Staff AI/ML Engineer

About the Role

At Sigma, we’re not just adding AI—we’re building the future of how people work with data. Our platform already lets users explore billions of rows of data in seconds with a spreadsheet-like interface, analyze and present their data in workbooks, and build data apps and workflows. Now we’re pushing further, applying AI to reshape how people build in Sigma, discover insights, and make smarter decisions—fast.

That’s where you come in. As an AI/ML Engineer, you’ll join a growing team focused on building the AI foundation that will power Sigma for the future. Your work will become an integral part of the workflow for the thousands of enterprises that run on Sigma. 

What You’ll Do

• Partner with product, design, and engineering teams to identify high-impact AI/ML opportunities
• Prototype and productionize AI systems that feel intuitive but do a lot under the hood—recommendations, natural language interfaces, agentic workflows, and more
• Develop and scale AI/ML infrastructure that powers both internal tooling and customer-facing features
• Tackle novel UX problems at the intersection of AI, BI, and apps

What You Bring

• 10 years of experience building and deploying production-grade AI/ML systems
• Deep knowledge of machine learning, deep learning, and applied AI
• Experience across the full ML lifecycle: data curation, training, deployment, monitoring
• A track record of building things that ship—whether it’s recommendations, search, machine translation, or something equally complex
• Experience adapting or training foundation models (language or multimodal) for novel domains

Bonus Points (or skills you’ll build here)

• You've built agents that can plan, reason, and use tools
• You know your way around cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
• You’ve worked in a fast-moving startup or high-growth environment

About us:

Sigma is the only cloud analytics and business intelligence tool empowering business teams to break free from the confines of the dashboard, explore data for themselves, and make better, faster decisions. The award-winning software was built to capitalize on the performance power of cloud data warehouses to combine data sources and analyze billions of rows of data instantly via an intuitive, spreadsheet-like interface – no coding required.

Since launching with its unique interface, Sigma Computing has added features such as collaboration tools and embedded analytics capabilities. The most recent product launch included a set of AI tools such as forecasting capabilities, an AI copilot and a notebook interface for users who prefer a code-first environment.

Sigma announced its $200M in Series D financing in May 2024, to continue transforming BI through its innovations in AI infrastructure, data application development, enterprise-wide collaboration, and business user adoption. Spark Capital and Avenir Growth Capital co-led the Series D funding round, with additional participation from a group of past investors including Snowflake Ventures and Sutter Hill Ventures.The Series D funding, raised at a valuation 60% higher than the company’s Series C round three years ago, promises to further accelerate Sigma’s growth.
