Applied ML Engineer - Model R&D

You'll own the last mile – taking promising AI/ML concepts from research and making them reliable, scalable, and production-functional. As an Applied ML Engineer at Nascent, you'll sit at the intersection of a strong R&D team and the systems that consume their work, bringing structured engineering discipline to close the gap between prototype and production. The split is roughly 75% deployment and applied engineering, 25% participating in R&D. Your job is to make things work, stay working, and scale.

The team is full of strong researchers and ML minds. We are targeting experience in a professional engineering environment where architecture decisions matter, task management is a given, and shared ownership of systems is how you build. You'll bring that discipline and push the team's engineering standards forward. You'll be the person who says "here's how we'd build this properly" and then builds it.
