  • Proficiency in selecting and justifying the use of simple models that are effective.
  • Hands-on experience with LLM APIs and fine-tuning for real business applications.
  • Ability to write production-quality code and utilize AI coding tools effectively.
  • Bonus points for knowledge in forecasting, scheduling, or agentic frameworks.

Responsibilities

  • Build machine learning and LLM systems for operational tasks such as forecasting and document extraction.
  • Take ownership of models from problem identification through to deployment and post-launch evaluation.
  • Create systems that ensure operational safety, including authorization and audit mechanisms.
  • Collaborate with data engineering and product teams to integrate predictions into existing tools.

Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Build ML and LLM systems that run inside the company's operations: forecasting build timelines, flagging schedule risk, and extracting structure from vendor documents.
  • Own models end to end, from problem framing and data through deployment, evaluation, and iteration in production.
  • Ship agentic systems with real guardrails, authorization, audit, and evals, so agents act on company systems instead of just advising.
  • Partner with data engineering and product pods to put predictions in the tools people already use.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've shipped ML or LLM features to production and owned them after launch.
  • You've built evaluation harnesses that told you the truth about model quality before users did.
  • You reach for the simplest model that works and can defend the choice.
  • You've worked hands-on with LLM APIs, fine-tuning, or retrieval systems on real business problems.
  • You write production-quality code and work fluently with AI coding tools.
  • Bonus: Forecasting or scheduling problems. Document extraction at scale. Agentic frameworks and MCP. Temporal or workflow engines.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
