As a Principal Machine Learning Engineer in the Confluence AI organization, you will help shape the next generation of AI-powered experiences across Confluence. This is a hands-on principal-level role for an engineer who can turn fast-moving advances in machine learning into high-quality product experiences that reach customers at scale.

Responsibilities

  • Set technical direction for machine learning and AI initiatives that power Confluence experiences across areas such as content creation, editing, summarization, recommendations, and multimodal interaction.
  • Design, build, and evolve production-grade ML systems, evaluation workflows, experimentation loops, and supporting infrastructure that enable reliable delivery of AI features at scale.
  • Lead the development of customer-facing AI capabilities by translating ambiguous product opportunities into practical technical strategies, measurable outcomes, and shipped experiences.
  • Drive advances in areas such as model behavior, retrieval, ranking, prompt and workflow design, automated evaluation, quality measurement, and system reliability.
  • Partner closely with engineering, product, design, analytics, and platform teams to align on priorities, influence roadmaps, and deliver cross-organizational initiatives.
  • Identify systemic product or model failure modes, develop interventions, and close the loop between technical improvements and customer impact through experimentation and data-driven iteration.
  • Contribute as a deeply hands-on engineer when needed, including prototyping, implementation, debugging, and guiding complex production rollouts.
