About the role
- We move fast, think boldly, and empower you to do the best work of your life.
- You'll be surrounded by teammates who care deeply, challenge each other, and celebrate wins.
- With tools that amplify your impact and a culture that backs your ambition, you won't just contribute.
Responsibilities
- You will frame and ship problems nobody has framed yet, such as extraction for companies with no public footprint or semantic intent at web scale, deciding what not to build as deliberately as what to build.
- You will lead design reviews, mentor senior engineers, shape hiring, and represent the team's technical judgment to product and leadership.
Requirements
- You have made cost and capacity decisions for model training and serving, including when to self-host, distill, or call a hosted model, with cost tracked per unit of work.
- You are hands-on in production Python and strong SQL with distributed data processing experience, and you use AI coding tools daily with rigorous review of their output.
- You have experience with ranking and retrieval, including embeddings, learned re-ranking, and metrics such as recall@k, MRR, and nDCG.
- You have trained and served open-weight models in PyTorch or an equivalent framework, including GPU capacity planning.
- You have built user memory or context systems for agents, or defended LLM systems against adversarial inputs and prompt injection.
- Must-Have:
- You have set technical direction as an individual contributor for a problem area spanning more than one team, with the resulting machine learning systems in production and owned after launch - depth of impact matters more than years or past titles.
- You bring breadth across classical machine learning on large, messy tabular data, applied statistics, language processing at scale, and LLM agents or multi-step systems, with recognized depth in at least one.
- You have defined and driven adoption of evaluation standards beyond your own team for systems with no single right answer, including LLM judges validated against human labels and results reported with their limits.
- You have a track record of changing how a group builds or measures - for example, introducing a baseline or review practice that other teams now use.
- Preferred:
- You bring entity resolution, knowledge graph, or web-scale information extraction experience on messy, real-world data.
