experience in knowledge management, content strategy, or related fields, with at least 3+ years managing and developing people
- Demonstrated experience leading AI or technology-forward initiatives in a knowledge, content, or operations context — including hands-on work with LLM tools, AI-assisted authoring, or intelligent search platforms

- Experience operating in regulated industries (healthcare, pharmacy, insurance, or similar), with a rigorous focus on accuracy and compliance
- Comfort working with data — defining KPIs, analyzing content performance, and translating insights into actionable improvements
- Experience with enterprise KM platforms, CMS tools, or contact center knowledge bases (e.g., Guru, Confluence, Salesforce Knowledge, or similar)
- A builder's mindset: you see knowledge infrastructure as a product, not a filing system, and you're energized by the opportunity to modernize how teams work
Onsite & Hybrid Work Requirements (Mandatory):
- Open to remote candidates as well as local candidates in New York, Pittsburgh, or St. Louis
- Remote candidates: Regular onsite travel is required. During the first 60 days, travel onsite twice per month for four consecutive days (Mon–Thu). After 60 days, travel onsite once per month for four consecutive days (Mon–Thu)
- Local candidates: Hybrid schedule with a minimum of three (3) days per week in office
Why Join Us:
It is rare to have a company that both deeply impacts its customers and is able to provide its services across a massive population. At Blink, we have a huge impact on people when they are most vulnerable: at the intersection of their healthcare and finances. We are also the fastest growing healthcare company in the country and are driving that impact across millions of new patients every year.
