CTFSI Labs is currently seeking a highly motivated and creative senior engineer with hands-on experience building solutions that leverage LLMs and other AI/ML techniques.
CTFSI Labs is Cambridge’s in-house team responsible for curating and incubating intellectual capital for future products and managed services. We participate in client engagements as part of our curation and incubation process. We also create proofs-of-concept and the technical foundations for future commercial offerings by leveraging and integrating vendor tools, open-source software and in-house data science and software development.
Responsibilities
You will work on a small, core team alongside other engineers and business leaders throughout Cambridge with the following responsibilities:
- Contribute as a thought leader, developing best approaches and tooling in the Lab
- Contribute as an advocate for the Lab’s approaches and tooling across Cambridge
- Create solution blueprints for client proposals and for new Cambridge offerings
- Drive proper use of our approaches and tooling on client and cross-organizational projects
- Develop deep technical and functional understanding of new approaches and tooling
- Manage developers and data scientists on selected projects
- Contribute as a hands-on developer as needed
- Interact with clients as needed
Technologies will include Python, sklearn, PyTorch, LLMs, workflow orchestration and MLOps tools for AI/ML at scale with vendor tool integrations.
This is a hybrid role that requires the ability to think and articulate at a very conceptual level and implement many of those ideas in a detailed managerial and hands-on role. If you are a senior Python engineer with Data Science training who wants to exercise your entrepreneurial and creative talents, this is a great opportunity.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have a BSE or MSE in Computer Science or another engineering/math/science discipline providing experience with software development. A strong candidate will also possess many of the following characteristics:
- Experience leading cross-functional teams across the full-lifecycle of technically oriented projects with accountability for delivering results to senior business leaders
- 7+ years of corporate, software development experience, including experience with machine learning and deep learning using Python (e.g., scikit-learn, PyTorch)
- 2+ years of experience building applications that leverage LLMs, VLMs and multi-modal LLMs—including RAG, agentic workflows, instruction-tuning and/or self-hosted deployments of open-source models
- High level comfort with Python, including development and debugging in an IDE, unit testing, creating object-oriented designs, using decorators, packaging and working with open-source-software packages
- Strong analytic and communications skills
- Curiosity, flexibility, creativity and a strong tolerance for ambiguity
- Ability to learn new tools from documentation and internet resources
- Ability to work from home with up to 20% travel to client sites
