About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with product, design, and engineering teams to identify high-impact AI/ML opportunities

  • Develop and scale AI/ML infrastructure that powers both internal tooling and customer-facing features
  • Tackle novel UX problems at the intersection of AI, BI, and apps

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field (required)
  • 10+ years of experience building and deploying production-grade AI/ML systems
  • Deep knowledge of machine learning, deep learning, and applied AI
  • Experience across the full ML lifecycle: data curation, training, deployment, monitoring
  • A track record of building things that ship—whether it’s recommendations, search, machine translation, or something equally complex
  • Experience adapting or training foundation models (language or multimodal) for novel domains

Bonus Points

  • You've built agents that can plan, reason, and use tools
  • You know your way around cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • You’ve worked in a fast-moving startup or high-growth environment
