ABA Rank operates an independent, transparent index of Applied Behavior Analysis software providers, service vendors, and clinics, ranking them nightly on disclosed inputs: qualified reviews, decision facts, and category fit. We're hiring an AI Engineer to help build and improve the intelligent systems behind our matching, search, and ranking tools — helping ABA clinics, buyers, and coaches find the right vendor faster and with more confidence.
What you'll do
- Design, build, and deploy machine learning and AI-driven features that power vendor matching, search relevance, and recommendation flows on the platform
- Develop and maintain data pipelines that feed model training and evaluation from our directory and review data
- Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate matching and ranking requirements into shippable AI features
- Evaluate, fine-tune, or integrate large language models and other ML approaches where they improve user-facing search and matching
- Monitor model performance in production, iterating on accuracy, latency, and reliability
- Write clear documentation of model behavior, data assumptions, and system design for internal stakeholders
What we're looking for
- Professional experience building and shipping machine learning or AI-powered features in production systems
- Strong programming skills in Python (or a comparable language) and familiarity with common ML/AI frameworks
- Experience working with structured and unstructured data, including search, ranking, or recommendation systems
- Solid understanding of model evaluation, testing, and monitoring practices
- Comfort working cross-functionally with product and engineering teams in a fast-moving environment
- Clear written and verbal communication skills for explaining technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
Nice to have
- Experience with large language models, embeddings, or retrieval-augmented systems
- Background in marketplace, directory, or search/ranking products
- Familiarity with healthcare, behavioral health, or verification-heavy data environments
