Forward Deployed Machine Learning Engineer

Responsibilities

• Find and Unlock Alpha: Go deep on customer problems and data workflows to identify the highest-leverage opportunities others miss, then build the solutions that capture them.
• Ship What's Missing: When the product doesn't cover it, you do. Identify gaps through hands-on customer engagement and implement production-grade ML solutions that fill them.
• Raise the Bar: Develop compelling demos, deliver technical presentations to senior stakeholders, and set the standard for what great looks like across our customer base.
• Own the Outcome: You're not handing off a deck — you're a strategic and technical partner from discovery through deployment, accountable for results.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of industry experience, including 2+ years in a customer-facing technical role.
• Strong software engineering skills and familiarity with ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow).
• Solid understanding of data modeling for training and how curation decisions shape model performance.
• Experience training or fine-tuning models using human feedback, reward signals, or other adaptive learning techniques.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to operate across varied customer environments and tech stacks.
• A mindset of ownership, curiosity, and a bias toward action.

Benefits

• Flexible work: In-person collaboration in the Bay Area, a distributed global-first team, and quarterly offsites.
• Adaption Passport: Annual travel stipend to explore a country you've never visited.
• Lunch Stipend: Weekly meal allowance for take-out or grocery delivery.
• Well-Being: Comprehensive medical benefits and generous paid time off.
