What You Will Do:
As part of our Defense engineering team, you will design and deploy production-grade systems that integrate machine learning models into scalable software pipelines. You’ll develop and ship features that leverage ML to solve real-world optimization and prediction problems, working with modern infrastructure like Kubernetes, AWS, and MLOps tooling. You’ll approach problems with a software engineer’s mindset—prioritizing robustness, maintainability, and performance at scale.

What We Value

  • Proficiency in Python and experience with production ML tooling and frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn).

  • Experience using LLMs in production environments — covering prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG systems, and frameworks like LangChain

  • Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software engineering best practices.

  • Familiarity with classical ML, deep learning with emphasis on transformer architectures, and MLOps concepts.

  • Experience building and maintaining scalable, reliable production ML systems with robust data pipelines, including expertise with Apache Beam, MLflow, and similar production-grade tools.

  • Commitment to high-quality ML engineering practices, including data versioning, experiment tracking, model governance, and automated testing pipelines.

  • A bias for simplicity and clarity in solving complex problems.

  • Intellectual curiosity and willingness to collaborate.

  • Clear communication and collaboration across cross-functional teams.
