Director of Machine Learning

Headquartered in Anaheim since 2006, the company now sells in 40 countries and supports customers in 11 languages. Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems license our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

Job summary:

Ironview Data is hiring a Director of Machine Learning to work remotely from the US. The Machine Learning team trains and serves models that run on every customer request. We need someone who cares about latency as much as accuracy. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

Day to day:

• Track experiments, artifacts and versions in MLflow or Weights & Biases
• Monitor models for drift, data quality issues and latency regressions
• Write clean, tested Python and review teammates' code
• Cut inference cost with quantization, batching and caching
• Maintain feature pipelines and a feature store such as Feast or Tecton
• Fine-tune open-weight models with LoRA when it beats prompting
• Set up evaluation harnesses and regression tests for model quality

Required qualifications:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least two spent on ML systems in production
• Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes and a cloud ML platform (SageMaker, Vertex AI, Azure ML)
• Hands-on experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow or JAX
• Understanding of core ML concepts: overfitting, evaluation metrics, bias in training data
• BS or MS in computer science, engineering or a related field
• Experience deploying models as services and monitoring them
• Strong Python and solid engineering habits (testing, packaging, code review)

Preferred qualifications:

• Recommendation or ranking systems at scale
• Distributed training with DeepSpeed or FSDP
• Guardrails, red teaming or safety evaluation for LLM features
• Published papers or open source ML contributions

Starting pay: $340,000 to $405,000/year, depending on experience and certifications.

Benefits:

• Health insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Three weeks of PTO to start
