ML Engineer, Zee

Build Zee, the AI co-pilot embedded across the Zela dashboard. From inbox triage to brand-pitch drafting in the creator's own voice, Zee is the hands-on assistant our creators rely on.

What you'll do

  • Own the Zee AI stack end to end: model selection, prompting, fine-tuning, evaluation
  • Ship features creators trust: pitch drafting, inbox triage, scheduling, anomaly detection
  • Build the personalization layer that adapts Zee to each creator's brand voice
  • Lead the model-cost vs quality trade-off conversations
  • Make privacy a feature, not an afterthought; build clear user-facing controls

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years building production LLM features
  • Strong Python + TypeScript
  • Hands-on experience with prompt engineering, evals, RAG, fine-tuning
  • Care deeply about the human side of AI products

Bonus, not required

  • Published work on creator AI tools
  • Open-source contributions to AI tooling
  • Multilingual (especially in a creator-market language)
