Principal Machine Learning Engineer

🧠 Advance GenAI Modeling:

• Design and build novel approaches for knowledge-grounded LLMs, embeddings, and multimodal modeling.
• Explore fine-tuning, post-training, and retrieval-augmented strategies to adapt foundation models to Atlassian’s data.
• Lead technical explorations that expand the frontier of what’s possible in applied generative modeling.

⚡ Prototype & Experiment Rapidly:

• Drive POC experimentation, from agentic workflows to novel GenAI-powered assistants.
• Translate research ideas into fast, working prototypes that demonstrate user value.
• Define and implement evaluation methods (groundedness, hallucination detection, human-in-the-loop) to measure success.

🤝 Provide Technical Leadership:

• Provide technical mentorship to team members.
• Influence design and implementation across retrievers, rankers, orchestration, and serving infrastructure.
• Collaborate with product and platform teams to turn prototypes into scalable systems.

🚀 Shape Innovation Strategy:

• Contribute to the roadmap for advanced GenAI modeling and applied research.
• Partner with peers across Rovo, Jira Search, Knowledge AI, and Platform to drive cross-team impact.
• Champion responsible AI, groundedness, and data quality in all innovations.
