## About the role

The first wave of AI was about scale. The frontier now is reliable AI: systems that are not only capable, but understandable, testable, and dependable in real decisions. At Seekr, explainability is not a reporting layer added after deployment; it is a core product and research problem spanning attribution and interpretability, observability, and contestability. This role sits directly in that high-impact space, helping turn state-of-the-art ideas into production capabilities customers can trust.

## What they're looking for

- 5-8+ years of experience in AI engineering and/or AI research/science roles, or equivalent relevant experience
- Strong background in machine learning and modern AI systems, including LLM/VLMs, agent frameworks, RAG, or adjacent applied ML systems
- Ability to move comfortably between research and engineering
- Scientists here should be able to write production-grade code when needed, engineers here should be able to prototype and pressure-test systems inspired by state-of-the-art papers
- Experience designing experiments and evaluating ambiguous technical tradeoffs
- Fluency with AI coding assistants and the modern developer workflows they enable
