- Develop internal research infrastructure for experiment tracking and dataset management
- Bridge offline model research with live product performance
- Document experiments and findings as internal knowledge base
What they're looking for
- Machine learning research and implementation
- Multimodal data handling and preprocessing
- Model architecture design and evaluation
- AI-assisted coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex)
- Fast prototyping and iteration
- Critical evaluation of benchmarks and representations
- Self-directed problem-solving
- Signal processing on heterogeneous data
Benefits
- Complete ownership and autonomy from day one
