Department Overview Community & Intelligence Engineering. The product is Assist Chat.

Job Description Why This Role

Assist Chat is our flagship conversational AI for public safety—already live in 9-1-1 centers, patrol vehicles, and real-time crime centers. We've built the interface. We've embedded it into workflows. Now we're scaling the intelligence behind it.

This AI/ML Engineer role is an opportunity to push the frontier of how public safety professionals interact with language models in high-stakes environments.

Your Mission

• Build, fine-tune, and evaluate LLMs and task-specific agents for public safety workflows.
• Develop safe, performant pipelines for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), structured data injection, summarization, and classification.
• Collaborate with product, design, and engineering to embed AI directly into real-time workflows—no labs, no "eventual" use cases.
• Design and optimize evaluation frameworks, including offline metrics and human-in-the-loop validation.
• Work on problems that bridge research and production: speed, hallucination risk, latency, data ambiguity, and feedback integration.
• Collaborate with AI researchers and responsible AI team to build the best possible AI solutions for our customers.

• 3–8+ years working in ML/AI engineering roles—shipping models or pipelines into production.
• Familiarity with LLM ecosystems (OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, Llama, etc.) and modern AI stacks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Ray, Hugging Face).
• Experience with RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, prompt chaining, and fine-tuning preferred.
• Strong programming skills in Python development and testing (and ideally some experience working alongside full-stack engineers).
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP), containerization (Docker/kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
• Pragmatism—able to operate in applied, real-world settings with real constraints.
• Bonus: experience with AI safety, model evaluation, or regulated domains.

• You want to move fast without compromising safety—and you care about what your AI touches.
• You're looking for a team that's already shipping—and will put your work into production quickly.
• You're motivated by a mission that's hard to fake: getting first responders the right info, right now.
• You want to be the first AI/ML hire on a flagship product, helping shape both the direction and the foundation.

• Proven ability to communicate technical information effectively in English, both verbally and in writing, with both local and remote teams
