Founding ML/Data Science Engineer

Location: San Francisco, CA (Hybrid) Employment Type: Full-time

About The Role

Our client is building the revenue execution system for B2B enterprises, tackling the underpenetrated space of post-sales enablement. They are combining LLMs with structured customer data to automate account scoring, cohort segmentation, and expansion playbooks. As a Founding ML/Data Science Engineer, you'll work directly with the founders to architect, build, and scale this platform from 0 to 1, with full ownership of core features.

This role requires a hybrid engineer who can both architect production ML systems and make sophisticated modeling decisions. You'll need to be equally comfortable with classical ML and cutting-edge language models.

Core Responsibilities

• Design end-to-end ML systems, covering model selection, experimentation, and production deployment
• Build feature engineering pipelines to extract signal from both structured business data and unstructured text
• Develop hybrid ML/LLM systems, knowing how and when to leverage traditional ML versus language models for a given problem
• Own the full modeling lifecycle: EDA, feature engineering, training, validation, and drift monitoring
  
  

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in applied ML
• Strong ML fundamentals (gradient descent, regularization, bias-variance tradeoffs)
• Experience with the full spectrum of machine learning: classical ML, deep learning, and LLMs
• Production experience with model serving, feature stores, and training pipelines
• Statistical rigor in experimental design, hypothesis testing, and causal inference
• Proven ability to ship end-to-end ML products
