  • Mentor and manage technical team members
  • Intelligently and strategically use LLMs to further the projects goals
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to drive the vision behind Machine Learning solutions and back end infrastructure
  • Create and develop prototypes, drafting technical and design documents as necessary
  • Provide strong frameworks and guidance for the execution of production-ready code and discern when a focused, hackathon-style approach is most effective for specific, intractable problems
  • Engage with external partners to prioritize and incorporate feedback

What You Should Have:

  • 10 years of experience in a hands-on technical role
  • Experience using large language models for real applications
  • Back-end / full-stack engineering experience in a production environment
  • 5 years experience in ML/AI (sourcing and processing data to production pipelines)
  • Experience liaising with and collaborating directly with customers
  • Experience in unstructured work environments with rapidly changing requirements and limited oversight - essentially a start-up or early-stage company experience
  • Proven team leadership track record - building and managing engineering teams, setting aggressive goals, and leading complex cross-functional projects.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills

It Would Be Great If You Also Had These:

  • Experience founding or being involved in an early stage startup
  • Experience working with a wide variety of geospatial data (ok if you dont, but you should be up for a steep learning curve)
