Role Overview
We are looking for a Senior AI/ML Engineer to join our team, building and operating AI systems that power our digital forensics capabilities; our work ranges from model training and evaluation through deployment, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, and agentic workflows. You will own complex initiatives end-to-end, shipping AI-powered systems that surface critical leads and insights for investigators, helping them solve cases faster and with greater confidence. You’ll work closely with Product, UX, and other engineering teams to ensure our models and systems advance what’s possible while meeting real-world constraints.
What You’ll Do
Own complex AI/ML initiatives from ideation through experimentation, evaluation, deployment, and handoff for integration;
Design and prototype agentic workflows where models reason, plan, call tools, and collaborate with other systems to accomplish complex tasks;
Train, fine-tune, or adapt models when the problem demands it, and know when a well-designed system beats a bigger model;
Work with complex, real-world datasets, developing pre-processing, augmentation, and evaluation techniques that enhance model quality and fairness;
Collaborate cross-functionally with other engineering teams to ensure models and systems are production-ready, observable, scalable, and meet real user needs;
Contribute to reusable engineering infrastructure that accelerates experimentation, evaluation, and deployment;
Embed ethical, responsible, and secure AI practices into design, evaluation, and deployment decisions, raising concerns early when they surface;
Mentor other engineers at different levels on experimental design, evaluation methodology, and technical decision-making. Helping the team to level up by establishing patterns and best practices.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of professional experience in ML or applied AI (or equivalent depth demonstrated through delivered work), with a track record of delivering models or AI systems into production;
Demonstrated depth inat least one of: model training and evaluation, agentic system design, or retrieval and evaluation architecture, with working familiarity across the other areas;
Experience evaluating ML/AI systems. Designing representative evaluation distributions, checking that training signals or metrics reflect the actual outcome you care about;
Comfortable working with large, complex, and/or unstructured datasets, with a strong understanding of trade-offs between model quality, cost, inference speed, and system complexity;
Proficiency in Python and working fluency with modern ML/AI frameworks and tooling (e.g., PyTorch, inference servers, LLM/agent frameworks);
Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills; comfortable working with Engineers, Researchers, Product, and Design;
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to Have Skills
Familiarity with vector databases, embedding models, and context retrieval strategies;
Background in NLP, computer vision, or other relevant ML domains;
Familiarity with MLOps tooling (e.g., experiment tracking, model versioning, CI/CD for ML);
Contributions to open-source ML/AI projects or publications in peer-reviewed venues;
Experience working with cloud providers like AWS or Azure; or other relevant production AI/ML infrastructure;
Experience working with AI tools as part of your development workflow (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot, etc.)

Indicators of Success
We’re looking for someone who checks off most, but not all, of the boxes listed in “skills and experiences”. It’s more important to us to find candidates who can display indicators of success through skills they have developed and experiences they have been a part of, than to find folks who have ‘been there, done that”. We want to be part of your development journey, and we’ll learn as much from you as you learn from us.

These in-person moments help us build stronger connections, spark new ideas, and celebrate our successes together. Most days, you can choose what works best for you, while staying in tune with your team’s goals.
We’re excited to welcome you to our team and look forward to achieving great things together - both in the office and wherever you work best!
