In this role, you will operate at the intersection of

applied NLP, agentic systems, and production ML engineering . You will design and own end‑to‑end ML pipelines that surface sensitive data risks, propose and execute remediation actions via agentic workflows, and enable GenAI features used directly by all Teleskope customers.

This is a

high‑visibility, high‑ownership role . The systems you build will be central to the platform and touched by every Teleskope user. You will work closely with product, engineering, and customer‑facing teams to ensure ML systems are reliable, scalable, and production‑grade.

This is an in‑office role based in New York City.

What You'll Do

Design, build, and own production ML systems

that surface data risk and power automated remediation across the Teleskope platform.

Develop

agentic ML pipelines

that combine detection, classification, and decision‑making with automated, policy‑driven remediation actions.

Build and deploy NLP and GenAI models for:

Named Entity Recognition (NER) and sensitive data detection

Text, document, and table classification

Clustering, summarization, and risk prioritization

LLM‑driven reasoning and remediation proposal workflows

Define and implement

quality, evaluation, and monitoring frameworks

to ensure model correctness, stability, and safety in production.

6+ years of experience

building and deploying machine learning systems in production, with a strong emphasis on NLP.

Proven experience owning

end‑to‑end ML pipelines , from data ingestion and preprocessing to deployment and monitoring.

Hands‑on experience with

LLM‑based systems, GenAI features, or agentic workflows

in real‑world applications.

Strong software engineering skills, including:

Proficiency in

Python

Experience building scalable services and pipelines

Experience with modern ML frameworks (e.g., LangChain, HuggingFace) and production deployment patterns.

Ability to reason about tradeoffs across accuracy, latency, cost, and system complexity.

Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating across engineering, product, and customer teams.

Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field—or equivalent professional experience.

Must be based in New York City

— this is an in‑office role.

Nice to Haves

Experience with

GPU‑accelerated inference , Triton, ONNX, or model serving optimization.

Experience deploying ML systems in

cloud‑native and on‑prem

environments.

Exposure to compiled languages such as

Go .

Experience supporting multilingual NLP systems.

Background in building ML systems that operate in

security, privacy, or compliance‑sensitive domains .

What You'll Get

A senior, high‑impact role at an early‑stage startup in a fast‑growing market.

Ownership over ML systems that directly power every customer workflow on the platform.

The opportunity to shape how agentic AI and GenAI are used responsibly in data security.
