Job Description:
Special Projects Engineering LLC -
At Special Projects Engineering LLC, we don't just think outside the boxwe redesign the box, patent it, and teach robots to build it. We're a small but mighty Seattle-based skunkworks team focused on applying advanced AI to ambitious, high-impact problems across industries: autonomous systems, predictive infrastructure, synthetic biology, defense-grade automation, and the occasional moonshot that starts on a napkin.
If its never been done before, we probably want to try.
As a Senior AI Engineer, youll be a critical force in designing, developing, and deploying cutting-edge AI systems that push technical and practical boundaries. Youll work directly with the CTO and a cross-disciplinary team of engineers, researchers, and mad scientists to prototype, test, and ship solutions to real-world problems (and a few strange ones, too).
Responsibilities:
Architect and implement machine learning models, with a focus on performance, scalability, and experimentation.
Work with unstructured data including images, video, audio, text, and sensor data.
Build intelligent systems for perception, decision-making, prediction, or control depending on the project.
Rapidly prototype ideas while balancing robustness and research-grade curiosity.
Collaborate closely with hardware, embedded, and product teams.
Help define the future of AI inside Special Projects including tooling, infrastructure, and capability roadmap.
5+ years of experience in AI/ML engineering or applied research.
Proficiency in Python (bonus for C++ or Rust), and deep experience with ML frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX).
Strong grasp of data science fundamentals, model training, evaluation, and deployment at scale.
Experience with real-world applications e.g. computer vision, NLP, RL, time-series, or multimodal models.
Comfortable owning projects end-to-end in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
Bonus: background in robotics, embedded ML, distributed systems, or weird sensors.
Competitive salary and generous equity packages
Flexible work hours and remote-friendly flexibility
Full health, dental, and vision coverage
Access to top-tier hardware and GPU infrastructure
Work on insane, fun, important things with people who care
Ready to build the future? Apply now and lets get weird.
