Junior AI Engineer — ClickMint

📍 Malibu, CA (Hybrid)


ClickMint is a fast-growing eCommerce conversion optimization startup. We use AI-driven diagnostics, experimentation, and behavioral data to help modern brands unlock revenue already embedded in their traffic. Our work lives at the intersection of machine learning, product, and real-world business impact—not research for research’s sake.


This is an early-career role with meaningful exposure to production AI systems, experimentation infrastructure, and applied decision modeling, working closely with senior engineers and product leaders.


What You’ll Do

  • Support the development and iteration of AI-driven features across diagnostics, experimentation, and analytics
  • Work with structured and behavioral data to build, test, and refine models used in real customer environments
  • Assist in training, evaluating, and deploying models used for prediction, classification, and optimization
  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering to translate ideas into shippable, testable systems
  • Help maintain data pipelines, feature extraction logic, and model evaluation workflows
  • Participate in experimentation design, validation, and post-test analysis
  • Contribute to internal tooling and prototypes that accelerate learning and deployment


What You Bring

  • 0–3 years of experience in machine learning, data science, or applied AI roles
  • Strong foundations in Python and modern ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar)
  • Familiarity with supervised learning, basic statistics, and model evaluation concepts
  • Comfort working with real-world data (messy, incomplete, opinionated)
  • Curiosity, strong problem-solving instincts, and a willingness to learn quickly
  • Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly to non-ML teammates


Nice to Have (Not Required)

  • Experience with experimentation platforms, A/B testing, or causal inference concepts
  • Exposure to LLMs, embeddings, or prompt-driven systems
  • Familiarity with data tooling (SQL, dbt, Airflow, or similar)
  • Interest in eCommerce, growth, or behavioral analytics


Why ClickMint

  • Early-stage startup with real responsibility and mentorship—not “watch from the sidelines” work
  • Hybrid culture with tight feedback loops between product, engineering, and business
  • Hands-on exposure to production AI systems, not toy projects
  • Opportunity to grow into a senior AI or applied ML role as the platform scales


If you’re excited about applying AI to real decisions—and seeing your work ship, learn, and compound—this is a strong place to start.
