Looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to enhance AI capabilities in image analysis and structured data. Responsibilities include developing computer vision models, deploying ML systems, and collaborating with engineering teams.
This is a remote position.
We are looking for a skilled ML Engineer with strong experience in computer vision and production machine learning systems.
You will work directly with the founders and help expand our AI capabilities across image analysis, structured data modeling, and LLM-powered workflows. Our ML infrastructure is already mature and running in production, so this role is focused on improving, scaling, and evolving existing systems while introducing new approaches and models.
This is a high-ownership role ideal for engineers who enjoy moving fast, solving difficult technical challenges, and taking ML systems from experimentation to production deployment.
- Develop and improve computer vision models for vehicle crash analysis
- Build and maintain traditional ML models for structured and sensor data
- Work with LLM APIs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini for structured outputs and evaluation workflows
- Deploy, package, and serve ML models in production environments
- Monitor model quality and performance metrics including regression evaluation (MAE, R²)
- Collaborate closely with the full-stack engineering team on ML integration
- Work with both image-based and structured datasets
- Ensure ML systems are reliable, scalable, and production-ready
- Participate in the full ML lifecycle from experimentation to deployment and monitoring
