Elevate Your Potential

AltaML builds and deploys AI solutions for organizations where the problems are real and the stakes are high.
If you want to build AI that runs in production, in industries where it matters, we'd love to talk to you.

HOW WE WORK

WE DEPLOY ENGINEERS ALONGSIDE THE WORK

AltaML has staffed client engagements with forward-deployed engineers since 2018, seven years before the title became one of the most-posted roles in tech. Our engineers work close enough to the client's operation to understand how decisions get made, where the data comes from, and what the people using the tool actually need from it.

We believe in making small bets, failing fast, and being better together. We are on the lookout for visionary problem-solvers, out-of-the-box thinkers who strive to solve big problems alongside clients, and early tech adopters driven to achieve success. We hire people who are as interested in the industries we work in as in the models we build. If you do your best work close to a real problem, we'd like to talk.

Who it's for: Early-career machine learning and software developers, recent graduates in computer science, statistics, data science, and related fields, and career changers with demonstrable technical foundations.

We hire associates on a rolling basis. Check our open roles for current Talent Accelerator positions — when a cohort is recruiting, you'll find it there.
