  • Staff Machine Learning Data Engineer

    Backflip 3.7company rating

    Data scientist job in San Francisco, CA

    Mechanical design, the work done in CAD, is the rate-limiter for progress in the physical world. However, there are only 2-4 million people on Earth who know how to CAD. But what if hundreds of millions could? What if creating something in the real world were as easy as imagining the use case, or sketching it on paper? Backflip is building a foundation model for mechanical design: unifying the world's scattered engineering knowledge into an intelligent, end-to-end design environment. Our goal is to enable anyone to imagine a solution and hit “print.” Founded by a second-time CEO in the same space (first company: Markforged), Backflip combines deep industry insight with breakthrough AI research. Backed by a16z and NEA, we raised a $30M Series A and built a deeply technical, mission-driven team. We're building the AI foundation that tomorrow's space elevators, nanobots, and spaceships will be built in. If you're excited to define the next generation of hard tech, come build it with us. The Role We're looking for a Staff Machine Learning Data Engineer to lead and build the data pipelines powering Backflip's foundation model for manufacturing and CAD. You'll design the systems, tools, and strategies that turn the world's engineering knowledge - text, geometry, and design intent - into high-quality training data. This is a core leadership role within the AI team, driving the data architecture, augmentation, and evaluation that underpin our model's performance and evolution. You'll collaborate with Machine Learning Engineers to run data-driven experiments, analyze results, and deliver AI products that shape the future of the physical world. What You'll Do Architect and own Backflip's ML data pipeline, from ingestion to processing to evaluation. Define data strategy: establish best practices for data augmentation, filtering, and sampling at scale. Design scalable data systems for multimodal training (text, geometry, CAD, and more). Develop and automate data collection, curation, and validation workflows. Collaborate with MLEs to design and execute experiments that measure and improve model performance. Build tools and metrics for dataset analysis, monitoring, and quality assurance. Contribute to model development through insights grounded in data, shaping what, how, and when we train. Who You Are You've built and maintained ML data pipelines at scale, ideally for foundation or generative models, that shipped into production in the real world. You have deep experience with data engineering for ML, including distributed systems, data extraction, transformation, and loading, and large-scale data processing (e.g. PySpark, Beam, Ray, or similar). You're fluent in Python and experienced with ML frameworks and data formats (Parquet, TFRecord, HuggingFace datasets, etc.). You've developed data augmentation, sampling, or curation strategies that improved model performance. You think like both an engineer and an experimentalist: curious, analytical, and grounded in evidence. You collaborate well across AI development, infra, and product, and enjoy building the data systems that make great models possible. You care deeply about data quality, reproducibility, and scalability. You're excited to help shape the future of AI for physical design. Bonus points if: You are comfortable working with a variety of complex data formats, e.g. for 3D geometry kernels or rendering engines. You have an interest in math, geometry, topology, rendering, or computational geometry. You've worked in 3D printing, CAD, or computer graphics domains. Why Backflip This is a rare opportunity to own the data backbone of a frontier foundation model, and help define how AI learns to design the physical world. You'll join a world-class, mission-driven team operating at the intersection of research, engineering, and deep product sense, building systems that let people design the physical world as easily as they imagine it. Your work will directly shape the performance, capability, and impact of Backflip's foundation model, the core of how the world will build in the future. Let's build the tools the future will be made in. #J-18808-Ljbffr

    Eon Systems PBC

    Data scientist job in San Francisco, CA

    About us At Eon, we are at the forefront of large-scale neuroscientific data collection. Our mission is to enable the safe and scalable development of brain emulation technology to empower humanity over the next decade, beginning with the creation of a fully emulated digital twin of a mouse. Role We're a San Francisco team collecting very large microscopy datasets and we need an expert to design and implement our end-to-end data pipeline, from high-rate ingest to multi-petabyte storage and downstream processing. You'll own the strategy (on-prem vs. S3 or hybrid), the bill of materials, and the deployment, and you'll be on the floor wiring, racking, tuning, and validating performance. Our current instruments generate data at ~1+ GB/s sustained (higher during bursts) and the program will accumulate multiple petabyes total over time. You'll help us choose and implement the right architecture considering reliability and cost controls. Outcomes (what success looks like) Within 2 weeks: Implement an immediate data-handling strategy that reliably ingests our initial data streams. Within 2 weeks: Deliver a documented medium-term data architecture covering storage, networking, ingest, and durability. Within 1 month: Operationalize the medium-term pipeline in production (ingest → buffer → long-term store → compute access). Ongoing: Maintain ≥95% uptime for the end-to-end data-handling pipeline after setup. Responsibilities Architect ingest & storage: Choose and implement an on-prem hardware and data pipeline design or a cloud/S3 alternative with explicit cost and performance tradeoffs at multi-petabyte scale. Set up a sustained-write ingest path ≥1 GB/s with adequate burst headroom (camera/frame-to-disk), including networking considerations, cooling, and throttling safeguards. Optimize footprint & cost: Incorporate on-the-fly compression/downsampling options and quantify CPU budget vs. write-speed tradeoffs; document when/where to compress to control $/PB. Integrate with acquisition workflows ensuring image data and metadata are compatible with downstream stitching/flat-field correction pipelines. Enable downstream compute: Expose the data to segmentation/analysis stacks (local GPU nodes or cloud). Skills 5+ years designing and deploying high-throughput storage or HPC pipelines (≥1 GB/s sustained ingest) in production. Deep hands-on with: NVMe RAID/striping, ZFS/MDRAID/erasure coding, PCIe topology, NUMA pinning, Linux performance tuning, and NIC offload features. Proven delivery of multi-GB/s ingest systems and petabyte-scale storage in production (life-sciences, vision, HPC, or media). Experience building tiered storage systems (NVMe → HDD/object) and validating real-world throughput under sustained load. Practical S3/object-storage know-how (AWS S3 and/or on-prem S3-compatible systems) with lifecycle, versioning, and cost controls. Data integrity & reliability: snapshots, scrubs, replication, erasure coding, and backup/DR for PB-scale systems.
