About the role

You will work on problems that frontier models can't solve. Supply chain dynamics require modeling physical systems and processes. You will own the full research cycle, from hypothesis to production model, with direct visibility into real-world impact.

What they're looking for

  • Strong foundations in machine learning — experience developing and evaluating forecasting models, and LLM pipelines
  • Deep understanding of time-series forecasting, optimization, or related domains
  • Experience working with messy, heterogeneous real-world data
  • PhD or equivalent research experience preferred, but exceptional engineers with relevant industry experience will be considered
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving, early-stage environment where research directly feeds production systems
  • Location: San Francisco (in-person, 5 days per week)
