We are focused on helping our users discover the truth more quickly, and act on data with confidence. <br/><br/>- We are focused on algorithm excellence, to provide the most robust and trusted experience possible. <br/>- We are creating a world-class toolset to solve complex challenges quickly and iteratively. <br/>- AI will be leveraged everywhere, in all stages of the discovery process to better manage cases and to optimize product operations. <br/><br/>As a team, we believe in exploration, experimentation, and bringing your curiosity to work every day. We know that you can’t innovate without experimentation — and a little failure happens on the path to invention. We use the latest and greatest to ensure we are the best. We strive to experiment, ship, and learn every day. <br/><br/>About Data Science at Relativity <br/>Relativity’s scale and breadth create tremendous variety for rich data exploration and insights; our market position and scaled products mean our models and insights can quickly be in the hands of our users. Great insights can’t happen without great data, and the best insights come from massive data. Our data infrastructure and engineering ensure that the breadth of Relativity data is available for insights, confidential data is kept confidential, data is always protected, and we are investing heavily in data-pipeline and data-lake technology moving forward. <br/>If you’re looking for a data-rich environment that is already heavily using AI, with at-scale challenge and a ton of innovation and experimentation ahead, you will find yourself at home on the AI team within Relativity. <br/><br/>About the Staff AI Engineer Role <br/>Staff AI Engineers at Relativity operate as domain architects and strategic accelerators. You will work across multiple engineering and data-science teams, defining the long-term vision for Relativity’s ML platform, guiding high-impact projects from concept to production, and ensuring that our AI capabilities remain secure, reliable, and cost-effective at global scale.<p></p><p></p><p><i><u><b>Job Description and Requirements </b></u></i></p><p><b><span>Responsibilities</span></b><span> </span></p><ul><li><p><b><span>Technical Vision &amp; Strategy.</span></b><span><span> Define and evangelize the multi-year technical roadmap for ML Ops, aligning platform architecture with product and research needs.</span></span><span> </span></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><b><span>Cross-Team Leadership.</span></b><span><span> Provide technical direction and mentorship across several engineering squads—an evolution of the senior expectation to “work with a team of engineers” and the lead mandate to “lead a team of engineers</span><span>” .</span></span><span> </span></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><b><span>Platform Architecture Ownership.</span></b><span><span> Drive the design of training, inference, and monitoring systems that meet demanding timelines, extensibility, performance, and scale goals.</span></span><span> </span></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><b><span>Program Management.</span></b><span><span> Partner with product, program, and science leaders to scope and deliver cross-functional roadmaps, minimizing risks and maximizing opportunities.</span></span><span> </span></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><b><span>Innovation &amp; Standards.</span></b><span><span> Evaluate emerging ML Ops tooling, </span><span>establish</span><span> engineering standards, and champion advanced optimization techniques (sparsity, quantization, pruning) for cost and performance gains.</span></span><span> </span></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><b><span>Governance &amp; Compliance.</span></b><span><span> Collaborate with security teams to uphold robust data</span><span> </span><span>protection and responsible</span><span> </span><span>AI practices </span><span>at</span><span> scale.</span></span><span> </span></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><b><span>Community &amp; Mentorship.</span></b><span><span> Foster a culture of learning by leading architecture reviews, publishing best practices, and mentoring senior and lead </span><span>engineers</span><span> </span><span>organization</span><span> </span><span>wide.</span></span><span> </span></p></li></ul><p></p><p><b><span>Minimum Qualifications</span></b><span> </span></p><ul><li><p><b><span>8+ years</span></b><span><span> of professional software engineering experience, including </span></span><b><span>5+ years</span></b><span><span> in ML/AI or big-data environments and </span></span><b><span>4+ years</span></b><span><span> of technical leadership across multiple teams.</span></span><span> </span></p></li></ul><ul><li><p>
