The Opportunity

SandboxAQ's AI Generation Engine (SAIGE) team is seeking a highly accomplished Machine Learning Engineer to take ownership of the end-to-end ML lifecycle, from initial data exploration and model development to scalable production deployment. This role is central to designing and rapidly building AI-first products that incorporate Large Quantitative Models (LQMs) and sophisticated agentic frameworks.

We are looking for a hands-on engineer who is passionate about owning the entire lifecycle of model development. This requires significant industry experience in bringing machine learning models from conception and experimentation to production and deployment in a robust, scalable manner, including (but not limited to): Data Acquisition and Curation, Infrastructure, Pre-Training, Evaluations, and Fine-Tuning. This person will be one of the founding engineers to join the SAIGE team and will be the bridge between cutting-edge AI concepts and functional, real-world MVPs.

As a Machine Learning Engineer on the SAIGE team, your primary goal will be to rapidly iterate on different potential solutions to build and evaluate new models, focusing on speed and tangible outcomes. You'll be part of a diverse team consisting of software engineers, ML experts, products managers and user experience researchers, where they will play a key role in efficient and effective enablement of the cutting-edge technologies being developed at SandboxAQ.

Key Responsibilities
