Full Job Description

📋 Description

  • This is a rare opportunity to join the founding core engineering team of a fast-growing company building frontier AI for enterprise internet infrastructure.
  • The company designs and manufactures its own networking hardware — controllers, switches, and wireless access points — and manages full-stack installation and operations for business customers.
  • This full-stack ownership gives the team unique visibility and a proprietary dataset unlike anything available in academia or at most tech companies.
  • As a Model Engineer, you'll help define the intelligence layer for this infrastructure: training models that deeply understand networked systems, anticipate failure before it happens, and take autonomous corrective action.
  • You'll work at the intersection of applied ML research and production systems engineering, collaborating closely across hardware and software teams.
  • You'll train end-to-end models applied to fault prediction, network state modeling, and autonomous repair.
  • You'll build multi-modal models over structured networking data and implement function-calling to make network-wide decisions autonomously.
  • You'll evaluate model performance in both real-world hardware and virtualized environments, iterating to improve reliability and efficiency.
  • You'll contribute to shaping the technical direction and culture of a new applied research organization from the ground up.

🎯 Requirements

  • Hands-on experience building and training ML models for large-scale infrastructure, monitoring, automation, or systems optimization — this is a dealbreaker requirement.
  • Experience working with distributed systems data, telemetry, and anomaly detection to improve reliability and performance.
  • Proficiency in Python and one or more ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
  • Experience with MLOps: model deployment, monitoring, versioning, and automation pipelines in production.
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills, including presenting findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong CS fundamentals.
  • Willingness to work on-site in San Francisco, CA (Mission District).

🏖️ Benefits

  • Salary: $200,000 – $300,000 USD annually, depending on experience.
  • Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
