Staff AI/ML Engineer, Data Products & AI

Meet the team:

Our R&D organization is building the next generation of AI-powered experiences for people managing their health. As a Staff AI/ML Engineer in the Data Products & AI group, you set technical direction for production AI/ML systems that span multiple teams and products, owning the full lifecycle from problem framing and model design through evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and continuous optimization. You’ll combine deep expertise in modern AI, including foundation models, generative AI, and predictive modeling, with strong software engineering to turn emerging AI capabilities into reliable, safe, and valuable product features, and you’ll raise the technical bar for the engineers around you.

You’ll work at the intersection of research and production, shaping strategy and technical standards across the group while partnering with engineers, product managers, and clinical, regulatory, and commercial stakeholders to ship AI systems at scale. In doing so, you’ll help position Dexcom as an industry leader in health AI and empower millions of customers to take control of their health.

Where you come in:

· You set technical direction for and architect end-to-end AI/ML capabilities that span multiple teams and products, from concept and experimental design through production deployment, writing reusable, production-quality code and reference implementations others build on.

· You take on the most complex and ambiguous modeling problems, building and optimizing AI/ML features powered by predictive models or generative AI such as large language models (LLMs), and improving behavior through model selection, prompting, retrieval, feature engineering, fine-tuning, or retraining.

· You define evaluation and safety standards for the group, establishing metrics, benchmarks, and monitoring, anticipating model and system risks, and driving mitigations and responsible-AI practices across teams.

· You shape technical strategy and roadmap, balancing model performance, latency, cost, safety, and regulatory requirements, and connecting technical decisions to commercial and clinical impact.

· You raise the engineering bar across the group, improving the training, serving, and CI/CD pipelines and the standards, patterns, and infrastructure that keep AI/ML systems reliable, observable, and cost-effective at scale.

· You partner with and influence cross-functional stakeholders, including R&D, Commercial, Product, Legal, and Regulatory, aligning technical direction with company strategy and the highest safety standards.

· You mentor and provide technical guidance to other engineers, and communicate complex methods and results clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership.

What makes you successful:

· You love being on the cutting edge of AI/ML, are eager to learn new technologies as they emerge, and share a passion for Dexcom’s mission and health-sensing applications.

· You have deep, advanced expertise in AI/ML with strong CS fundamentals and extensive hands-on experience with Python and modern AI/ML libraries and frameworks.

· You have a track record of delivering AI/ML systems to production and operating them reliably at scale, including evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and MLOps practices.

· You have experience designing scalable, cloud-based AI/ML solutions and working with large datasets in distributed environments.

· You set and uphold strong software engineering and testing standards, applying engineering rigor to AI/ML work and helping others do the same.

· You have demonstrated technical leadership and influence beyond your own projects, setting direction, driving alignment, and mentoring other engineers.

· You bring a responsible-AI mindset, attentive to model safety, reliability, and risk in regulated, high-stakes settings.

What you’ll get:

· A front row seat to life changing CGM technology. Learn about our brave #dexcomwarriors community.

· A full and comprehensive benefits program.

· Growth opportunities on a global scale.

· Access to career development through in-house learning programs and/or qualified tuition reimbursement.

· An exciting and innovative, industry-leading organization committed to our employees, customers, and the communities we serve.
