Your Role
We are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join our AI Research team designing experimenting with and optimizing cutting-edge ML models that power our digital forensics capabilities. You will lead the development of new models training techniques and evaluation methods that surface critical leads and insights for investigators helping them solve cases faster and with greater confidence. As part of the Research team youll work closely with Product UX and our Brain team to ensure our models push the boundaries of whats possible while remaining practical for real-world use. Youll own complex ML projects end-to-end including ideation and experimentation to evaluation and handoff for integration advance working with our team to advance the state-of-the-art in digital forensics.
What You Will Accomplish:
- Design implement and evaluate state-of-the-art machine learning models. Lead experiments define metrics and iterate to improve performance efficiency and reliability;
- Collect build and work with complex real-world datasets developing preprocessing augmentation and feature engineering techniques that enhance model training and fairness;
- Collaborate cross-functionally with our Brain team to ensure models are production-ready scalable and meet real user needs.
- Stay at the forefront of ML research assessing new techniques frameworks and trends and translating them into practical innovations for our products;
- Mentor other engineers on ML best practices experimental design and technical decision-making;
- Contribute to building reusable research infrastructure and tooling that accelerates experimentation and improves reproducibility;
- Ensure ethical and responsible AI practices are integrated into model design training and evaluation.
Why Youll Love This Role:
- In your first 90 days youll get hands-on with our Research team experimenting with real-world datasets and evaluation pipelines to improve the accuracy efficiency or robustness of our models.
