Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the machine learning and applied AI layer of a software platform, from early research through production delivery. The work spans text-processing pipelines, automated decision workflows, evaluation tooling and custom models, with a high degree of autonomy and close collaboration with a small engineering team.

What you'll do

\- Build pipelines that collect public technical documents, process unstructured text and extract structured data from it.

\- Design and ship automated workflows powered by large language models that reach a verdict on a given technical question.

\- Applied machine learning experience from before the LLM era, such as text, classification or recommendation models.

\- Strong Python skills and the ability to independently assemble an end-to-end LLM workflow using vendor APIs or SDKs.

\- Experience building evaluation systems for LLM-driven workflows, using existing tools or a custom harness.

\- Hands-on experience building text models with a standard framework such as PyTorch or scikit-learn.

\- Genuine interest in security research problems.

\- Based in the US or Canada, in a location away from the largest coastal tech hubs.

\- Willingness to travel lightly, about once per quarter, for team meetups or conferences.

Bonus points
