Tech Stack

About the role

  • Co-develop new capabilities with high-impact enterprise customers along with product, engineering, and design teams using their real workflows and constraints as your testbed
  • Communicate effectively across all levels of the organization
  • Plan and run short, focused design-partner engagements where you ship early versions, collect structured feedback, and iterate quickly
  • Generalize learnings from each design partner into reusable, productized capabilities rather than one-off bespoke models
  • Partner with domain experts to curate high-quality eval guidelines and datasets for domains such as CSAT prediction and outcome prediction
  • Use the best tools and models for the job
  • Write clear specs and experiment reports that make tradeoffs and assumptions explicit
  • Stay close to the research frontier in ML/AI, LLMs, and evals, translating promising ideas into pragmatic, shippable improvements
  • Help translate solutions into publications, whitepapers, technical blogs, etc.

Requirements

  • 3+ years building and shipping models for real-world business applications, ideally in NLP and LLM-based systems
  • Strong proficiency in Python and standard ML / data tooling (e.g., SQL, data pipelines, experiment frameworks)
  • World-class first principles thinking and ML intuition
  • Ability to turn ambiguous product asks into crisp problem statements, eval specs, metrics, and hypotheses
  • Experience working directly with customers or internal stakeholders to understand constraints, explain tradeoffs, and iterate on solutions
  • Comfort working with design-partner style engagements where requirements evolve rapidly and you’re expected to co-create the solution
  • Track record of building evaluation suites that capture reliability, safety, and qualitative user experience
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to clearly explain complex technical work to both engineers and non-technical partners.
Benefits
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with plans to fit you and your family
  • Flexible PTO to take the time you need, when you need it
  • Paid parental leave for all new parents welcoming a new child
  • Retirement savings plan to help you plan for the future
  • Remote work setup budget to help you create a productive home office
  • Monthly wellness and communication stipend to keep you connected and balanced
  • In-office meal program and commuter benefits provided for onsite employees
