ML Engineer

Location: Hybrid (HQ in Cesena, we value work-life balance but also meaningful human interactions!)

About Us - IdentifAI

IdentifAI is a Milan-based startup founded in 2024 with a clear mission: to empower individuals and organizations to distinguish between human and AI-generated content. In a digital world where authenticity is increasingly under threat, we are committed to promoting transparency and trust by helping society navigate the complexities of online information. We aim to become a key player in verifying the authenticity of digital content, ensuring that every person can confidently engage with the material they encounter.

At IdentifAI, we are dreamers and challenge-lovers (who aren’t afraid of risk!) with a little bit of nerdy flair. We believe that making mistakes is a vital part of innovation: exploration is our way of life, and every challenge is an opportunity to discover something new.

The Role  

We are seeking a skilled ML Engineer (2-3 years of experience is a plus) to join our growing team. This role combines infrastructure management, security, and machine learning operations to support scalable and reliable AI deployments. If you’re excited by the prospect of building efficient pipelines, securing environments, and driving automation in a fast-paced startup setting, we’d love to meet you!

What You’ll Do

• Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models focused on computer vision and/or audio processing tasks.
• Work on media analysis pipelines for tasks such as content classification, anomaly detection, or deepfake detection.
• Collaborate with software engineers, researchers, and product teams to integrate ML components into scalable production systems.
• Create and analyze large datasets (images, video, audio) to extract meaningful insights and improve model accuracy and robustness.
• Stay up-to-date with recent advances in machine learning, particularly in vision and audio, and contribute to internal research efforts.
• Collaborate with partners from different universities

What We’re Looking For

• 2–3+ years of experience working in machine learning, preferably with a focus on vision and/or audio tasks is a plus.
• Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
• Solid understanding of ML lifecycle: data preprocessing, model training, evaluation, and deployment.
• Experience in media forensics or related domains (e.g., deepfake detection, tampering analysis) is a strong plus.
• Ability to write clean, maintainable code and collaborate in a fast-paced team environment.
• Knowledge of scripting languages (Python, Bash, etc.) for automation.
• Passion for working in a startup environment with a proactive and adaptable mindset.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a mission-driven startup where your work makes a real impact.
• Enjoy a hybrid work setup in Cesena that values home/work balance and promotes collaboration.
• Grow your career with a supportive and enthusiastic team eager to innovate.
• Contribute to a vision of ensuring authenticity and trust in digital content.
