AI/ML Engineer (Founding Technical Team)

FoodHealth Company, backed by $7.5M in Series A funding from Reach Capital and Ulu Ventures, is revolutionizing how the world approaches food choices through their FoodHealth Score - the most widely distributed retail nutrition rating in the U.S. As an AI/ML Engineer on the founding technical team, you'll be instrumental in rebuilding the entire technical landscape, working at the intersection of system building, algorithm design, and applied research.

This role goes beyond traditional model-tuning, requiring strong mathematical intuition and software engineering capabilities. You'll be responsible for designing end-to-end ML pipelines, optimizing model performance, and implementing production-grade ML systems. The position offers a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge ML technologies while contributing to a mission of creating a world without diet-related disease.

The company offers a competitive compensation package of $145K-$175K plus bonus and equity, along with comprehensive benefits including health insurance, unlimited PTO, and a monthly food stipend. Based in San Francisco with a hybrid work arrangement (3 days in office), you'll report directly to the CTO and work alongside passionate engineers and researchers in a culture that values intellectual rigor, speed, transparency, and kindness.

This is an exceptional opportunity for someone with 3-7+ years of experience in AI/ML who wants to make a meaningful impact on public health while working with advanced technologies. You'll have high autonomy and decision-making power from day one, perfect for those who thrive in a startup environment poised for major scale and influence. The role requires permanent work authorization in the United States, as visa sponsorship is not available.
