Machine Learning Engineer

LandingAI has always been a Visual AI company solving vision problems. We treat documents as visual artifacts and have taken on the challenge of systematically solving problems within the document understanding space. Overall, we are building foundational infrastructure for developers to extract information from their images and documents.

Our roots:

1. An early pioneer in Agentic AI, which we have applied in practice with Agentic Document Extraction (ADE).

2. Our LandingLens product, which has helped healthcare, finance, legal, and manufacturing teams address their visual AI challenges, maturing us in data-centric practices.

3. A vision-first approach, now applied to building our in-house foundation models.

These three pillars—agentic AI, data-centric obsession, and a vision-first approach—inform our ADE product and this is what you will deeply experience while working at LandingAI. Founded by Andrew Ng, one of the world’s leading AI researchers, LandingAI is committed to bringing cutting-edge research into production to solve real-world problems at scale.

We love and appreciate leadership, ownership, and founder energy. We value people with the guts to stand by their work and deliver, rather than offering empty talk. If this is you, you are already a culture fit and we would love to talk more.

What You’ll Do:

• Work directly with senior ML engineers to design ML solutions. These can involve agentic workflows or creating custom models.
• Iterate ML solutions to production-level quality
• Source and curate high quality data for training models
• Work closely with the labeling team to manage data-centric workflows

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong ML foundations and experience:
• Experienced (3+ years) in ML solution design through solving real world, complex problems
• Strong grasp of ML fundamentals, modeling, and algorithm design (not just taking things off the shelf from open source)
• Strong computer vision background (Vision Transformers, CNNs, etc)
• Hands-on experience with utilizing LLMs programmatically in a fashion well-aligned with their strengths and weaknesses, especially in agentic workflows
• Data-centric obsession:
• Experienced with the data-centric approach, including model evaluation and error analysis
• Very strong attention to detail, meticulous
• Willing to do the dirty work (data-centric, labeling, fixing, etc)
• Strong data analysis skills
• Other:
• Good communicator
• Strong customer focus to understand requirements to solve the core problem
• Good coding skills (for purposes of communicating ideas clearly)
• Experienced with PyTorch
