      <description>&lt;p&gt;At LTV.ai, we’re redefining customer engagement for e-commerce brands by empowering them with their own AI-powered ambassadors to deliver hyper-personalized Email and SMS interactions at an unprecedented scale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our platform enables brands to communicate with their audience in a natural and contextually relevant manner, driving higher engagement and conversion rates. While increasing LTV and driving measurable growth, we help brands stay focused on what matters most - the customer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why join us?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
We’re a fast-moving team building a high-growth company that’s transforming the e-commerce industry. As an early team member, you’ll play a key role in shaping both our product and the future of e-commerce, with the opportunity to grow alongside us.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Role Responsibilities:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
As a Senior AI / ML Engineer, you’ll be an individual contributor focused on leveling up our AI/ML product experiences and infrastructure. You’ll take core systems from V1 to V2 and beyond - with an emphasis on performance, reliability, and ML-driven value creation for our customers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your scope will include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Evolving our segmentation engine to enable more precise, adaptive audience creation using behavioral, conversational and transactional data.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Improving our product recommendation engine to deliver real-time, context-aware suggestions across messaging channels.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enhancing our personalization engine to dynamically tailor content and offers at scale, with deeper user modeling.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Strengthening AI infrastructure to ensure system reliability, latency improvements, and better orchestration of multi-model pipelines.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Partnering with Product and Engineering to embed ML best practices across our platform, from training workflows to model deployment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Contributing to architectural decisions, experimenting with new approaches (e.g., Retrieval Augmented Generation, vector search), and helping scale our infrastructure intelligently.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What we’re looking for (ideally):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
2 - 3+ years of experience building AI/ML-powered products or infrastructure at scale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Strong understanding of supervised learning, ranking systems, and personalization strategies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hands-on experience with tools like PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, or similar ML libraries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Familiarity with real-time or batch data pipelines, and deploying models in production.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Comfortable optimizing across performance, cost, and user impact.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus:&lt;/strong&gt; Experience in e-commerce, recommendation systems, or LLM-driven workflows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our Stack:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Frontend: React (TypeScript)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Backend: NestJS (TypeScript)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Infrastructure: AWS, managed with Terraform&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Databases: PostgreSQL, ClickHouse&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;ML/AI: Python, Hugging Face, custom pipelines leveraging multiple LLMs&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recent Wins:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Launched a personalization engine that scales to 40M+ users with 10% MoM growth.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Built multi-model orchestration to optimize LLM interactions for cost and accuracy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Partnered with major e-commerce brands like Fabletics and Sur La Table to deliver personalized marketing at scale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Backlog You Might Work On:&lt;br&gt;
Deeper segmentation and dynamic user memory&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Agentic AI workflows for continuous interaction optimization at an individual and brand level&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Embedding-based personalization at the message level&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Real-time model switching and routing infrastructure&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Compensation &amp;amp; Benefits:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Base depends a lot on the person but we reward A players&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Equity included&lt;/p&gt;
