Founding Applied AI/ML Engineer

LenderBox is hiring a Founding Applied AI/ML Engineer to own and scale its production document intelligence platform. The role focuses on accurate, verifiable document extraction, evaluation and data pipelines, inference economics, and production reliability and security.

Responsibilities:

• The document intelligence pipeline: extraction across appraisals, rent rolls, tax returns, leases, and loan documents, from ingestion and OCR through LLM orchestration to structured, verifiable output
• Evaluation and accuracy: eval harnesses, golden datasets, and regression suites for LLM-backed extraction. An extraction that cannot be verified does not ship
• Data engineering: the pipelines, schemas, and internal repository that turn thousands of processed documents into the dataset this company's future is built on
• The unit economics of inference: cost per page at the current model mix, and the roadmap that brings it down without giving accuracy back
• Production engineering: reliability, observability, and the security posture our SOC 2 obligations and bank diligence reviews demand
