## About the Role

We lead with trust, treat each other with respect, and use candor consistently, kindly, and constructively. We care deeply about our work, and we find genuine satisfaction in doing it well. Above all, we take ownership-because we feel the weight of collective results personally. We are looking for people who share these values and are eager to put them into practice., * A BS degree in computer science, machine learning, mathematics, or a related discipline and 2+ years of relevant experience

 * Proficiency in machine learning and data science, with demonstrated application to image data, video data, or agentic systems
 * Proficiency in implementing and analyzing data structures and algorithms
 * Excellence in Python and knowledge of TensorFlow, PyTorch, and/or scikit-learn
 * Exposure to software development life cycle and tools
 * Active Secret (or above) US security clearance and US citizenship

The following isn't required, but we'd love to see it:

 * An advanced degree in computer science, machine learning, mathematics, or a related discipline
 * Experience deploying machine learning and data science solutions to production environments
 * Exposure to DevOps and to cloud infrastructure
 * Experience processing a variety of unstructured data types (e.g., image/video, text, telemetry, graphs, or other)
 * Experience implementing ETL pipelines, data pipelines, and/or workflow automation
 * Experience developing software in a systems programming language (e.g., Go, Rust, C++, Java, Scala, etc.)

You will be hybrid or on site at our Austin, Texas, office. This role requires travel up to 30% of the time.

## Description

As a Data Scientist, you will be a core contributor to the projects, products, and direction of the company. Working as part of a team of data scientists, machine learning engineers, software engineers, and DevOps engineers, you'll develop and validate machine learning models and custom analytic algorithms applied to image, video, text, geospatial, time series, structured, and other data. You will design AI-based solutions, based on both agentic and traditional approaches, for cloud and edge environments. You will sense what customers need, identify evolving demands, and translate that feedback into actionable input for our product teams. The work extends to the field, with mission-critical deployments and direct customer contact.
