We need a Machine Learning Engineer who can build intelligent systems across our entire product stack, owning ML systems that power every stage of a renewable energy deal. This isn't a research role. You'll be building production ML systems that customers rely on for multi-million dollar decisions, with clear accuracy targets and customer-facing metrics across the full deal lifecycle.
Who You Are
Must Haves
- Shipped ML models to production - handled edge cases, monitored performance, iterated based on user feedback (2-3+ years)
- NLP/document understanding background: Experience with LLMs in production: prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG systems
- Startup 0→1 mentality: high sense of ownership, ability to context-switch between different ML problem types
- Strong ML fundamentals: Have expertise in Python + ML frameworks, can systematically debug models and design rigorous evaluations
We're looking for:
- You'd rather ship 3 iterations in a month than perfect 1 model in a quarter
- You're comfortable talking directly with customers to understand why a model failed and what "good" actually looks like
- You're energized by ambiguous problems where the "right" approach isn't obvious - and you know how to make progress anyway
- You want to see your work directly impact how users get their job done (not just improve backend metrics)
- You're pragmatic about when to use ML vs. simpler solutions ("let's use heuristics for V1 and add ML in V2")
