Job Description
Applied AI/ML Engineer – Performance Intelligence Systems
Leidos
• Design and build AI- and machine learning–enabled performance intelligence systems that continuously analyze operational performance data and identify emerging risks, degradation patterns, and improvement opportunities. • Design and implement analytical services, pipelines, and tooling in Python that incorporate AI/ML methods and transform operational data into continuously updated performance intelligence. • Build cloud-deployed analytical tools and services that enable automated or semi-automated detection of performance issues tied to contractual Service Level Requirements (SLRs). • Translate messy operational challenges into practical analytical solutions, combining statistical methods, machine learning techniques, and domain-informed logic. • Engineer reusable analytical capabilities, frameworks, and software components that strengthen the team’s long-term ability to diagnose and improve operational performance. • Collaborate with performance analysts, engineers, and program stakeholders to frame problems and design data-driven approaches to improving program outcomes. • Investigate systemic performance issues and engineer tools that surface root causes, prioritization signals, and improvement opportunities. • Communicate technical insights and analytical findings clearly to both technical teams and program leadership. • Support broader Navy performance initiatives by extending analytical methods and tooling beyond individual SLR use cases when appropriate.
Job Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree with 8+ years of experience applying data science, machine learning, or AI to real-world operational or performance problems (additional experience may be considered in lieu of degree)
- Strong Python development experience building maintainable, production-quality software.
- Experience designing and implementing analytical pipelines, data processing workflows, or AI/ML-enabled analytical systems.
- Experience working with large, messy, or heterogeneous operational datasets and extracting meaningful signals.

About the Role: You'll own the full lifecycle of machine learning at ServiceUp, from exploration and model development through production deployment and iteration. You'll collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering to identify where ML can create value and translate model outputs into features customers use. Our data stack today includes PostgreSQL, BigQuery, and Hex, but this is our first dedicated ML hire. We'll look to you to help shape the ML tooling and infrastructure. What You'll Do: - Own and expand the model portfolio. Drive the ML engineering process from idea to production. - Define success metrics and evaluation frameworks for each model. - Productionize ML models. Take experiments to production with real-time inference, monitoring, retraining pipelines, and phased rollouts with feature flags and guardrails. - Build and evaluate classifiers with rigorous offline and online methods. - Design feature engineering pipelines across repair orders, shop performance, fleet behavior, vehicle attributes, and cost benchmarks. - Own model evaluation including cross validation, XAI, confidence calibration, bias detection, A/B testing, and shadow mode comparison against human decisions. What You'll Bring: - 7+ years of applied ML experience with a track record of shipping models to production. - Strong statistics and ML fundamentals. Bias-variance tradeoffs, class imbalance, calibration, and knowing when a simpler model wins. - Deep experience with tabular data, feature engineering on structured data, and messy real-world datasets. - Production ML experience. Feature drift, data quality, monitoring, and the gap between offline metrics and real-world performance. - Proficiency with ML tooling and frameworks. Our stack is Python-based today, but we care more about shipping production-quality code than any specific language. - SQL fluency for data exploration, feature building, and model validation. - Excellent communication and collaboration skills in a remote environment. Nice to Have: - Domain experience in marketplaces, fleet operations, or repair/maintenance workflows. - Anomaly and fraud detection experience. - Practical LLM experience for explanation generation or data enrichment (not as the core model). Why You’ll Love Working Here: We live our values every day: Team First, Work Smart, Own It, Be Bold, Push Boundaries. If that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in What We Offer: - Competitive pay with equity - Medical, dental, and vision coverage - Flexible PTO and company holidays - Remote-friendly setup with home office support - Learning and development budget - Wellness stipend to support your health and well-being - Paid parental leave Benefits may vary by location and role. If you’re motivated by impact and aligned with our values, we want to hear from you. You don’t need to meet every single requirement — we care about your skills, drive, and how you work with a team. Service Up is an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse, inclusive workplace where everyone can do their best work.
