Job description

STATIONED embeds engineers directly inside companies to help them get real value out of their data and AI investments — not theoretical, not experimental, but production-grade work that moves a business metric. As an ML/Data Engineer, you will work across a portfolio of companies, get inside their data, and build the pipelines, models, and systems that make AI actually work in practice. You are not here to write a report about what they should do. You are here to build it.

This role is a fit if you

• Can walk into a company, understand their data landscape fast, and identify where ML or AI creates real leverage
• Are comfortable owning the full stack — data pipelines, model integration, evaluation, and delivery — without a large team behind you
• Already use AI and LLM tools in your own workflow and think about how to augment ML systems with them
• Thrive moving across different industries, data types, and problem shapes back to back
• Can communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders about what the data says and what it can and cannot do
• Would rather ship a working model that helps someone than pursue the theoretically optimal one indefinitely

This role is not a fit if you

• Need months of data access and ramp time before you can produce anything
• Are only comfortable working on well-structured, clean datasets handed to you by someone else
• Want to research and experiment without a delivery expectation
• Are looking for a big-company job with big-company structure and specialization

What we are looking for

• Strong hands-on experience with data pipelines, ETL, and working with messy real-world data — you know how to get it into shape fast
• Experience integrating ML models or LLMs into production systems that real users or workflows depend on
• Fluency with Python and the core ML/data stack: you know your way around pandas, SQL, and at least one ML framework without needing to look everything up
• Ability to scope and size a data or ML problem quickly — you can tell early when something is feasible and when it is not
• Client-facing confidence: you can run a data discovery conversation, ask the right questions, and leave knowing what to build
• You use AI tools as a genuine multiplier in your own work — agents, LLM APIs, coding assistants — not just as a novelty

Bonus

• Experience with vector databases, embeddings, or RAG architectures in a production context
• Background working across multiple industries or company types — healthcare, fintech, consumer, logistics
• Experience fine-tuning or evaluating LLMs for specific business use cases
• Public builds, repos, notebooks, or writing that shows how you think about data and models
