Applied ML Engineer (Speech/ASR/LLMs) - Senior (Brazil / Argentina)

Applied ML Engineer (Speech/ASR/LLMs) - Senior

Remote – Argentina/Brazil
Full-time

About the role

We’re looking for an Applied ML Engineer to lead the development and operationalization of machine learning models powering real-world AI products.

The primary focus of the role will be building and improving speech-to-text (ASR) systems for medical conversations in Brazilian Portuguese and Latin American Spanish, while also contributing to LLM fine-tuning, clinical classifiers, and production ML infrastructure.

This is a highly hands-on role focused on taking models from experimentation to production.

What you’ll do

• Design, train, fine-tune, and deploy ML models for speech and language applications

• Build and maintain training pipelines and evaluation frameworks

• Work on ASR systems for domain-specific medical conversations

• Develop and improve data pipelines and ML infrastructure

• Collaborate on LLM fine-tuning and classifier development

• Optimize model performance, reliability, and scalability

• Partner with product and domain teams to translate business needs into ML solutions

• Contribute to production deployment and monitoring of ML systems

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience building and operationalizing ML models in production

• Hands-on experience with:

  • ASR / speech models / audio ML

  • PyTorch or modern ML frameworks

  • ML infrastructure and distributed training

• Experience building:

  • training pipelines

  • evaluation frameworks

  • production ML workflows

• Strong programming skills in Python

• Ability to work independently in ambiguous environments

• Experience collaborating across technical and non-technical teams

Nice to have

• Experience with:

  • LLM fine-tuning

  • orchestration frameworks

  • clinical or healthcare data

• Experience building data flywheels or feedback loops

• Experience with GPU orchestration and experiment tracking

• Fluency in Portuguese and/or Spanish

Work model

• Remote – Americas

• Preference for candidates located near São Paulo or Medellín (not mandatory)

• Full-time

Note

This is an applied ML engineering role, not a pure research position. We are looking for builders who can take models from experimentation through deployment and production operation.
