Software Engineer/Senior Software Engineer (Applied Machine Learning & Data Mining)

• We are open to candidates at either the Software Engineer or Senior Software Engineer level. Level will be determined by experience, technical depth, scope of ownership, and demonstrated impact. You do not need experience with every technology in our stack; we value strong fundamentals, ownership, and the ability to learn
• Develop and evaluate mining, retrieval, and ranking methods using signals such as model confidence, disagreement, embeddings, anomalies, temporal behavior, and learned representations
• Build and evolve semantic image/video/scenario search, including text-to-image/video and image-to-image or video-to-video retrieval, vector search, metadata and temporal or spatial filters, task-specific ranking, and search quality, freshness, latency, and reliability
• Build and operate distributed mining, inference, and indexing pipelines over fleet-scale imagery, video, time-series, and autonomy-system data, including GPU batch inference, embedding generation, reproducible candidate datasets, and reliable index refreshes
• Design and ship mining products end to end: Python APIs and services, relational data models, asynchronous jobs, modern TypeScript/React search and review experiences, deployment, access control, testing, observability, and production reliability
• Ensure that your work is performed in accordance with the company’s Quality Management System (QMS) requirements and contribute to continuous improvement efforts

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO: Unlimited paid time off on top of company holidays to recharge and enjoy as needed
• Flexible working: Flexibile work arrangements and technology to help manage life’s demands at the office and remote
• Health benefits: Tiered options in medical, dental, and vision insurance to fit your unique needs
• Future building: Equity, 401k and FSA options for all eligible employees to help build for your future
• Professional development: Company-sponsored professional development opportunities such as conferences, training, and workshops
• Catered lunches: Daily catered lunches at both of our Santa Clara and Fremont offices- Hands-on experience developing and evaluating machine-learning, data-mining, computer-vision, or information-retrieval methods with a framework such as PyTorch or TensorFlow, including experimentation, error analysis, and principled metrics
• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• Self-driven with a strong sense of ownership: a quick learner who is eager to take responsibility and drive projects forward end to end
• Foundations for data-centric machine learning: an understanding of model uncertainty and evaluation, embeddings and similarity search, and how training-data composition shapes model behavior
• Production full-stack experience spanning backend services and REST APIs, relational data modeling and SQL, and modern JavaScript or TypeScript frontend development using React or a comparable framework
• Experience with embedding and multimodal models (CLIP-style models, VLMs), vector databases (Milvus, FAISS, pgvector), or GPU batch inference at scale
• Experience improving models through data — training or fine-tuning, active learning and data flywheels, hard-example mining, uncertainty or disagreement signals, dataset curation — ideally in autonomous driving, robotics, or perception
