MLabs is hiring a Senior AI Data Scientist to lead the design, evaluation, and evolution of the agentic systems powering our financial intelligence platform. You will own the core logic for how models reason over data, how agents coordinate and make decisions, and rigorously measure quality, correctness, and risk in production AI workflows.
What You'll Do
- Design and own single and multi-agent systems that reason, plan, and act over complex financial workflows.
- Define agent behavior, memory, and tool-use strategies with a strong emphasis on correctness and controllability.
- Develop and maintain LLM evaluation frameworks covering accuracy, faithfulness, latency, cost, regressions, and edge cases.
- Design structured prompting, schemas, and tool-calling strategies; build and operate MCP servers including schema design and safety boundaries.
- Analyze model behavior and failure modes to turn qualitative issues into measurable signals; optimize performance and cost across workflows.
- Mentor engineers and data scientists, setting best practices for applied LLM and agentic systems.
What We're Looking For
- 6+ years in data science, applied ML, or AI-focused software roles.
- At least 3+ years building production AI/ML systems beyond the experimentation phase.
- Deep hands-on experience with LLMs, agentic patterns, and tool-calling systems.
- Strong Python skills and comfort working closely with production systems and APIs.
- Proven experience with RAG pipelines, embeddings, and vector databases.
- Strong intuition for model behavior, trade-offs, and failure analysis.
Nice to Have
- Experience applying ML or statistical methods to financial data (crypto/DeFi is a major plus).
- A track record of building reusable ML or data abstractions that improve team velocity.
- A strong intuition for how model behavior shifts in production based on data, users, and constraints.
Technical Stack
- Python
- LLMs
- RAG pipelines
- Embeddings
- Vector databases
- MCP servers
Benefits & Compensation
- Compensation: $130,000 – $150,000 + equity, a competitive package aligned with growth and merit.
- 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision options for you and your dependents, plus FSA/HSA options.
- 21 vacation days, 7 sick days, and 8 observed U.S. company holidays.
- Thoughtful parental leave policy.
- Access to OneMedical, Teladoc, Talkspace, and Employee Assistance Programs (EAP).
- Personalized professional development.
- Pre-tax commuter programs.
