Senior ML Applied Scientist

Intuition Machines uses AI/ML to build enterprise security products. We apply our research to systems that serve hundreds of millions of people, with a team distributed around the world. You are probably familiar with our best-known product, the hCaptcha security suite. Our approach is simple: low overhead, small teams, and rapid iteration.

We are seeking an ML Applied Scientist to build scalable ML models, mentor fellow engineers, and contribute to our technical roadmap. The ideal candidate will translate business requirements into technical specifications and ensure our solutions meet performance, memory, and compute constraints.

What you will do:

• Build ML models that can scale to millions of requests per second while maintaining performance.
• Translate business requirements into technical specifications.
• Develop ML models that satisfy memory and compute constraints, evaluate them properly, and debug effectively.
• Provide technical mentorship to other ML research engineers.
• Iterate quickly, with a focus on shipping early and often, ensuring that new products or features can be deployed to millions of users.
• Write clearly structured, maintainable, well-documented, and tested code, including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
• Participate in code reviews and architecture & design sessions. Stay updated on recent technological developments and assess their applicability.
• Provide technical input to the research roadmap.

What we are looking for:

• Thoughtful, conscientious, and self-directed.
• 5+ years of professional experience in ML.
• Proven experience with the entire modeling lifecycle: building, evaluating, and debugging large ML models.
• Experience with large-scale categorical and structured data.
• Expertise in real-time ML models, incremental learning, and online learning.
• Strong understanding of ML fundamentals: bias-variance tradeoffs, loss functions, evaluation metrics, etc.
• Bachelor's Degree or foreign equivalent in a technical or related field from an accredited college or university, or equivalent job experience.
• Excellent communication, listening, and presentation skills to engage with diverse audiences and support and mentor peers.

Nice to Have:

• Strong grasp of the math required for ML (linear algebra, probability theory, statistics, matrix calculus).
• Software engineering/development experience with large-scale distributed systems.
• Ability to collaborate with ML engineers to integrate your work into our infrastructure, including automating observability, deployment, quality, and security.

What we offer:

• Fully remote position with flexible working hours.
• An inspiring team of colleagues spread all over the world.
• Pleasant, modern development and deployment workflows: ship early, ship often.
• High impact: lots of users, happy customers, high growth, and cutting edge R&D.
• Flat organization, direct interaction with customer teams.

We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all members of our team.
