About the Role
We’re building a focused, high-quality team to work with large, messy, unconventional datasets. The work is research-driven, engineering-heavy, and largely greenfield. We’re hiring experienced researchers and engineers to design and build the data and ML foundations of a long-term technical effort.
What You’ll Do
- Work with high-volume, multimodal, unstructured data
- Build ML models, research pipelines, and experimental workflows
- Design data systems that support rigorous, repeatable experimentation
- Investigate model behaviour, signal quality, and data structure
- Translate research ideas into scalable, production-grade components
Data Researcher
- Explore complex datasets and design experiments
- Build early-stage ML prototypes
- Senior researchers set research direction and methodology
Data Scientist / ML Engineer

Likely Not a Fit If Your Background Is Mainly
- BI, reporting, dashboards, or KPI work
- Analysis limited to clean, pre-shaped datasets
- Survey programming or routine ETL
- Finance-first or spreadsheet-heavy analysis
- LLM prompting without underlying ML depth
- Coursework-only ML experience
What We Offer
- Competitive, fully guaranteed annual compensation
- Comprehensive relocation support
- Healthcare and travel benefits
