About The Position

Merciv is building the intelligence layer for enterprise commerce. We connect an organization's entire data landscape — internal systems, social signals, industry reports, consumer behavior — and surface the insights and automated workflows that used to take analysts weeks. We raised $14M in seed funding, spent two years in stealth building the right thing, and we're now launching publicly. Our platform already drives 8-figure gross margin improvements for some of the world's largest retailers. We're a lean, high-ownership team. If you want to see your work matter immediately, this is it.

You'll build and deploy the intelligent systems at the core of Merciv. Our platform doesn't just surface insights — it reasons, forecasts, and acts autonomously across complex enterprise data landscapes. You'll develop the models and agentic architectures that power demand forecasting, consumer intelligence, competitive analysis, and autonomous decision-making for the world's largest retailers. This is applied AI at its most impactful. You'll work at the intersection of cutting-edge research and real enterprise deployment, building systems that generate tens of millions in value for clients.

Requirements

• 5+ years of applied ML/AI experience with models deployed in production
• An M.S. or Ph.D. in CS, Machine Learning, Statistics, or equivalent practical experience
• Deeply proficient in Python with hands-on experience in PyTorch, TensorFlow, or scikit-learn
• Strong background in statistical analysis, predictive modeling, and time series forecasting
• Experience working on agentic AI systems, multi-agent orchestration, NLP, LLMs, and RAG architectures
• Care about model interpretability and building systems enterprise users can actually trust

Nice To Haves

• Former technical founders are encouraged to apply — we care more about what you've built than how long you've been building

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and deploy ML models for demand forecasting, time series prediction, consumer sentiment analysis, and anomaly detection at enterprise scale
• Develop and iterate on Merciv's agentic AI architecture — building systems that reason across heterogeneous data sources and take autonomous action
• Build and maintain robust ML pipelines: data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and production deployment
• Architect RAG systems and LLM integrations that power Merciv's natural language interfaces and autonomous workflows
• Collaborate with backend engineers to ensure models are production-grade — optimized for latency, reliability, and scale
• Own model performance end-to-end: monitoring, retraining, and continuous improvement in production
• Stay at the frontier of AI research and bring relevant innovations into the platform
