Kiso Technology:

Kiso Technology is a boutique technical consultancy based in San Francisco. We develop algorithms, models, and software systems to solve complex problems in a variety of domains. Clients range from early-stage startups to some of the largest companies in the world.

The Role:

As a Member of the Technical Staff, you will join a team with deep expertise in machine learning, optimization, data science, software engineering, and analytics strategy. You will work on small, focused project teams (typically 2-4 people) to deliver end-to-end solutions to ambiguous questions like “How can we manage our inventory more efficiently?” and “Why are we losing customers?”

Our technical staff own this entire process—from framing the problem to building a solution and ensuring it drives lasting impact. Some examples of solutions we might deliver:

Coherent hierarchical probabilistic forecasting model, for thousands of products with intermittent demand
Real-time delivery route planner, accounting for traffic conditions and live order changes
LLM-based agent to answer customer questions, given a proprietary data lake with unstructured conversations

While our work is highly collaborative, you do need to be self-directed and able to work independently.

We are looking for:

Strong skills and professional experience in at least one of the following: (1) software engineering in a collaborative, production environment; (2) applied math, e.g. operations research, statistics, probability, and/or machine learning
Excellent communication skills, can distill technical concepts for non-technical audiences
Comfort in a client-facing role

Nice to have:

PhD in computer science, statistics, applied mathematics, or a related field
Successful track record leading large-scale technical projects, especially in a customer-facing role
Deep expertise and/or thought leadership in a technical field (e.g. influential writing, strong publication record, professorship)

We offer highly competitive compensation. This is an in-person role, based out of our office in San Francisco. We offer relocation assistance for new employees.

We’d love to hear from you!
