About the role
About ASI
ASI is the frontier AI company that dynamically orchestrates critical infrastructure and defense assets, across air traffic control, energy, logistics, and combat operations. ASI's systems simulate physical operations, hours, days, and weeks ahead, so the people running air traffic control, the electric grid, and military operations can catch problems early and act before they spread. ASI is powering vital infrastructure for customers like United Airlines, National Grid, the Federal Aviation Administration, Delta Air Lines and the Department of War. ASI is headquartered in Boston with offices in Washington, DC, Denver, and Europe, and is backed by leading investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Citadel Securities, and Spark Capital.
What You Will Do
As part of our Defense engineering team, you will design and deploy production-grade systems that integrate machine learning models into scalable software pipelines. You’ll develop and ship features that leverage ML to solve real-world optimization and prediction problems, working with modern infrastructure like Kubernetes, AWS, and MLOps tooling. You’ll approach problems with a software engineer’s mindset—prioritizing robustness, maintainability, and performance at scale.
What We Value
- Proficiency in Python and experience with production ML tooling and frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn).
- Experience using LLMs in production environments — covering prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG systems, and frameworks like LangChain
- Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software engineering best practices.
- Familiarity with classical ML, deep learning with emphasis on transformer architectures, and MLOps concepts.
- Experience building and maintaining scalable, reliable production ML systems with robust data pipelines, including expertise with Apache Beam, MLflow, and similar production-grade tools.
- Commitment to high-quality ML engineering practices, including data versioning, experiment tracking, model governance, and automated testing pipelines.
- A bias for simplicity and clarity in solving complex problems.
- Intellectual curiosity and willingness to collaborate.
- Clear communication and collaboration across cross-functional teams.
How We Hire
We look at the interview process not as screening test but rather as an opportunity to simulate what it would look like working together. We build the interview process around you.
ASI works with export controlled technology and restricted U.S. Government data, including on contracts mandating U.S. immigration status and location restrictions for performing personnel. Employment offers are contingent on ability to timely obtain all required authorizations for contemplated job duties.
