Job description

Join a confidential, high-performing AI innovation lab operating with independent strategy and ownership. This small team of scientists and engineers builds and deploys fully autonomous systems to make high-stakes decisions in complex, real-world domains.

Mission & Product:

This lab is flipping the script on how advanced AI is applied to strategic decision-making. With several billion in assets already under management, the team has progressed from incubation to live deployment, leveraging machine learning to operate in a dynamic, data-rich environment. Their core belief: markets and other decision contexts can be treated as AI problems, understood, modeled, and acted upon by intelligent systems.

Role Summary:

As a Member of Technical Staff, you’ll help bridge the gap between cutting‑edge research and high‑reliability systems. You’ll work side‑by‑side with domain scientists to build platforms and pipelines that take ideas from prototype to production, supporting the full lifecycle of intelligent decision models.

What You’ll Do:

• Partner with researchers to iterate quickly on models, from initial experiments to scalable deployments
• Own the full stack of ML workflows: data ingestion, training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring
• Improve platform capabilities for distributed training and real‑time decision execution
• Tune systems for performance across speed, memory, and throughput
• Build diagnostics and checks that ensure outputs are explainable, stable, and future‑resilient

What You’ll Bring:

• Strong engineering skills with a track record of production‑grade ML system development
• Deep fluency with Python and core ML libraries such as PyTorch, NumPy, and Pandas
• Ability to operate across the full stack: modeling, infrastructure, and deployment
• Comfort with both traditional ML and neural approaches
• Experience in debugging distributed systems and optimizing critical paths
• A clear communicator who thrives in fast‑paced, feedback‑rich environments
• MLflow or similar tools for experimentation and logging

Why Join?

• Drive real‑world impact with full ownership of your work
• Join a small, fast‑moving team with elite talent and strong backing
• Solve problems at the frontier of AI, decision systems, and complex domains
• Enjoy radical transparency, collaborative peer culture, and rapid iteration
• Benefit from exceptional infrastructure, tooling, and strategic technology partnerships
