Founding ML Engineer, Real-Time Forecasting

Tellwise; California (MO); On-site; USD 130,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Tellwise forecasts an individual's cashflow for the weeks ahead. The predictive engine is the product: recurring-pattern detection, trend projection, the confidence band, and the warnings that fall out of it. Every number a warning shows is computed here, not by a language model.

You would be the third engineer. The work decides whether people trust the forecast. A confident number that turns out wrong is worse than a wider range that turns out right.

Qualifications

• Five or more years building systems with real-time or forecasting work.
• Strong opinions about evaluation from experience.
• Proficiency in TypeScript or willingness to learn quickly.
• Appreciation for distinguishing demos from production-ready work.

Responsibilities

• Own the forecast: recurring detection, projection, volatility and the confidence range.
• Build the evaluation set. Every change is measured against histories with known outcomes before it ships.
• Keep the forecast honest when the history is thin or the income is irregular.
• Make ingestion survive the dozen ways banks export a CSV.
