  • • At Adaption, we live by rigorous research principles, emphasizing meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of our work, from algorithms to serving infrastructure, to maximize efficiency and enable real-time adaptation.
  • • We believe in the power of 'Product as Proof,' rigorously testing research ideas through functional products and questioning the relevance of concepts that don't directly enhance user capabilities.
  • • Our commitment extends to sharing advancements with the broader field, prioritizing tangible impact over mere publication counts.
  • • We operate with conviction and urgency, functioning as a unified team that concentrates resources on high-impact initiatives where research, product development, and real-world application converge.
  • • As a Machine Learning Engineer (Applied ML), you will be instrumental in driving the design, implementation, and deployment of adaptable data strategies and efficient ML systems.
  • • This role is situated at the critical intersection of applied research and the development of tangible, real-world products, demanding both technical prowess and a deep commitment to delivering impactful solutions.
  • • You will collaborate closely with the founding team, playing a pivotal role in shaping both the research trajectory and the overarching product vision of the company.
  • • The position requires a strong foundation in AI/ML, a proven history of delivering measurable impact, and a genuine passion for applying these skills to solve real-world challenges.
  • • A significant aspect of this role involves acting as a trusted technical advisor to strategic customers, adeptly translating their complex needs into clear, actionable plans and technical solutions.
  • • You will be responsible for the hands-on implementation of data products, requiring creativity and exceptional technical execution to overcome novel challenges related to data handling, user interaction, and performance evaluation.
  • • This is an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge AI development, working on systems that are designed to learn and adapt continuously, mirroring the dynamic nature of the world around us.
  • • You will engage with complex problems in areas such as online learning, reinforcement learning, and the development of highly efficient ML architectures, contributing to the core innovation of Adaption.
  • • The role demands a proactive approach to problem-solving, a curiosity for exploring new frontiers in AI, and a strong bias towards taking action to achieve results.
  • • You will be a key player in ensuring that our ML systems are not only performant but also adaptable, capable of evolving alongside user needs and changing data landscapes.
  • • This position offers a unique chance to influence the direction of applied AI, working in a fast-paced, innovative environment where your contributions directly translate into product success and customer value.
  • • We are seeking individuals who are not only technically brilliant but also excellent collaborators, fostering a positive and productive work environment while being unafraid to propose bold, innovative ideas.
  • • Adaptability is a core value, and we encourage candidates to apply even if they don't meet every single qualification, recognizing the value of diverse perspectives and potential.
  • • Your work will directly contribute to making advanced AI more accessible and efficient, aligning with Adaption's mission to democratize intelligent technology.
  • • You will be involved in the entire lifecycle of ML model development, from conceptualization and research to deployment and ongoing optimization in production environments.
  • • This role offers a unique blend of research-oriented problem-solving and practical, product-focused engineering, providing a challenging yet rewarding career path.
  • • The emphasis on efficiency means you'll be working on optimizing algorithms, data pipelines, and inference systems for maximum performance and minimal resource utilization.
  • • You will gain invaluable experience in building and scaling ML systems in a startup environment, working directly with founders and early-stage team members.
  • • Your ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders will be crucial for success in this role.
  • • We are building the future of adaptive intelligence, and this role is central to that mission, offering a chance to make a significant impact on the AI landscape.
