The Team:
We are an early stage geoscience AI team at X with a growing, interdisciplinary portfolio. To prove our path to the moon, we make early contact with the real world through both internal and external partnerships. As a member of the team, you are a self-starter, have a deep passion for problem solving and experimentation and will work on 0-1 AI-based products.
The Role:
As a ML Engineer, you'll be instrumental in translating cutting-edge multi-modal AI research into real-world products. You will harness multi-modal foundation models to drive real-world, high-impact outcomes. Additionally, you'll contribute significantly to centralized scalable training and eval infrastructure.

What you should have:

• MS/PhD in CS or equivalent practical experience in ML, and 6+ years of professional experience building and releasing production software (in addition to internships)
• 3+ years of hands-on industry experience in AI research, scalable model training, evals, and model deployments. Experience with multi-model models is strongly preferred.
• We particularly value experience in early-stage or startup environments, where engineers take ownership and drive product development from the ground up.
• ML Ops experience - setting distributed training and eval pipelines. Hands-on experience building scalable data pipelines and managing ML workflows.
• Substantial experience with machine learning frameworks and libraries, such as PyTorch, Hugging Face, or TensorFlow.
• Experience with cloud computing platforms and infrastructure (e.g., Google Cloud Platform).
• Experience using AI code generation tools.
