Senior Software Engineer II (TASER Data Science)

Responsibilities

• This is the opposite of a silo - and it comes with a tradeoff: you won't always have another SWE in the room, so you'll need to be technically self-sufficient. What you get in return is a team with more depth of experience per person than most engineering environments you've worked in.
• Reports to: Director, TASER Data Science
• Build and ship data products: dashboards, metrics systems, and recommendation tools that drive real decisions
• Own production ML deployment - bring models from research to reliable production systems with monitoring, versioning, and operational rigor
• Build and own data pipelines from TASER device telemetry through to analytics surfaces used by agencies and internal stakeholders
• Set technical direction for the team's engineering practices - the data scientists here write code and want to do it better; you'll be the senior engineering voice they've been missing
• Work across the full stack - device-side data ingestion through user-facing analytics - and move between projects to build breadth
• Use AI tools as a core part of your development workflow, not a novelty
• What You Bring

Requirements

• You write production code at a high standard - strongly typed, comprehensively tested, designed for the people who will maintain it after you. We write Python like software engineers, not data scientists.
• You've deployed and operated ML systems in production: model serving, monitoring, failure handling, and the operational rigor that keeps them running
• You identify the most important technical work and go after it - you've shaped technical roadmaps, influenced peers and organizational direction, and moved goals forward with or without explicit direction
• You define the problem as much as you solve it - you thrive in a team where requirements evolve as you learn, and you see that as a feature, not a bug
• You've worked with real-world messy data: device logs, behavioral data, event streams, or similar
• Strong preferences:
• Advanced degree in a quantitative or analytical field - PhDs are very welcome, we already have three
• Intellectual background outside computer science is genuinely valued here: statistics, physics, engineering, biology, economics, linguistics, philosophy - it doesn't have to be a "hard science." We hire for intellectual diversity because it makes the work better.
• Hands-on experience with ML production tooling: model registry, serving infrastructure, pipeline orch
