<h1>Machine Learning Engineer (Senior)</h1>About AZXOur mission is to accelerate positive impact in critical industries through AI transformation. We specialize in physics-informed ML and enterprise AI solutions that directly address climate and sustainability challenges.We’re growing quickly and already work with category-leaders in real estate (CBRE), energy (LevelTen Energy), logistics (Flexe) and utilities (Puget Sound Energy).We’re a public benefit corporation, founded in 2024, and have been profitable from the beginning (bootstrapped with consulting).We work on challenges in clean energy, decarbonization, climate risk, energy systems, and global economics. We’re building our company for long-term success and aim to create the ultimate place to work for those passionate about AI and making a positive impact.About the RoleWe seek a Machine Learning (ML) Software Engineer to help us deliver for our clients and invest in our platform. You’ll be one of the first full-time ML engineers and will have an enormous impact on all aspects of what we do.You'll join a company founded by experienced, successful veterans in climate and AI. The team brings exceptional expertise from Microsoft, AI2, ARM, acquired startups, and even a major utility, including PhDs, published ML researchers, and former industry executives.The role is initially 70% client delivery and 30% platform development, shifting to 50/50 over the first year.Some of our client projects are enterprise-style, and some are fast innovation cycles.

We are at the intersection of two highly disruptive transformations. AI is already outpacing critical industry capabilities while climate change is driving natural disasters, supply chain challenges and corporate and government policies. Organizations know they need to act, demanding lighter, faster, innovative solutions that drive differentiation and long-term value. AZX was created to meet these challenges head-on. We believe that mission-driven, experienced innovators and creators build adaptable solutions that outperform SaaS and traditional consulting. We removed all unnecessary barriers between ideation and execution. We focus on the client problems and build the solutions that make a difference to people and the climate. And do it with integrity, humility and love.
