About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Own delivery of client de-identification projects from raw data review through client acceptance
  • Run corpora through the de-identification pipeline and check outputs for missed entities, incorrect replacements, merged or split identities, and file rebuild failures
  • Diagnose issues, fix them when possible, and clearly explain unresolved problems to responsible engineers
  • Rerun pipelines and confirm fixes, often working with the annotation team to validate quality
  • Build and adjust ingestion and transformation steps for mailboxes, chat archives, document dumps, ticketing systems, and databases
  • Write code within the existing platform, including client-specific custom handling
  • Run reconciliation checks to ensure file counts and content match from ingestion through delivery
  • Contribute to technical sections of client reports covering sensitive data treatment, retained data, file-type handling, and known limitations
  • Walk clients through the work and resulting data alongside founders initially, then independently as experience grows
  • Convert one-off fixes into reusable documentation, runbooks, and product improvements
  • Learn the platform and delivery process, run part of a live engagement, and progress to independently managing engagements from scoping to delivery

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical field (computer science, engineering, math, statistics, physics, bioinformatics, or similar), or currently enrolled in one
  • Hands-on work in data engineering, backend engineering, or a solutions/forward-deployed role shipping production systems for customers
  • Internships, co-ops, research, and substantial projects count
  • Strong experience in Python and other backend programming languages, plus SQL
  • Comfortable reading and debugging other people's code
  • Experience building repeatable pipelines processing large volumes of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data
  • Understanding of data flow through systems and ability to identify incorrect output
  • Experience using AI tools and agents as a central part of the workflow, with appropriate oversight and validation
  • Ability to work independently and make sound decisions without waiting for direction
  • Clear communication with technical and executive audiences
  • Record of delivering complex projects on short timelines, measured in days and weeks
  • Availability for roughly 20 hours a week, with flexibility to keep client engagements on schedule
  • Experience with model inference, ML pipelines, or PyTorch is a nice-to-have
  • Experience with data masking, de-identification, ETL, or synthetic data tooling is a nice-to-have
  • Interest in working close to frontier AI labs and the training-data ecosystem is a nice-to-have
  • Experience at an early-stage company or on a new product line is a nice-to-have
