Member of the Technical Staff

Role Summary

As a Member of the Technical Staff, you will join a team with deep expertise in machine learning, optimization, data science, and software engineering. You will work on small, focused project teams (typically 2-4 people) to address complex strategic questions and deliver end-to-end solutions to ambiguous questions like “How can we manage our inventory more efficiently?” and “Why are we losing customers?”

Our technical staff own this entire process—from framing the problem to building a solution and ensuring it drives lasting impact. Some examples of solutions we might deliver:

• LLM-based agent to automate expert analyst workflows in healthcare revenue cycle, ingesting unstructured contracts and claim data to identify recovery opportunities across 100M+ claims
• Core recommendation engine for a major dating app
• Coherent hierarchical probabilistic forecasting model, for thousands of products with intermittent demand
• Real-time delivery route planner, accounting for traffic conditions and live order changes

While our work is highly collaborative, you do need to be self-directed and able to work independently.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Strong skills and professional experience in at least one of:
• software engineering in a collaborative, production environment
• applied math, e.g., AI, operations research, statistics, probability, and/or machine learning
• product leadership on AI
• Excellent communication skills, can distill technical concepts for non-technical audiences
• Comfort in a client-facing role

Requirements

NICE TO HAVE

• PhD in computer science, statistics, applied mathematics, or a related field
• Successful track record leading large-scale technical projects, especially in a customer-facing role
• Deep expertise and/or thought leadership in a technical field (e.g. influential writing, strong publication record, professorship)
• This is an in-person role, based out of our office in San Francisco. We offer relocation assistance for new employees and highly-competitive compensation.
