The opportunity
Scale has been the leading AI data foundry, helping fuel the most exciting advancements in AI, including frontier model training, enterprise adoption, defense applications, and more. Our mission is to develop reliable AI systems for the world’s most important decisions.
What you'll do
Own the product roadmap and execution for one or more product areas within: Global Defense, driving what gets built and how it ships
Be hands-on: write specs, prototype solutions, dig into technical: architecture with engineers, and make product calls grounded in real technical understanding
Design and ship AI-powered products and tooling for defense and national: security workflows, working side-by-side with engineering and ML teams
Use customer context to inform what you build: understand allied defense workflows deeply enough to make opinionated product decisions, not just relay requirements
Navigate the unique constraints of defense product development across allied: nations — classification environments, accreditation processes, air-gapped deployments — or be ready to learn these fast
Operate like a founding team member: wear multiple hats, move fast, unblock yourself, and drive outcomes across engineering, operations, and go-to-market
What they're looking for
- Builder mentality: you’re energized by going from zero to one, not by managing from a distance
- + years of experience in software engineering, ML engineering, or a deeply: technical product role where you were hands-on with what shipped
- Technical fluency: software engineering or ML background (master’s degree in computer science or equivalent experience). Experience training or evaluating models is a plus
- Deep intellectual curiosity about AI systems: you read papers, dig into technical details, and have strong opinions about how things should be built
