Teleskope is building the future of data security. Currently, security, data, and infrastructure engineers are drowning in manual overhead and alerts, which we faced first-hand during our time at Airbnb. At Teleskope, we’re building a modern and developer friendly data security platform to automate data security and privacy at scale, from detection to remediation
We are seeking a Machine Learning Engineer who is passionate about applying cutting-edge machine learning to solve critical challenges in data privacy and security. In this role, you will be responsible for developing scalable natural language processing (NLP) solutions to extract insights and enforce data governance policies across massive and complex datasets.
You will work closely with cross-functional partners—including software engineers, product leaders, and senior stakeholders—to deliver robust, production-grade ML systems. This position offers the opportunity to shape the ML infrastructure and modeling strategy at a fast-growing company that places a high premium on innovation, velocity, and impact.
Design and implement NLP models focused on tasks such as Named Entity Recognition (NER), Text Classification, Document Summarization, Clustering, and Structured Information Extraction.
Fine-tune state-of-the-art transformer-based models and adapt them to Teleskope’s domain-specific needs.
Build scalable pipelines for training, evaluation, and deployment of machine learning models in production environments.
Optimize model performance and inference speed through techniques such as model compression, GPU acceleration, and distillation.
Define requirements and implement processes for quality assurance and model validation throughout the ML lifecycle.
Contribute to the design of our ML architecture and infrastructure, ensuring reliability, maintainability, and performance across diverse deployment environments.
Collaborate closely with leadership to align ML initiatives with core product objectives and platform scalability.
Minimum of 6 years of experience in machine learning engineering, with a strong focus on NLP applications.
Demonstrated experience building and deploying machine learning systems in production environments at scale.
SQL experience and the use of regular expressions for data extraction and manipulation.
Experience curating and preprocessing large-scale training datasets for model development.
Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate technical concepts and decisions to diverse stakeholders.
Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related technical discipline—or equivalent professional experience.
Must be based in New York City - this is an in office role.
