Overview

Atlassian supports distributed work: Atlassians can choose where they work—office, home, or a hybrid. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually as part of being a distributed-first company.

About The Role

We are looking for an experienced Principal engineer in the ML/AI domain to drive the vision, development, and launch of AI-powered products and platforms at Loom. You will lead initiatives across two key areas:

• AI Foundation - Building scalable AI infrastructure and tools to expedite the development of AI-powered features across Loom's product teams.
• NextGen AI - Exploring cutting-edge AI applications (e.g. chatbot experiences, generative AI features) to shape the future of our products.

This role requires strong technical leadership with a balance of hands-on engineering and strategic decision-making and cross-functional collaboration to ensure successful end-to-end delivery of AI solutions.

Joining Loom is an opportunity to be at the forefront of industry transformation - how video is used at work and how AI can leapfrog video creation, editing and consumption. In this role, you will lead foundational AI investments and ship innovative product experiences powered by generative AI across the product.

Responsibilities

• Define the technical vision and roadmap for AI Foundation and NextGen.
• End-to-end ownership - from prototyping and development to productionization.
• Hands-on work in prompt engineering, model iteration, and training/inference systems.
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and UX to align on priorities and deliver measurable impact. Facilitate product and technical decisions, ensuring alignment with business goals.
• Drive platformization of AI/ML systems to improve scalability, reliability and adoption across teams.
• Partner with customer teams to understand needs, build relationships, and expand the scope of AI adoption.
• Explore and apply state-of-the-art AI/ML techniques to solve novel product challenges. Evaluate in-house model development vs. third-party APIs for ML/AI solutions.
• Establish best practices for AI development, quality measurement, monitoring and scalability.

Qualifications

• Must-Have:
  • 7+ years of experience in machine learning engineering, including hands-on work with training/inference pipelines, prompt engineering, and ML systems, demonstrating deep expertise in applied ML.
  • Proven track record of tech-leading AI/ML products from conception to launch.
  • Strong platform mindset - experience building reusable tools/infras to accelerate AI development.
  • Strong programming skills in JS and Python.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Nice-to-Have:
  • PhD or MS in a relevant field.
  • Background in ML modeling (training/finetuning ML models).
  • Experience with chatbots, generative AI, or LLM-powered applications.
