Research Engineer / Applied Scientist

Mathpix is looking for a Research Engineer / Applied Scientist to join their team. The role involves designing and running long-horizon computational experiments, debugging from first principles, and collaborating with ML and engineering teams on document understanding tasks.

Responsibilities:

• Design and run large-scale computational experiments to evaluate and improve our ML systems and document processing pipelines
• Implement performance-critical components in Python and/or C++ on Linux
• Investigate model failure modes and pipeline edge cases from first principles, using whatever tools the problem requires
• Pick up unfamiliar techniques — new model architectures, optimization methods, evaluation methodologies — and apply them to production problems
• Collaborate with the ML team on data curation, training, and evaluation, and with engineering on integrating results into production
