About the role

  • Design, build, and deploy AI safety and security solutions directly inside customer environments.
  • Apply state-of-the-art deep learning methods to turn ambiguous, high-stakes problems into production-grade models and systems.
  • Implement data pipelines, model serving, and evaluation frameworks.
  • Adapt and fine-tune models to domain-specific data and performance requirements.
  • Work with customer teams to understand data constraints, and operational realities.
  • Translate real-world problems into well-scoped proofs-of-concept and deployment architectures.
  • Act as the primary AI/ML technical owner for customer projects, rapidly identifying, scoping, and solving technical issues.
  • Develop proofs of concept quickly to validate technical feasibility and customer value.
  • Iterate based on user feedback, empirical results, and changing requirements.
  • Balance speed with long-term maintainability.
  • Partner with sales, product, research, and platform teams.
  • Communicate findings, tradeoffs, and recommendations.
  • Contribute learnings from deployments back into core product and platform development.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience in collaborative environments, working closely with cross-functional teams like data scientists, software engineers, and product managers.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently in ambiguous environments and take full ownership of outcomes.
  • Hands-on experience in building and deploying machine learning models and systems.
  • Demonstrated expertise in designing, training, and deploying deep learning models with frameworks like PyTorch.
  • Demonstrated experience programming in Python and C++.
  • Practical experience in developing scalable machine learning pipelines and integrating them with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • In-depth knowledge of neural network architectures, such as sequence models, transformers, and other state-of-the-art approaches.
  • Strong algorithmic problem-solving skills and comprehensive knowledge of ML theory and optimization techniques.
  • Proficiency in data preprocessing and transformation, and handling large-scale datasets with multiple modalities.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Engineering, or a related technical field is required.
Benefits
  • 401k with up to 4% matching
  • 28 days annual leave (vacation + holidays)
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Catered lunches (Pittsburgh office)
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Visa sponsorship available for exceptional candidates
