More about this role
We’re looking for a Staff ML Data Engineer to join Procore’s AI & Frontier Models organization. In this role, you’ll be responsible for designing and building the data systems that power frontier‑scale machine learning research and applied AI products, with a particular focus on spatial intelligence and multimodal data. The primary goal of this role is to ensure that researchers and engineers can reliably discover, curate, transform, and operate on large‑scale datasets that move from experimentation to production.
As a Staff ML Data Engineer , you’ll work closely with ML researchers, applied ML engineers, and system architects to turn ambiguous research needs into scalable, production‑ready data pipelines. You’ll remain deeply hands‑on while providing technical leadership in data architecture, quality, and operational excellence. This is an opportunity to shape how Procore builds, evaluates, and deploys frontier models by ensuring the underlying data systems are robust, observable, and designed for iteration.
