We're looking for an enthusiastic Machine Learning Research Engineer who's excited by the opportunity of being at the forefront of applying machine learning technology to challenging problems. As a ML Research Engineer in the applied research team, you'll be part of a collaborative group who aims to deliver AI projects end to end - everything from data pre-processing and exploration, to prototyping novel algorithmic solutions, to software implementations of machine learning-based products. The goal is to understand the needs of our business partners and bring to life these unique and efficient solutions that can only be achieved through the use of machine learning.

Your responsibilities include:

  • Conducting comparisons to existing algorithms and baselines;

  • Reviewing, extending, and optimizing prototype solutions;

  • Collaborating with the engineering team to integrate algorithms into products;

  • Developing reusable internal tools to facilitate research prototyping; and

  • Supporting projects with thorough documentation, design decisions, and capabilities.

You're our ideal candidate if you have:

  • A master's or PhD degree in computer science, mathematics, physics, economics or equivalent;

  • 2+ years of applied machine learning experience in a high-responsibility, minimal-supervision environment;

  • Experience with writing modular, robust, scalable software in Python 3.x;

  • Expertise in a few of the following areas: deep learning, natural language processing, information retrieval;

  • Experience with deep learning packages such as PyTorch, JAX, or Tensorflow;

  • Knowledge of professional software engineering best practices for the full software development life cycle, including testing methods, coding standards, code reviews, and source control management; and

  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative attitude.

What's in it for you?

  • Become part of a team that thinks progressively and works collaboratively. We care about seeing each other reach full potential;

  • A comprehensive Total Rewards Program including bonuses and flexible benefits, competitive compensation, commissions, and stock options where applicable;

  • Leaders who support your development through coaching and managing opportunities;

  • Ability to make a difference and lasting impact from a local-to-global scale.
