Job Description
Role Overview

Work directly with customers to translate ambiguous dataset needs into concrete technical systems and delivery timelines. Build custom algorithms, models, and large-scale data pipelines spanning computer vision, audio processing, text processing, and metadata analysis.

What You Will Do

Break down customer-level goals into the models, heuristics, infrastructure, and QA steps needed to deliver. Optimize performance through pre/post-processing, parallelism, inference optimization, fine-tuning, and evaluation loops.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Strong Python developer with hands-on experience building custom algorithms, model workflows, or large-scale data pipelines. 1 to 3 years of experience shipping technical work in a startup or high-velocity environment.

Requirements

  • Strong Python developer with hands-on experience building custom algorithms, model workflows, or large-scale data pipelines
  • Comfortable working directly with customers or external teams to translate ambiguous needs into technical systems
  • Deep intuition for dataset quality, filtering, labeling, evaluation, and edge cases
  • Able to move quickly between research prototypes and reliable production systems without creating brittle code
  • 1 to 3 years of experience shipping technical work in a startup or high-velocity environment
