About the role

We're looking for a hungry, hands-on AI Engineer to join our data science team.
You'll do the work directly, labeling and reviewing classification data and running QC, but you won't just execute.
You'll bring an engineer's mindset to it: when a task is repetitive, you script it

Build and run quality control checks that catch labeling errors, measure inter-annotator agreement, and surface systematic issues before they reach production.
Document QC processes and annotation guidelines to support team scaling and onboarding.
Teleskope continuously scans, catalogs, and classifies data in-motion and at-rest while automating policy-based actions, helping organizations proactively manage data sprawl while securely enabling AI adoption.
This role is for someone who sees data quality not as a support function but as a force multiplier, and who takes pride in making the people around them more effective.

Familiarity with feedback loops in ML systems and how label quality connects to model performance.
Experience with annotation platforms (Label Studio, Prodigy, Scale, or custom-built systems).
Experience with SQL and building lightweight dashboards to track quality metrics.
Background in NLP or text classification workflows.
A seat alongside data scientists and ML engineers, data-minded people to learn from every day.
Work that visibly matters.
Ownership of the annotation and quality processes that determine classification accuracy across the platform.
Room to grow fast, with real ownership from day one as Teleskope scales.

Recent grads are welcome, and CS and STEM backgrounds are a great fit.
Solid programming ability, with hands-on Python experience and a willingness to dig into scripts, SQL, and data wrangling.
Comfortable using agentic development tools, or eager to ramp up on them fast.
Energized by messy, real-world data and by working alongside other data-minded people.

Flexible vacation and work-from-home days.
Competitive salary and meaningful equity.
Health, vision, dental, 401k, and more benefits, heavily subsidized by Teleskope.
