Job description

Staff Software Engineer (Machine Learning)
Remote: North America

VERSES is a cognitive computing company building nextgeneration intelligent software systems modeled after the Wisdom and Genius of Nature. We are a distributed, diverse, and inclusive workforce that aspires to do our best work on important problems with exceptional people.

We’re looking for trailblazers and problem solvers passionate about tackling important globalscale challenges so if that sounds appealing, let’s imagine a smarter world together.

🚀Join Our Adventure!

At VERSES, were shaping the future of computing with our natural computing platform, Genius. Were looking for a Staff Software Engineer (ML focused) to our product team and make a direct impact on the development of our agentic enterprise solution.

✍️Role and Responsibilities

As a Staff Software Engineer (ML focused) you will:

  • Migrate research concepts and ideologies (ie Active Inference) into production software
  • Contribute to the design and development of robust, scalable, ML infrastructure with emphasis on Bayesian inference and uncertainty quantification.
  • Implement active inference agents and models to support adaptive, goaldirected behavior in dynamic environments
  • Optimize endtoend ML pipelines from data ingestion and preprocessing to deployment and monitoring
  • Ensure observability, reproducibility, and reliability of models throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Rapidly prototype systems for live demonstration, applying cuttingedge technologies to connect the physical and digital worlds
  • Collaborate with crossfunctional teams, including data scientists, researchers, designers, and other engineers, to define software requirements and integrate probabilistic models into production systems.
  • Actively participate in technical discussions, offer mentorship, and ensure adherence to coding standards and best practices through active participation in code reviews.
