• Research, design, and build ML models across a range of use cases — we work with clients across industries and problem types

• Translate complex ML concepts clearly for both technical collaborators and non-technical client stakeholders

• You have a strong suit in at least one area — predictive/classical ML, computer vision, or LLM/agentic systems — and you’re genuinely curious about adjacent domains
• Strong Python and SQL skills, production-code instincts, and Git fluency; R or C++ a plus
• Comfortable across the full deployment stack: managed cloud services and containerized solutions built from scratch (Docker, EC2-style environments)
• Deep understanding of ML algorithms, statistical modeling, and optimization
• M.S. in a quantitative field, or equivalent depth demonstrated through shipped work
• Clear communicator who can explain their methodology and defend their choices
• Must be based in the US or Canada
