We are looking for a StaffAI/ML Engineer looking for new and challenging problems. You will support the development of AI/ML algorithms in a multitude of disciplines from large language models, natural language processing, and time-series predictive analytics.

Work within a multidisciplinary team consisting of both developers and researchers. The team’s core focus is the implementation of ETL pipelines to support a variety of AI/ML and LLM solutions, which in turn address a broad range of customer challenges. As an AI/ML Engineer, you will:

• Assemble large, complex sets of datato support AI/ML algorithm implementation
• Build required infrastructure for optimal extraction, transformation and loading of data from various data sources
• Curate and maintain data that is stored in support of metrics and evaluation
• Implement Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning algorithms
• Identify, design, and implement internal process improvements including re-designing infrastructure for greater scalability, optimizing data delivery, and automating manual processes
• Use Agile methodologies to develop software

Required:

• B.S. in Data Science, AI/ML, Computer Science, or related field
• 7+ years of experience, preferably as Data Engineer/Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, or Software Development
• Experience developing data pipelines and normalizing data with canonical Python packages (e.g. Num Py, Pandas, Polars)
• Experience contributing within a team setting using version control (e.g. git, Git Lab, Bitbucket)
• Active TS/SCI U.S. Government Security Clearance with Polygraph

Desired:

• M.S. or PhD in Data Science, AI/ML, Computer Science, or related field
• Experience with Gitlab, Dev Sec Ops  utilizing test-driven development, containers, (e.g. Docker, Docker Compose), cloud services (e.g. AWS), tools for distributed computing (e.g. Spark, Pyspark)
• Experience leading an interdisciplinary team of researchers and software developers
• Experience with any of the following:
• Large Language Models and experience identifying ways to incorporate them into new domains and applications
• Applying Transformer-based architectures to domains in other areas outside of Natural Language Processing (NLP) such as computer vision
• Natural Language Processing algorithms such as BERT
• Reinforcement learning and familiarity with Gymnasium Gym, Open Env, TorchRL, RLlib, and Stable Baselines
• Applying clustering algorithms and/or deep neural networks to real life problems
• Implementing tracking and pattern-of-life algorithms
• Experience with GenAI Ops techniques (e.g. LLM-as-a-judge) and frameworks (e.g. Lang Fuse, MLFlow, Arize Phoenix)
• Experience with Machine Learning libraries and frameworks such as Hugging Face and Lang Chain
• Experience with Linux
• Familiarity with using AWS cloud computing resources such as EC2, S3, Lambda, Bedrock, etc.
• Experience with any of the following additional languages:
  Java, C++, Rust, Go, and/or C#
• Experience implementing algorithms on the GPU in Python or C++ using CUDA and other CUDA libraries
• Experience in application deployment, virtualization, and containerization (e.g. Podman, Docker, Kubernetes, Rancher)
• Experience shaping and writing proposals
