Staff Software Engineer (NLP)

New York City (NYC)

Company overview

Consumer Edge is a data innovation and AI company transforming how professionals interpret consumer and business behavior. Our platform combines large-scale transaction data with advanced AI systems to deliver real-time insights to enterprise clients. Our technology team is distributed across Europe and North America, united by a focus on precision, scalability, and innovation.

 

Role summary

We are seeking an experienced Machine Learning Engineer with a specialization in Natural Language Processing (NLP) to solve one of our most critical and complex data challenges: entity resolution. In this role, you will design, build, and deploy production-scale systems to intelligently link records from disparate, massive datasets.

Your work will be foundational, creating a single, unified view of core entities (such as products, organizations, locations, and customers) that powers our analytics, product features, and business strategy. The ideal candidate is a hands-on problem-solver who thrives on end-to-end ownership—from collaborating on project scope and defining data needs to developing novel modeling strategies and deploying robust, scalable systems onto our cloud infrastructure (GCP & AWS).

 

Your main responsibilities

  • Design & Build: Lead the end-to-end development of machine learning pipelines for large-scale entity resolution, record linkage, and data matching.
  • NLP Modeling: Apply and customize advanced NLP techniques (e.g., entity extraction, semantic similarity, text vectorization, fuzzy matching) to compare and match entities from structured and unstructured text.
  • System Architecture: Engineer scalable and efficient data processing and model inference systems designed to handle terabyte scale datasets using cloud-native tools.
  • Deployment: Deploy, monitor, and maintain ML models and data pipelines in production on GCP (e.g., Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow).
  • Project Leadership: Collaborate closely with product managers, data engineers, and business stakeholders to scope new projects, define data requirements, and establish success metrics.
  • Communication & Documentation: Create clear, comprehensive design documents and effectively communicate complex technical concepts, trade-offs, and results to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Required Experience

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying machine learning models in a production environment.
  • Proven, demonstrable experience in Natural Language Processing (NLP) with a specific focus on entity resolution, record linkage, or data matching projects.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and common ML/data science libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, pandas, spaCy, Hugging Face Transformers).
  • Hands-on experience with ML deployment and data processing services on public cloud providers (GCP, AWS, or Azure).
  • Solid software engineering fundamentals, including version control (Git), testing, and CI/CD practices.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to document design decisions and present complex information clearly.

Desired experience

  • Experience building data-intensive applications and working with very large datasets using distributed computing frameworks (e.g., Apache Beam, Apache Spark, Dask, Ray).
  • Experience building NLP applications with an LLM based component
  • Familiarity with MLOps principles and tools (e.g., MLflow, Kubeflow, TFX).
  • Experience deploying AI/ML systems to production and integrating with data pipelines (e.g., ETL tools, Airflow, Dagster).
  • Publications in relevant conferences (e.g., ACL, EMNLP, KDD) or contributions to open-source projects.

 

Tech stack & team context

You’ll work within the Basketview group, collaborating with AI Products and Location teams. Stack includes Python, FastAPI, BigQuery, Dataflow, and Vertex AI, with a strong emphasis on scalable NLP solutions. The team spans US and EU time zones and focuses on building practical, high-impact data intelligence systems.

 

Benefits & perks

We are a remote-first company with a distributed environment and flexible working arrangements. We believe that distributed workers should be first-class citizens. We also have an office in New York if offices are your thing. 

 

Salary

The annual base salary for this role is between $225,000 – $275,000 based on experience, with the opportunity for a performance-based bonus, company equity, 401(k) matching, paid parental leave, flexible and generous time off, work-from-home flexibility, and subsidized health benefits.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
