Perform
Perform is the leading nearshore staff augmentation & consulting company exclusively focused on software engineers. Founded by engineers - for engineers.As the AI/ML Engineer, you’ll lead the development of our core machine learning systems. You’ll fine-tune large language models (LLMs), build NLP pipelines, automate insurance workflows, and implement user feedback loops for continual model improvement.
This is a role for someone who’s not afraid of ambiguity, gets energy from building things that don’t exist yet, and wants to work on meaningful problems with a small, fast-moving team.
You’ll also collaborate deeply with the founders (CEO & CTO) to help define the company’s technical direction.
Responsibilities:
- Natural Language Processing & Understanding:** Build and fine-tune NLP systems to extract structured data and insights from dense, jargon-heavy insurance documents.

- Architect training workflows that use user feedback and corrections to continually improve model performance.
- Apply computer vision to extract data from PDFs, scanned documents, and other unstructured formats.
- Build intelligent agents that interact with complex web interfaces using tools like Playwright or Selenium, and a strong understanding of DOM structures.
- Design robust evaluation pipelines and performance metrics for all models.
- Help architect scalable systems to support training, inference, and feedback pipelines.
- You’ll be building core systems from scratch—there’s no blueprint, and that excites you.
- Work directly with the founding team and early users to shape what we build—and how we build it.
Qualifications:
- 5+ years with Python development experience
