    Essential Job Duties

    • Communication: Strong communication skills to learn and collaborate with stakeholders across the organization.

    • Independent Problem-Solving: Strong, independent analytical and problem-solving abilities, and the internal drive to execute projects to completion.

    • Project Management: Ability to manage projects, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines.

    • Adaptability: Willingness to learn and adapt to changing business needs, requirements, and emerging technologies.

    AI/ML Engineering

    • Machine Learning & AI Systems: Strong Python skills for building, training, and deploying both traditional ML models and modern AI applications — including LLM-based systems, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows. Proficiency in feature extraction/transformation and model selection, training, and evaluation.

    • GenAI Tooling: Experience with LangChain and LangGraph for building agentic/AI workflows, and working with LLM APIs such as the Claude and OpenAI SDKs. Experience self-hosting and serving models with vLLM is a plus.

    • API Development: Proficiency building and serving APIs with FastAPI, using Pydantic for data validation and schema enforcement.

    • Statistical & Mathematical Rigor: Solid grounding in statistical methods and experimental design (e.g., hypothesis testing, regression, causal inference) to validate models and ensure sound decision-making.

    • MLOps/LLMOps: Experience deploying, monitoring, and maintaining models and AI systems in production, using tools such as MLflow (experiment tracking) and LangSmith/LangFuse (LLM tracing and evaluation).

    Data Engineering

    • Data Modeling: Discover and characterize source data systems, understand and model the underlying business concepts, and build data models that organize data to meet operational and reporting needs.

    • Database Development & Optimization: Proficiency with databases (T-SQL, NoSQL) — writing and optimizing tables, queries, and indexes for scalability, reliability, and performance.

    • ETL/ELT Pipelines: Design and implement pipelines to move and transform data between systems.

    • Big Data / Data Warehousing: Experience with data warehousing concepts and platforms like Databricks; familiarity with Spark and Python for large-scale data processing.

    • Cloud Platforms: Knowledge of cloud services, particularly Azure, for scalable data storage and processing.

    • Data Governance & Security: Awareness of data quality, privacy, security, and compliance best practices.

    Education & Qualification Requirements

    • Degree in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a similar field; Master's degree a plus.

    • 3–5 years of experience as a data engineer, ML engineer, AI engineer, AI infrastructure engineer, or in a similar role.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
