About the Role At Sigma, we’re not just adding AI—we’re building the future of how people work with data. Our platform already lets users explore billions of rows of data in seconds with a spreadsheet-like interface, analyze and present their data in workbooks, and build data apps and workflows. Now we’re pushing further, applying AI to reshape how people build in Sigma, discover insights, and make smarter decisions—fast. That’s where you come in. As an AI/ML Engineer, you’ll join a growing team focused on building the AI foundation that will power Sigma for the future. Your work will become an integral part of the workflow for the thousands of enterprises that run on Sigma. What You’ll Do Partner with product, design, and engineering teams to identify high-impact AI/ML opportunities Prototype and productionize AI systems that feel intuitive but do a lot under the hood—recommendations, natural language interfaces, agentic workflows, and more Develop and scale AI/ML infrastructure that powers both internal tooling and customer-facing features Tackle novel UX problems at the intersection of AI, BI, and apps What You Bring Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field (required) 10+ years of experience building and deploying production-grade AI/ML systems Deep knowledge of machine learning, deep learning, and applied AI Experience across the full ML lifecycle: data curation, training, deployment, monitoring A track record of building things that ship—whether it’s recommendations, search, machine translation, or something equally complex Experience adapting or training foundation models (language or multimodal) for novel domains Bonus Points (or skills you’ll build here) You've built agents that can plan, reason, and use tools You know your way around cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) You’ve worked in a fast-moving startup or high-growth environment Additional Job details The base salary range for this posit

About Scale AI At Scale, our mission is to develop reliable AI systems for the world's most important decisions. Our products provide the high-quality data and full-stack technologies that power the world's leading models, and help enterprises and governments build, deploy, and oversee AI applications that deliver real impact. Scale Frontier Data is the organization behind the training and evaluation data that frontier labs depend on. We build the systems, tooling, and expert workflows that turn hard human expertise into signals that models can learn from, across reasoning, coding, agentic tool use, and domain expertise. Reinforcement learning environments are now the center of gravity for that work: the difference between a model that demos well and a model that reliably completes long-horizon work is almost always the quality of the environments and reward signals it was trained against. Responsibilities As a Staff Software Engineer, RL Environments, you'll own the technical foundation for how Scale builds, runs, verifies, and delivers RL environments at scale. An RL environment is a real piece of software: a containerized world with real dependencies, real state, real tools, and a grader that has to be correct even when the agent is creative about breaking it. Building one is a full-stack engineering problem. Building thousands of them reproducibly, cheaply, with trustworthy reward signals and throughput measured in millions of rollouts is a systems problem that very few people have solved. You'll work on both. You'll design the platform: sandboxed execution, environment packaging and versioning, rollout orchestration, trajectory capture, verifier frameworks, and the authoring surfaces that let engineers and domain experts produce environments without reinventing infrastructure each time. And you'll go deep on the environments themselves by instrumenting real applications, designing task suites that expose specific capability gaps, and building graders that

Scale has been the leading AI data foundry, helping fuel the most exciting advancements in AI, including frontier model training, enterprise adoption, defense applications, and autonomous vehicles. Our mission is to develop reliable AI systems for the world's most important decisions. The next frontier for AI is the physical world. We're looking for an AI Product Manager to own the Robotics vertical within our Physical AI team. In this role, you'll own both the development of the data and training environments (the teleoperated demonstrations, real-world collections, simulated tasks, and annotation products that labs use to train and evaluate robot policies) and the "data as a product" strategy that powers them. You'll understand where physical AI is headed, decide what robot tasks and embodiments are worth collecting, how to source and structure the underlying data, and how to turn deep domain knowledge into a defensible product. The ideal candidate has lived inside robotics or physical AI research, and is able to pair that domain understanding with a sense for where current robot policies succeed and fail in real-world workflows. You'll translate that expertise into datasets, environments, and evaluation frameworks that teach robots to do real physical work, and you'll be the domain expert Scale's most important customers and their leading researchers turn to. A strong entrepreneurial & go-to-market mindset will be necessary. What You'll Do Own the Robotics AI roadmap & data strategy: Set product direction for the robotics training stack and the data strategy behind it — what data we collect, on which hardware and embodiments, and what we source internally vs. through our marketplace.
