WHAT YOU WILL DO

onX is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer with a passion for building scalable platform Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems. Your focus will be on designing, developing, and scaling secure authentication, authorization, and user management services that are foundational to our platform. You will play a key role in evolving our IAM platform and delivering seamless cross-platform authentication across iOS, Android, and web.

You will be part of our Core Services team that enables product teams to build faster and more securely by providing core infrastructure, services, and patterns.

• Define and implement SLIs/SLOs for IAM services; drive reliability engineering practices including incident response and performance optimization
• Write thorough unit, integration, and acceptance tests to ensure high service quality and maintainability
• Document APIs, service architectures, and technical decisions for internal stakeholders and external partners as needed
• Collaborate closely with fellow engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders through design reviews, paired programming, and cross-functional planning sessions
• Leverage and extend existing onX services and platform patterns to drive consistency and reduce duplication
• Proactively improve system monitoring, alerting, diagnostics, and operational readiness of IAM-related services
• Participate in an on-call rotation to ensure backend services remain highly available and reliable
• Mentor and share knowledge with engineers on your team
• Lead by example and embody onX's company values, fostering a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and collaboration

ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for a Data Scientist who views machine learning as a product, not just a research project. You will be a foundational member of our AI team, responsible for designing, building, and deploying sophisticated models that solve complex business problems. You aren't just an expert in XGBoost or Transformers; you are an expert in building the pipelines that make these models reliable, scalable, and impactful.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
^{Essential Job Duties & Functions}

• End-to-End Model Development: Design and implement the full ML lifecycle—from exploratory data analysis (EDA) and feature engineering to model selection, tuning, and validation.
• GCP Architecture: Leverage the full Google Cloud AI suite (Vertex AI, BigQuery ML, Dataflow, and Pub/Sub) to build robust, cloud-native ML solutions.
• MLOps & Engineering: Implement CI/CD for machine learning (CT - Continuous Training) to ensure models remain performant in production environments.
• Strategic Leadership: Partner with stakeholders to translate ambiguous business challenges into technical roadmaps. Mentor junior scientists and advocate for best practices in code quality and experiment tracking.
• Look for opportunities to embed AI as a repeatable co-pilot in daily workflows by integrating experimentation into real work, and continuously refining its use with sound judgment and validation.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• 5+ years in a professional Data Science role with a track record of deploying models at scale.
• Proficiency in Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, and Looker. Experience with Kubeflow is a major plus.
• Expert-level Python (pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow), Spark, and advanced SQL.
• Deep understanding of statistics and ML theory (e.g., Gradient Descent, Bias-Variance tradeoff, Bayesian inference).
• Experience with ETL/ELT processes, specifically using dbt.
• A strong curiosity for exploring new technologies, including AI

• Data Warehouse: BigQuery
• Orchestration: Airflow (Cloud Composer)
• Modeling: Vertex AI Pipelines, JupyterLab
• Deployment: Docker, GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine)

Pro Tip for the Candidate: We value "clean code" as much as "smart math." If you treat your notebooks like production scripts and your Git history is a work of art, you’ll fit right in.

What Sets You Apart

• The "Product" Mindset: You understand that a model with 99% accuracy is useless if it costs more to run than the value it creates.
• Infrastructure as Code: You are comfortable with Terraform or similar tools to manage your cloud resources.
• Communication: You can explain the "why" behind a complex neural network architecture to an executive without using jargon.
