About the role

About ASIASI's mission-critical technology powers decision-making across aviation, defense, energy, and other critical infrastructure domains. Backed by top-tier investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Spark Capital, and Renegade Partners, ASI delivers operational decision superiority—compressing days of analysis into seconds of action. ASI is leading the way and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. 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., Tensor Flow, PyTorch, scikit-learn).Experience using LLMs in production environments — covering prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG systems, and frameworks like Lang Chain 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. Location Boston, USEmployment Type Full time Department 1. Defense

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
