About the role

About Special Projects Engineering LLCAt Special Projects Engineering, we rethink problems from the ground up. We're a small, high-impact team based in Seattle focused on applying advanced AI to complex, often unconventional challenges. Our work spans autonomous systems, predictive infrastructure, synthetic biology, and defense-grade automation. If it's ambitious, technical, and hasn't been done before, we're probably already working on it.
What You'll Do: As a Neural Network Specialist, you'll be responsible for designing and optimizing deep learning architectures that push the limits of what's technically possible. You'll collaborate closely with the CTO and a diverse team of engineers, scientists, and domain experts to move ideas from prototypes to deployment.
Key responsibilities:
  • Design, train, and evaluate neural network architectures for real-world use
  • Work with unstructured data including visual, auditory, textual, and time-series formats
  • Develop systems for tasks like perception, decision-making, prediction, and control
  • Optimize models for performance, scalability, and deployment on various platforms
  • Rapidly iterate on ideas while balancing reliability and experimental curiosity
  • Collaborate with hardware, embedded, and software teams to integrate models into real systems
  • Contribute to the ML roadmap, infrastructure, and toolchain
What We're Looking For:
  • 5+ years of experience in deep learning or applied neural network research
  • Strong Python skills, with additional experience in C++ or Rust preferred
  • Expertise in PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAXSolid understanding of training techniques, loss functions, evaluation metrics, and deployment strategies
  • Experience with one or more domains like computer vision, NLP, reinforcement learning, or multimodal models
  • Comfortable owning projects from research through production
  • Bonus if you've worked with robotics, embedded AI, or unusual sensor inputs
  • Why You Might Care
  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Remote-friendly with flexible hours
  • Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Access to top-tier GPU hardware
  • Small team, zero bureaucracy, high ownership
  • Projects that are genuinely interesting and occasionally a little insane
