We're assisting a well-funded startup with their search for Machine Learning Engineers.  Their product helps AI teams turn complex documents into LLM-ready inputs with exceptional accuracy.  This role will work onsite in the SF office.
 
What you'll do:
  • Train and deploy new state of the art models for parsing and interpreting unstructured data

  • Experiment with novel techniques to improve LLM accuracy

  • Build data pipelines, evaluate model performance, and integrate models into the product

  • Work directly with the founders and customers to shape the product direction and engineering strategy

Ideal Candidate Traits:
  • You have a high bar for quality and don’t rest until the job is done right—no settling for 90%. We want someone who ships fast, with high agency, and who doesn't just voice problems but actively jumps in to fix them.

  • You have 2+ years of experience with training, fine tuning, and evaluating ML models used in production systems

  • You’re exceptional at Python or similar, and are well versed with both traditional computer vision and VLMs

  • Build your own tools as needed—like a quick Streamlit app to test hypotheses or create a dataset.

  • A quantitative approach to building products. Ability to debug, experiment, and iterate fast. You should be comfortable getting hands-on with the full development lifecycle, from ideation to shipping to users

Nice to haves:
  • Prior experience founding a company or building products at early stages

  • You are ambitious and driven, and care a lot about doing great work with great people

  • You keep up with the latest developments in ML/AI
