About the role

  • This role spans the full ML lifecycle, from dataset development and experimentation to model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
  • You will work both independently and collaboratively across projects involving multimodal classification systems, frontier model evaluations, model distillation research, and agentic workflows.
  • The ideal candidate combines strong engineering fundamentals with a research mindset and enjoys tackling ambiguous, high-impact problems at the frontier of AI.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and improve classification systems for safety, security, abuse detection, and intelligence applications.
  • Design evaluation pipelines, metrics, and testing frameworks to measure model capabilities, reliability, and safety.
  • Build agentic systems and automated workflows for evaluation, red teaming, research, and large-scale experimentation.
  • Own ML projects from initial research and prototyping through production deployment and monitoring.
  • Partner with software engineers to productionize ML systems and support ongoing improvements.
  • You will collaborate closely with researchers, software engineers, red teamers, and subject-matter experts to develop production-ready systems that support leading AI organizations and technology companies.

Requirements

  • Experience working across multiple modalities, with expertise in one or more of:

Nice to have

  • Experience designing evaluation methodologies, benchmarking systems, and model performance metrics.
  • Experience with MLOps tools and practices (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD for ML, MLflow, etc.)
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform (preferred), AWS, or Azure, including ML infrastructure, workflow orchestration, storage, and database services.
  • Experience working with frontier language models, multimodal foundation models, or AI safety evaluations.
  • Prior experience in cybersecurity, trust and safety, abuse prevention, threat intelligence, or related domains.
  • Experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI agent frameworks, and context orchestration systems such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI Agents, or AutoGen.

Compensation

  • Salary Range: $130K-$200K, depending on experience and location
  • Bonus: Performance-based annual bonus

Benefits

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Time Off: Generous PTO and paid holiday schedule
  • image classification, object detection, OCR, segmentation, deepfake detection, multimodal vision-language systems, or related areas.
  • Performance-based annual bonus
  • Design, train, evaluate, and deploy machine learning models across text, image, audio, and multimodal domains.
  • Support for conferences, continuing education, or leadership training
