About Special Projects Engineering LLC
At Special Projects Engineering, we rethink problems from the ground up. We’re a small, high-impact team based in Seattle focused on applying advanced AI to complex, often unconventional challenges. Our work spans autonomous systems, predictive infrastructure, synthetic biology, and defense-grade automation. If it’s ambitious, technical, and hasn’t been done before, we’re probably already working on it.
What You’ll Do
As a Neural Network Specialist, you’ll be responsible for designing and optimizing deep learning architectures that push the limits of what’s technically possible. You’ll collaborate closely with the CTO and a diverse team of engineers, scientists, and domain experts to move ideas from prototypes to deployment.
Key responsibilities:
Design, train, and evaluate neural network architectures for real-world use
Work with unstructured data including visual, auditory, textual, and time-series formats
Develop systems for tasks like perception, decision-making, prediction, and control
Optimize models for performance, scalability, and deployment on various platforms
Rapidly iterate on ideas while balancing reliability and experimental curiosity
Collaborate with hardware, embedded, and software teams to integrate models into real systems
Contribute to the ML roadmap, infrastructure, and toolchain
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience in deep learning or applied neural network research
Strong Python skills, with additional experience in C++ or Rust preferred
Expertise in PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX
Solid understanding of training techniques, loss functions, evaluation metrics, and deployment strategies
Experience with one or more domains like computer vision, NLP, reinforcement learning, or multimodal models
Comfortable owning projects from research through production
Bonus if you’ve worked with robotics, embedded AI, or unusual sensor inputs
Why You Might Care
Competitive salary and meaningful equity
Remote-friendly with flexible hours
Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
Access to top-tier GPU hardware
Small team, zero bureaucracy, high ownership
Projects that are genuinely interesting and occasionally a little insane
If you're serious about pushing neural networks into places they've never gone before, apply now and let's get to work.
