Job Description

As a core member of a small, senior ML team, you’ll build and scale real-time ML models that drive intelligent operations and decision-making across the platform. This is a high-impact, hands-on role where your work directly shapes the product and its value to customers.

What you'll do:

• Build, update, improve, and maintain a suite of ML models used by enterprise clients.
• Research, design, and prototype ML models that drive insights across customer data.
• Develop new strategies to use ML to further business goals.
• Collaborate with product and backend teams to ship ML-driven features directly into the SaaS platform.
• Design and develop ML models to extract, classify, and rank metadata signals from large-scale datasets.
• Own the full ML lifecycle: from prototyping → training → evaluation → deployment → monitoring.
• Collaborate closely with the existing ML engineer to increase development velocity.
• Explore and implement new ways to apply ML science to real-world business goals.
• Stay current on ML trends and evaluate how to apply them for strategic advantage.
• Contribute meaningfully to the team’s technical vision and infrastructure.

Qualifications

• 7-9+ years of machine learning engineering experience in B2B SaaS companies.

• Hands-on experience with data pipelines, MLOps, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

• Proven experience deploying ML systems at scale and strong applied background in machine learning with proven hands-on industry experience.

• ML thought leadership in your current or previous roles.

• A solid foundation in applied mathematics: numerical methods, optimization, linear algebra, controls and systems theory and a deep understanding of classical statistical learning theory.

• The ability to translate theory into working results with minimal oversight.

• Philadelphia area-based - Available for 3 days/week onsite in King of Prussia.

• A strong ability to deliver, solve, and iterate in a fast-paced startup environment.

• Proficiency in SQL and at least one additional programming language.

• Low ego, high collaboration - you build with the team and for the problem.

• Demonstrated ability to learn new technical material independently.

Bonus: Backgrounds in data intelligence, finance, insurance, security, or anti-fraud. Experience with geospatial data and deep learning frameworks for multimodal modeling.

Preferred language: Python (but we’re open to exceptional talent regardless of stack).
