Requirements

Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering or related field (PhD preferred for deep generative/3D modeling emphasis)
12+ years of professional experience in machine learning, artificial intelligence, or data science roles — with several years in senior or principal capacity leading major programs
Demonstrated experience architecting and delivering large scale ML/AI solutions - end-to-end from data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring & operations
Deep expertise in machine learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch), data engineering, model infrastructure, MLOps, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and scalable production systems
Experience in 3D modeling / geometry / computer vision / generative models (e.g., point-cloud processing, mesh processing, text23D, image23D, CAD/CAM integration) is highly desirable
Strong exposure to generative AI techniques (large language models, multimodal models, diffusion, GANs) and translating them into business use-cases
Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills: you can partner with product, engineering, ops, manufacturing, design, business leadership and translate technical concepts into business language
Proven ability to influence without direct authority and drive change across organizations
Strong communication and presentation skills

Job Responsibility

Serve as the technical leader of multiple large, cross-functional ML/AI solutions with significant, lasting impact across Xometry’s business
Define, and drive the 18-24-month ML/AI technical roadmap - balancing breakthrough innovation (e.g., generative 3D, foundation models, large-scale vision/3D pipelines) with reliable business value delivery (e.g., quoting accuracy, lead-time reduction, defect detection, cost optimization)
Influence partner roadmaps across engineering, product, operations, and business teams: align priorities, advise on resourcing, champion ML/AI best practices
Proactively identify and remove roadblocks for teams and projects — whether technical, operational, data-related, or resource constraints
Mentorship of individuals and technical teams
Act as a trusted SME with strong cross-functional partnerships: your insights and guidance will shape ML/AI infrastructure, data, model, infrastructure, and tooling decisions
Play a leadership role in identifying areas of opportunity — e.g., using ML/AI to unlock new revenue streams (e.g., rapid quoting for new manufacturing modalities, generative design for customers), reduce cost (e.g., automated quality inspection), or optimize efficiency (e.g., 3D-geometry classification, defect detection, generating manufacturing ready models)
Address problems adjacent to your sphere of immediate influence: proactively tackle challenges outside direct scope and champion holistic solutions
Stay ahead of industry developments in ML, AI, generative AI, 2D/3D modeling and manufacturing tech
translate insights into the improvement of internal best practices, tooling, frameworks, model governance, data pipelines, and operationalization

Expiration Date

Requirements

AI/ML Engineering — Hands-on LLM API experience (context management, tool use, evaluation, failure modes). Agentic systems design. AI safety at the infrastructure level, not just the prompt level.
Cyber Security — Vulnerability research, exploit development, or pen testing with real depth. Detection engineering for novel attack patterns. Threat modelling (STRIDE, ATT&CK). Security architecture.
Software Engineering — You've built and operated production systems, not just prototypes. Strong Python and/or systems programming. Bonus if you're comfortable reading disassembly or tracing through kernel code.
Research & Communication — Can digest dense technical research and turn it into actionable security recommendations. Published research, conference talks, or open-source contributions.
Mindset - You love to engineer solutions to problems vs purchasing tools, and you see problems as opportunities
At any level: genuinely curious, comfortable with ambiguity, biased toward building, able to work across disciplines.
Assistant Vice President (C12 Mid - Senior Level): 5-7+ years. Own workstreams end-to-end with real autonomy. You'll go deep on problems that most organizations don't even know they have yet.
Vice President (C13 Senior - Lead/Staff Level): 8-10+ years. Define technical approach, make architectural decisions, mentor others. The scope here is wider than most senior IC roles — you're not optimizing an existing system
you're designing ones that don't exist yet.
Senior Vice President (C14 Lead/Staff - Principal Level): 10+ years. Set technical direction for a function and influence the firm's approach to AI security. If you've hit a ceiling elsewhere because the problem space isn't big enough, it's big enough here.
