Job Description
We're hiring our Founding Machine Learning Engineer (MLE) with expertise in Agent Development and Time-Series Modeling. You'll play a foundational role in building production-grade systems that combine the power of LLM-powered agents with time-series foundation models.
The Role
This is not a narrow research role — you'll design, train, deploy, and monitor ML systems end-to-end, moving from prototype to production with speed and autonomy. You'll also be a core contributor to defining how agents interact with multimodal numerical data, a problem space where the playbook does not yet exist.
Job Description:
- Design, train, and deploy production ML systems (LLM-powered agents + time-series models)
- Build and scale LLM-powered agents with advanced capabilities: multi-step reasoning, tool integration, autonomous workflows, memory/context management, and adaptive strategies
- Develop and refine evaluation frameworks for agents, ensuring reliability, safety, and measurable performance
- Apply and extend time-series modeling techniques (forecasting, anomaly detection, multimodal fusion) in real-world customer scenarios
- Operate end-to-end: from data ingestion and preprocessing to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement
- Stay ahead of the curve on the latest innovations in AI agents, orchestration frameworks, and infrastructure (MCP, A2A, etc.)
- Partner directly with researchers, engineers, and lighthouse customers to validate solutions and drive rapid iteration
