About the role
- We are seeking a senior, product-minded Software Engineer with deep experience in algorithms, machine learning, and edge AI.
- In this role, you will take ambiguous customer and product needs, model the underlying technical problem, and translate solutions into reliable, production-ready code that runs across mobile, embedded, and cloud environments.
- This role is ideal for someone who can move fluidly from problem definition to modeling, experimentation, implementation, deployment, telemetry, and iteration.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, deploy, and iterate on algorithms and ML models across mobile, embedded, and cloud platforms.
- Partner with Product Managers, Designers, and Engineering stakeholders to translate customer needs into clear algorithmic requirements.
- Design and maintain input/output data schemas to support efficient edge-to-cloud telemetry, diagnostics, model retraining, and continuous improvement.
- Optimize deployed algorithms for latency, battery usage, communication efficiency, robustness, and intended product behavior.
- Build processes to monitor model performance, data drift, model drift, and concept drift over time.
- Collaborate with Cloud and Data Engineering teams on data pipelines that support model development, validation, deployment, and retraining.
- Support algorithms used in customer-facing products as well as factory, manufacturing, and validation workflows.
- Manage technical priorities, project timelines, and trade-offs in a fast-moving product development environment.
- 5+ years of professional experience building algorithms, ML systems, or production software for mobile, embedded, cloud, or connected products.
- Practical knowledge of algorithm development, model building, or signal-processing workflows using tools such as MATLAB, NumPy, SciPy, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar frameworks.
Nice to have
- Exposure to real-time operating systems, embedded Linux, iOS, Android, hardware-in-the-loop systems, simulation environments, factory production, or manufacturing validation workflows is a plus.
Compensation
- The salary for this position ranges from $170,000 - $205,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications.
Benefits
- Robust health coverage - excellent health, dental, and vision insurance covered up to 100% by ALSO, with FSA & HSA options
- One Medical membership and dedicated insurance advocates
- Rich fertility and family-building benefits with Progyny
- Flexible time off
- Domain knowledge in one or more areas such as mobility, IoT, automotive, fitness, wearables, robotics, consumer electronics, or connected devices.
