  • Collaborate closely with engineering and product teams to deploy ML capabilities into production.
  • Contribute to pioneering research in ML and NLP, driving methodological advancements.
  • Mentor engineers and help shape technical best practices across the organisation.

What Were Looking For

  • Advanced degree in Computer Science or a related field (PhD preferred).
  • 6+ years of industry experience building and deploying machine learning models at scale.
  • Deep expertise in LLMs, Mixture-of-Experts architectures , and modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
  • Demonstrated innovation through impactful research, patents, or production-grade ML systems.
  • Ability to lead complex, cross-functional technical initiatives.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for pushing the boundaries of AI.
  • Bonus Skills

  • Publications or conference presentations at leading ML / NLP venues such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, EMNLP, NACL, ACL, EACL, CoNLL , or similar.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and distributed computing tools (Spark, Hadoop).
  • Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Why Youll Love It

    Youll join a team that embodies transparency, ownership, tenacity, and humility - values that guide both technical decision-making and collaboration.

    Youll also enjoy :

  • Competitive compensation and performance incentives
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
  • Monthly wellness stipend + annual continuing education credit
  • A flexible work environment and unlimited approved PTO
  • Parental and bereavement leave and other employee support programs
  • This role is hybrid in Austin with relocation assistance offered for the right candidate.
