Kensho is an Artificial Intelligence company that builds solutions to uncover insights in messy and unstructured data that enable critical workflows and empower businesses to make decisions with conviction. Our products are powered by state-of-the-art Machine Learning techniques that allow customers to unlock insights faster using Artificial Intelligence, including voice-to-text transcription, data extraction from documents and natural language processing that gives computers the ability to comprehend and analyze human language.

Kensho is looking for a Senior ML Engineer to join the group of Machine Learning engineers working on one of the following products: Scribe, Link, Extract, NERD, or Classify. We are looking for talented people who share our passion for bringing to production robust, scalable, and highly accurate models.

At Kensho, we believe in flexibility-first, and give our employees the opportunity to work from where they feel most productive and engaged (must be in the United States). We also value in-person collaboration, so there may be times when travel to one of our Kensho hubs (NY/DC/MA) will be required for team meetings or company events.

Kensho states that the anticipated base salary range for the position is 175k - 250k. In addition, this role is eligible for an annual incentive bonus and equity plans. At Kensho, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role and compensation decisions are dependent on the facts and circumstances of each case.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build and maintain scalable production-ready ML systems
• Actively participate in the ML model lifecycle, from problem framing to training, deployment and monitoring in production
• Partner with ML Operations team to deliver solutions for automating ML model lifecycle, from technical design to implementation
• Work in a cross-functional team of ML engineers, Product Managers, Designers, Backend & Frontend engineers who are passionate about their product
• Mentor and lead other ML Scientists and Engineers to help make our team even more awesome!

• Experienced in automating ML model lifecycle
• Are comfortable with modern tools for building ML pipelines, including data processing, training, inference, and evaluation
• Have expertise in Python and Python-based ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch or TensorFlow)
