You'll work closely with our engineering and data teams to build ML systems that analyze sensor data, detect anomalies, and deliver actionable insights to our customers.

What You'll Work On

• Anomaly Detection — Develop models to identify unusual patterns and potential issues in sewer infrastructure data

• Time Series Forecasting — Build predictive models for maintenance scheduling and infrastructure health predictions

• ML Model Development — Design, train, and iterate on ML models for sewer-specific applications

• Data Analysis & Pipelines — Build pipelines for processing and analyzing infrastructure data at scale

• Dashboards & Reporting — Create visualizations and reports in Hex to surface insights for stakeholders

Required Technical Skills

• Python — Deep experience with pandas, scikit-learn, and statistical analysis

• Deep Learning Frameworks — PyTorch or TensorFlow for advanced modeling

• SQL — Complex queries, window functions, analytical queries

• Time Series Analysis — Forecasting techniques, trend analysis, seasonality handling, signal processing

• Anomaly Detection — Statistical and ML-based anomaly detection techniques

• Data Stack — Hex, dbt, ClickHouse

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Infrastructure or IoT domain experience

• Sewer/Water industry experience or knowledge

• Sensor data analysis

• MLOps experience (model deployment, monitoring)

• Cloud platforms (AWS)

What We're Looking For

• 4-6 years of applied machine learning experience

• Strong statistical and ML fundamentals

• Experience with time series analysis or anomaly detection

• Knowledge of Bayesian statistics and/or Bayesian optimization

• Experience creating and applying custom metrics to complex datasets and problems

• Collaborative mindset — you enjoy working across teams

• Clear communicator — you can explain complex ML concepts to non-technical stakeholders

What You'll Gain

• Impact — Your models directly improve infrastructure maintenance for cities and utilities

• Modern Stack — Work with a modern data and ML stack (Hex, dbt, ClickHouse, PyTorch)

• Growth — Expand your skills across applied ML in a high-impact domain

• Ownership — Shape the direction of our predictive analytics capabilities as we scale

Compensation: $150,000-$180,000

Benefits include:

• Medical, Dental, Vision, Basic Life, 401(k), and more

• Unlimited PTO

• Tools you need to get the job done

• Competitive salary and potential equity-based remuneration
