## About the role

As a Senior Engineer, Machine Learning on Virta's Applied AI team, you build the models that shape how Virta shows up for each member: who needs a coach's attention this week, which nudge will land, what moves someone closer to reversing their disease. You take a fuzzy clinical or operational question, sharpen it into something a model can actually answer, and carry it the whole way to production. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years building, evaluating, and deploying production-grade Machine Learning systems for real-world use cases
- Strong foundation in traditional ML (predictive modeling, tree-based models like XGBoost, time-series analysis on structured longitudinal data)
- Rigorous evaluation and experimental design: statistical reasoning, offline/online evaluation, and a habit of identifying leakage, selection bias, and confounding in messy real-world data
- Ability to explain model behavior, tradeoffs, uncertainty, and limitations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Experience designing and analyzing experiments to determine what actually drives an outcome, not just what correlates with it
- Depth in one or more of: causal ML and experimentation, recommendation/ranking systems, predictive modeling, or NLP/LLM-based systems
