AI Scientist

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a confidential technology consulting organization seeking an AI Scientist to join their fully remote team across the United States. This role bridges advanced applied research with production engineering, designing and deploying machine learning systems that solve high-impact business problems. You'll blend scientific rigor with practical software engineering, requiring deep understanding of modern ML and deep learning techniques alongside the ability to build robust, scalable production pipelines.

This is a direct W2 position offering strong career growth potential with an established organization.

Responsibilities

• Design and ship advanced machine learning systems from problem framing through deployment and continuous improvement
• Bridge cutting-edge applied research with production engineering to deliver business value
• Train, fine-tune, and evaluate deep learning models at scale
• Build robust, scalable, and well-instrumented production ML pipelines with appropriate observability and safeguards
• Stay current with the rapidly evolving AI research landscape and critically evaluate new techniques for real-world applicability
• Implement distributed training, mixed-precision training, and leverage accelerator hardware effectively
• Communicate complex methods clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Read, evaluate, and adapt techniques from current research literature

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or closely related field; or equivalent applied experience
• 6+ years of combined research and applied ML engineering experience
• Strong proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX
• Hands-on experience training, fine-tuning, and evaluating deep learning models at non-trivial scale
• Solid grounding in mathematics, statistics, and theoretical foundations of modern ML
• Experience taking ML models from research prototype to production
• Familiarity with distributed training, mixed-precision training, and accelerator hardware
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Track record of shipping impactful applied AI projects
• U.S. work authorization (U.S. Citizens, Green Card Holders, EAD Holders, and H-1B transfer candidates encouraged to apply; we cannot sponsor new H-1B petitions)

Preferred:

• Published research at top-tier AI/ML venues
• Experience with large language model training, fine-tuning, or evaluation
• Familiarity with retrieval-augmented generation, agentic systems, or multimodal architectures
• Exposure to responsible AI, model evaluation, and alignment practices
• Experience contributing to open-source ML projects
