Base Salary
$250k - $295k/yr
Responsibilities
- Design, train, and deploy multimodal machine learning systems spanning multimodal learning, physics-informed AI, digital twins, and spatial intelligence.
- Own projects from problem definition and prototyping through production deployment, adoption, and ongoing performance monitoring.
- Develop evaluation frameworks that compare model judgments with real business outcomes.
- Build and extend scalable machine learning infrastructure, training-data pipelines, evaluation harnesses, and production monitoring.
- Develop agentic model workflows with complex tool calls that interact with Stand’s world-modeling stack.
- Build retrieval and similarity capabilities over learned representations of real-world assets.
- Partner with the Platform team on model-harness interfaces and with Applied Science infrastructure engineers on production tooling.
- Collaborate with technical subject matter experts and business teams across underwriting, pricing, mitigation, inspection, and customer decision-making.
- Communicate technical decisions, tradeoffs, and project status while aligning work with business objectives.
Requirements
- Deep hands-on experience designing and training multimodal models that fuse heterogeneous data such as 3D or vision, simulation outputs, tabular data, and text.
- Production experience training, evaluating, deploying, and iterating on multimodal models at scale.
- Experience applying machine learning to complex physical systems, including domains such as atmospheric science, molecular modeling, protein modeling, robotics, or fluid dynamics.
- Experience training or fine-tuning LLMs, including tool use, agentic workflows, or post-training methods.
- Experience with retrieval and embedding systems, vector search, or similarity in latent space is preferred.
- Experience with geometric deep learning, point clouds, meshes, and spatially aware architectures is preferred.
- Familiarity with physics-informed AI and surrogate modeling across multiple domains is preferred.
- Knowledge of geospatial, remote sensing, or Earth observation datasets is preferred.
- Startup or zero-to-one technology development experience is preferred.
- Strong project ownership, cross-disciplinary collaboration, communication, prioritization, and execution skills.
- Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States; Stand does not sponsor new work visas, though TN, O-1A, and qualifying H-1B transfers may be considered.
Benefits
- Above-market health, dental, and vision coverage.
- Weekly lunch stipend, flexible time off, and holidays.
- 401(k) plan, commuter benefits, and PAT & MAT leave.
- Short-term and long-term disability coverage.
- Monthly team gatherings and in-office perks.
