Remote Senior Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer @ Shelf

The R&D department plays a pivotal role in driving Shelf to disrupt the market. We are looking for Machine Learning experts that are able to deliver end to end with a blend of experience : Python engineering, ML engineering, and pragmatic Data science and Machine learning research. You will ship end-to-end features—from problem framing and experimentation to service deployment, and ongoing operations—quickly and with high quality. Your work will power ML- and LLM-driven services used by top enterprises like Amazon, Mayo Clinic, AmFam, and Nespresso.

This role requires strong Python engineering capabilities coupled with a strong ability to deliver robust ML solutions, along with ML research literacy to choose sound methodologies, define metrics, and evaluate different approaches effectively.

You’ll work in an agile environment, move fast, and own what you ship.

What Shelf Offers

About Shelf

There is no AI Strategy without a Data Strategy. Getting GenAI to work is mission-critical for most companies, but 90% of AI projects haven't deployed. Why? Poor data quality—it’s the #1 obstacle companies face getting GenAI into production.

Shelf unlocks AI readiness. We provide the core infrastructure that enables GenAI to be deployed at scale. We help companies deliver more accurate GenAI answers by eliminating bad data in documents and files before they go into an LLM and create bad answers.

We’re partnered with Microsoft, Salesforce, Snowflake, Databricks, OpenAI and other leaders bringing GenAI to the enterprise. Our mission is to empower humanity with better answers everywhere.
