About the Role

This is a founding-level ML engineering role at an AI/ML data and services company, sitting at the intersection of machine learning and growth. You'll build intelligent systems that directly drive user acquisition, engagement, and revenue — turning data science into measurable demand outcomes.

What You'll Do

  • Build ML models to optimize lead scoring, conversion prediction, and campaign performance.

  • Automate demand generation workflows, from audience segmentation to personalized outreach.

  • Design and maintain data pipelines for behavioral analytics, targeting, and experimentation.

  • Partner with marketing and product teams to translate growth goals into ML-driven solutions.

  • Experiment with LLMs, recommendation systems, and generative AI for content and outreach.

  • Establish data-driven frameworks for channel optimization and ROI tracking.

What We're Looking For

  • 3–10 years of hands-on ML engineering, data science, or growth analytics experience.

  • Strong Python skills with practical experience in PyTorch and/or TensorFlow for building and deploying models.

  • Proven track record with data-driven growth systems: lead scoring, conversion prediction, user modeling, or campaign optimization.

  • Experience integrating with marketing and CRM platforms (e.g. HubSpot, Salesforce) in ML-driven workflows.

  • Familiarity with advertising APIs (e.g. Google Ads, Meta Ads) for model-driven campaign optimization.

  • Experience with LLMs, recommender systems, and generative AI techniques.

  • Strong cross-functional communication skills to bridge technical and growth teams.

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
