About the role
- You will have ownership and agency of our systems from end to end - from data collection and evaluation, to model experimentation, to productionizing our systems at scale.
- This is a unique opportunity to have an immense amount of impact on how we evolve our product.
- Our technology stack: Typescript/React (front-end), Golang (backend), Temporal, Google Cloud (GCP), Postgres, Terraform, custom-built AST "code walkers" in various languages (Golang, Typescript, Swift, Python, Rust)
Responsibilities
- You act like an owner. You put immense care and craft into what you build because you take responsibility for all parts of the product. You don't walk past broken windows.
- You care about what we're building.
- This is a deeply cross-functional role where you'll own the ML/AI lifecycle of one of the most critical surface areas of our product: AI Code Review.

Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in applied ML, data science, or ML infrastructure roles.
- Proven track record of designing, training, and deploying ML models in production at scale.
- Deep intuition for model behavior and data representation - you know how to experiment, interpret results, and iterate effectively.
- Hands-on experience with common ML/AI frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow) and working knowledge of LLMs and RAG systems.
- You are extremely high agency.
- Strong skills in data curation and evaluation - understanding what data to collect, how to clean and label it, and how to measure success.
- Experience writing production-grade code and building robust pipelines connecting data → models → backend systems.
- Experience architecting complex distributed systems and optimizing them for performance and reliability.
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-agency startup environment, where priorities shift and you help define what to do next.
Nice to have
- experience with GCP infrastructure, working with Temporal for workflow orchestration, or building internal ML platforms.
- The base pay for the Senior Applied ML Engineer position ranges from $190/year to $300/year.
- Pay is based on several factors and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
- Experience in Golang (the primary language of our backend systems) is a strong plus, but is not required.
Compensation
- The base pay for the Senior Applied ML Engineer position ranges from $190/year to $300/year.
