# AI Systems & ML Engineering Industry Expert [Tripleten](https://gurify.com/jobs?q=Tripleten) · London, United Kingdom · Posted yesterday Remote [AI & ML](https://gurify.com/jobs/ai-ml) [Apply on the original posting → (opens in a new tab)](https://www.comeet.com/jobs/tripleten/98.008/ai-systems--ml-engineering-industry-expert/96.174-2F.402) ## Job description 🤓 TripleTen is an EdTech company that designs and runs tech career learning programs for the US and Latin American markets. We've been doing it for over five years, teaching complete beginners — people with no prior tech background — through cohort-based programs built on our own platform and curriculum, developed in partnership with Nebius AI. Our team is fully remote and globally distributed, and we serve a large, active student base across both regions. We're launching three advanced engineering programs for working mid/senior engineers, and we're looking for a small number of Industry Experts to set the technical bar in each of them. This is not a teaching or content-authoring role. The curriculum is built by a separate team of senior authors. What we need from you is judgment: the kind of call a Staff or Principal engineer makes when they look at a design and know, in thirty seconds, that the service split is wrong, the eval is measuring the wrong thing, or the scope will not survive contact with a client. Our students design and defend real systems. Your role is to challenge those decisions the way you'd challenge a peer's — and to be the name that tells an experienced engineer this program is worth their time. ### The audience Working mid- and senior-level engineers, typically 5–10 years in: backend, platform, ML, and infrastructure people, with senior and staff titles and the occasional engineering manager in the room. Many write production code daily. They are not career changers, and they spot shallow feedback instantly. The bar here is real seniority, not familiarity with the topic. ### What you will do - Sit on final project defenses. Review a deployed system, a distributed-systems capstone, an agentic architecture, or a client-facing delivery package against the rubric — then run the defense and give structured, senior-level critique. - Chair mock review boards and executive-panel presentations. Architecture review boards, model and system reviews, exec go/no-go presentations, depending on the program. - Host one or two live sessions a month on the design and decision layer of your domain: where systems split, how they fail, which tradeoff to make and why. - Set the technical standard for the instructors running weekly delivery, and act as their escalation point on the hard design calls. You are not on the hook for weekly coverage, office hours rotations, or first-line questions. A separate team handles that. ### Requirements - 8+ years of professional engineering experience, currently at senior/staff/principal level or equivalent (Staff/Principal Engineer, Senior/Staff ML Engineer, Solutions Architect, Forward Deployed Engineer, technical lead). - You've shipped systems that run in production at real scale, as an employee in an engineering role — not coursework, not side projects, not a slide deck about someone else's platform. - You can explain why a decision was made, not just how it was implemented — and diagnose and critique someone else's architecture live, on a call, without preparation. - A public technical footprint: GitHub, conference talks, a book or O'Reilly/Manning title, a technical blog, open-source work, or documented mentorship. - Strong English (C1+). Sessions and written reviews are in English for a US-based audience. - Time zone: Americas strongly preferred (US / Canada / LatAm). Defenses are booked in advance, so some flexibility exists — but sessions land in US afternoon and evening hours. - Comfortable using AI tools in day-to-day technical work. ### Domain depth — one of three tracks You don't need all three. Tell us which one is yours. AI/ML Engineering. Agentic systems and orchestration (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, ADK), agent reliability and guardrails, MCP; LLM evals — eval harnesses, LLM-as-judge, hallucination metrics; applied fine-tuning (SFT/LoRA/PEFT); LLM observability, A/B experiment design, model serving and inference cost. AI Systems Engineering. System and API design, service architecture, cloud and infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD), distributed systems, observability and incident response — plus LLM-powered systems in production: RAG, model serving, fallback paths, cost control. Forward Deployed Engineering. End-to-end ownership of deployments in real client or enterprise environments: discovery and scoping under ambiguity, stakeholder management without formal authority, integration with enterprise systems, rollout and adoption — on top of LLM and agent systems in production, RAG over enterprise data, and APIs/integrations. ### Nice to have - You've already run technical sessions in some form: internal tech talks, conference workshops, engineer onboarding, or mentoring. - Hands-on ownership of an eval or observability stack in production, not just usage of one. - Experience being the primary technical resource embedded with a customer team (for the FDE track). ### What we can offer you - Your name and profile featured as an Industry Expert on the program page. - A peer-level audience. A defense is a technical review with a working engineer, not homework grading. - A genuinely small commitment. 4–10 hours a month, slots booked about two weeks ahead, pausable at any time. - Hourly payment, negotiable depending on experience, track, and scope. - Fully remote, with a small international team and no micromanaging. **Live in Tripleten’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role. We remove it as soon as it disappears at source. ## More jobs like this - BJ [Engineering Manager - AI Payments App](https://gurify.com/job/engineering-manager-ai-payments-app-at-bjak-81b1ec240d37) Bjak · United Kingdom · last week - BJ [Engineering Manager - AI-Native Email App](https://gurify.com/job/engineering-manager-ai-native-email-app-at-bjak-ff967cbd044a) Bjak · United Kingdom · last week - BJ [Engineering Manager - AI-Native Email App](https://gurify.com/job/engineering-manager-ai-native-email-app-at-bjak-6f98594c9786) Bjak · United Kingdom · last week - PL [Senior Applied AI Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/senior-applied-ai-engineer-at-pleo-e7645c9ae3a5) Pleo · London · last week - SC [Engineering Manager, Infrastructure](https://gurify.com/job/engineering-manager-infrastructure-at-scaleai-6c1004473ccf) Scaleai · London, United Kingdom · 4 weeks ago - BL [AI DevOps Engineer](https://gurify.com/job/ai-devops-engineer-at-bluecrestcapitalmanagement-b926ee977b64) Bluecrestcapitalmanagement · London, United Kingdom · 2 days ago ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org/","@type":"JobPosting","title":"AI Systems \u0026 ML Engineering Industry Expert","description":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0026#129299; TripleTen is an EdTech company that designs and runs tech career learning programs for the US and Latin American markets.
