Staff SW Engineer, Machine Learning

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Staff SW Engineer, Machine Learning in the United States.

This role sits at the intersection of advanced machine learning, geospatial intelligence, and production-scale software engineering, focused on transforming satellite and remote sensing data into actionable intelligence. You will design and deploy ML systems that power real-time analytics for complex domains such as computer vision, time series forecasting, and natural language processing. The position requires deep technical expertise in building production-ready models and integrating them into scalable cloud-based systems. You will collaborate closely with analytics, infrastructure, and engineering teams to bring research-driven solutions into operational environments. The work is highly experimental yet production-focused, combining model development, algorithm design, and system integration. You will contribute to mission-critical applications used for monitoring global events and supporting high-stakes decision-making. The environment is fast-moving, technically rigorous, and centered on applied innovation at scale.

Accountabilities

• Design, develop, and deploy machine learning solutions for satellite imagery and geospatial intelligence applications, leveraging both classical and deep learning techniques.
• Build and optimize production-grade ML models and pipelines in Python, integrating them into large-scale analytics systems.
• Conduct applied research in computer vision, time series analysis, predictive modeling, and related domains to solve domain-specific challenges.
• Develop and refine algorithms, loss functions, and experimental frameworks, including training, evaluation, and performance analysis of models.
• Collaborate with infrastructure and ML engineering teams to ensure scalable, robust, and efficient deployment of analytics systems.
• Translate research concepts from academic literature into production-ready implementations, including experimentation and validation.
• Participate in technical discussions, product strategy alignment, and cross-functional collaboration with stakeholders and leadership.
• Ensure high-quality code delivery, including testing, documentation, and maintainability for long-term system reliability.
