WHAT YOU'LL DO
Braze is seeking a Staff Machine Learning Engineer to join our Predictive and Generative AI (PGAI) team. The team's mission is to deliver a truly engaging and personalized customer experience through the creation of ML and AI enhanced marketing solutions. We run those solutions as production systems at global scale, from the distributed pipelines that train models for each customer to the high-throughput APIs that serve predictions into our messaging systems across multiple regions. You will own the platform underneath, and you will make deploying, operating, and scaling ML at Braze fast, safe, and efficient.
As the Staff Engineer on the team, you will:
- Identify and drive the transformative initiatives that change how the team runs ML in production, whether that's replatforming our queueing and orchestration, overhauling deployment and cloud identity, or retiring a generation of infrastructure
- Build and ship at high velocity. Staff at Braze is a hands-on delivery role; you carry the most complex infrastructure initiatives yourself from design through production. Current examples include multi-region model serving fleets, the pipelines that keep hundreds of customer-specific models healthy, and the CI and deployment tooling that moves it all safely
- Own the platform's technical vision and production quality bar. Set direction for how models are trained, deployed, served, and observed; lead incident response for ML systems; and drive the reliability and cost work that keeps the platform efficient at scale
- Drive initiatives that span teams. Our platform builds on shared infrastructure, deployment tooling, and data systems owned with partner teams, and you carry the technical relationships with those teams
- Raise the team's engineering quality through design review, code review, and production readiness for ML systems, and mentor other senior engineers and data scientists
- Connect technical decisions to customer and business outcomes, and represent the team's technical perspective to product and engineering leadership
WHO YOU ARE
- 8+ years building and operating distributed systems in production, with depth in deployment and operations. You have designed services for scale and reliability, owned CI/CD and infrastructure as code, and run what you built under production load
- Hands-on experience with ML workloads in production. Training pipelines, model serving, feature systems, or ML platform tooling all count; deep modeling experience is a plus rather than a requirement
- A technical leader who has owned direction for a team, led multi-quarter initiatives across team boundaries, and grown senior engineers, all while keeping a high personal output
- Deep working knowledge of Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure, including identity and access management, networking, and the cost profile of what you run
- An effective communicator, both verbal and written, whose designs and recommendations build consensus and drive forward decision making
- Bonus:
- Queueing and orchestration systems such as Celery, RabbitMQ, Kafka, or Ray
- ML platform tooling such as MLflow or another model registry, feature stores, or ML observability
- Experience in our stack (Python, Ruby on Rails, MongoDB, Redis, Kubernetes)
- Operating under compliance regimes such as SOX or HIPAA
- Customer engagement, personalization, or marketing technology domain experience
For candidates based in the United States, the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $184,000 and $314,000/year, with an expected On Target Earnings (OTE) between $204,000 and $348,000/year (including bonus or commission). Your exact offer may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to cash compensation, this role qualifies for a comprehensive Total Rewards package that includes equity grants of restricted stock (RSUs) so that you will own a piece of our company.

ML Engineer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a ml engineer in Texas?
ML engineering in Texas does not require a state-issued license. Most Texas employers expect a bachelor's degree in computer science, mathematics, or a related discipline, though many roles at major Texas tech and energy firms specify a master's degree. Building a portfolio of deployed projects, contributing to open-source machine learning repositories, and completing industry-recognized certifications in cloud ML services strengthens a candidacy considerably in this market.
Which companies hire ml engineers in Texas?
Employers hiring ml engineers in Texas right now include Amazon Web Services, Apple, and General Motors, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Texas's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, defense contractors, and large energy firms creates steady demand for machine learning talent across sectors beyond the typical software industry.
Which Texas cities have the most ml engineer jobs?
Austin, Houston, and Plano have the most ml engineer openings in Texas. Austin's dense concentration of tech company headquarters and semiconductor firms drives the bulk of postings there, while Dallas's large enterprise software and financial services sector and Houston's energy and aerospace industries generate consistent demand in those metros.
Are there remote ml engineer jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 68% of ml engineer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of the role involves writing code, running experiments, and reviewing results in cloud environments. Model research and experimentation work tends to be the most remote-friendly, while roles involving on-premises infrastructure or sensitive government and defense data are more likely to require in-office presence.
How can I get hired as a ml engineer in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a data analyst or data engineer role at a Texas employer that has an internal ML platform team, then transitioning once you have hands-on model work to show. Large Texas employers in energy and defense, including firms in the Houston and Dallas corridors, run associate data science programs and rotational engineering tracks that accept recent graduates. Building a public portfolio with end-to-end projects covering data preparation, training, and deployment gives candidates an edge over those with coursework alone.
Where can I find and apply to ml engineer jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to ml engineer jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings updated regularly. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your background and location preference, and apply directly to each employer through the listing.
