Founded in Palo Alto by Dr. Andrew Ng and Israel Niezen, Factored helps U.S. companies build and scale world-class AI, ML, and Data teams, powered by the top 1% of LATAM talent, with a defining purpose: To empower brilliant humans, unleash their potential, and amplify their impact in the world.

At Factored, you’ll be part of a community that values learning, ownership, and authenticity, where your growth is personal and your ideas matter. We’re transparent, curious, and collaborative. We strive for excellence, celebrate diversity, encourage curiosity, and build an environment where you can truly thrive.

We are seeking a skilled Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join our team, with a specialized focus on agentic workflows. The ideal candidate will have experience designing, developing, and deploying systems that transition LLMs from passive responders to autonomous agents capable of planning, tool-use, and self-correction.

Functional Responsibilities:

  • Architect how the agent breaks down a complex user request into a series of actionable sub-tasks.
  • Develop "Plan-and-Execute" or "ReAct" (Reason + Act) patterns where the model thinks before it acts.
  • Design robust systems to maintain "short-term memory" across long-running tasks, ensuring the agent doesn't lose track of its goal or get stuck in infinite loops.
  • Create the interface between the LLM and external software, databases, or APIs.
  • Standardize how the agent calls functions, interacts with legacy systems, or executes Python code in a sandboxed environment.
  • Implement error-handling and self-correction.
  • Build custom evaluation frameworks to measure trajectory success—not just whether the final answer was right, but if the steps taken to get there were efficient and safe.
  • Set up monitoring to visualize the agent's "thought process" and identify exactly where a multi-step workflow broke down.
  • Ensure the agent doesn't "hallucinate" tool usage or take unintended actions through strict guardrails and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) checkpoints for high-stakes decisions.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience developing and deploying machine learning models in production environments.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, system design, OOP, and API design & integration.
  • Proven experience designing and implementing agentic architectures, including multi-agent workflows, tool-calling, state management, and human-in-the-loop patterns.
  • Expertise in integrating Generative AI frameworks and APIs (such as LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI, and Claude) into production-grade applications.
  • Strong understanding of LLM fundamentals, systematic prompt engineering (chain-of-thought, few-shot), and debugging tools like LangSmith or Arize Phoenix.
  • Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Milvus, Qdrant) for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and long-term agent memory.
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure for deploying AI workloads.

Our Benefits:

  • Ownership through equity participation.
  • Annual company retreat.
  • Education bonus for continuous learning.
  • Company-wide winter break.
  • Paid time off.
  • Optional in-person events and meetups.
  • Tailored career roadmaps.
  • High-performance culture.

At Factored, we believe that passionate, smart people expect honesty and transparency, as well as the freedom to do the best work of their lives while learning and growing as much as possible. Great people enjoy working with other passionate, smart people, so we believe in hiring right, and are very selective about who joins our team. Once we hire you, we will invest in you and support your career and professional growth in many meaningful ways. We hire people who are supremely intelligent and talented, but we recognize that intelligence is not enough. Perhaps more importantly, we look for those who are also passionate about our mission and are honest, diligent, collaborative, kind to others, and fun to be around. Life is too short to work with people who don’t inspire you.  
 
We are a transparent workplace, where EVERYBODY has a voice in building OUR company, and where learning and growth are available to everyone based on their merits, not just on stamps on their resume. As impressive as some of the stamps on our resumes are, we recognize that human talent and passion exist everywhere, and come from many backgrounds, so stamps matter much less than results. All of us are dedicated doers and are highly energetic, focusing vehemently on execution because we know that the best learning happens by doing. We recognize that we are creating OUR COMPANY TOGETHER, which is not only a high-performing fast-growing business but is changing the way the world perceives the quality of technical talent in Latin America. We are fueled by the great positive impact we are making in the places where we do business and are committed to accelerating careers and investing in hundreds (and hopefully thousands) of highly talented data science engineers and data analysts. 
 
In short, our business is about people, so we hire the best people and invest as much as possible in making them fall in love with their work, their learning, and their mission.  When not nerding out on data science, we love to make music together, play sports, play games, dance salsa, cook delicious food, brew the best coffee, throw the best parties, and generally have a great time with each other.
