🧠 [Hiring] Applied ML Engineer (IoT / Anomaly Detection) – Remote, Western Time Zones | LUNAVII

Source: reddit-r-remotejs

Hey everyone 👋

I’m Elvis, CTO at LUNAVII — we’re building the smallest and smartest child safety bracelet powered by AI. Our mission is simple but ambitious: use intelligent anomaly detection to prevent emergencies before they happen.

We’re now looking for an Applied Machine Learning Engineer who’s excited about bringing ML to life on real devices — detecting things like forced removal, fever, or unusual motion patterns from multi-sensor data.


About the Role

You’ll design and deploy an anomaly detection system that learns a child’s normal behavior and flags emergencies in real time.

Think:

  • Detecting forced vs normal removal using temperature and motion data
  • Recognizing runaway or panic motion
  • Differentiating water immersion vs hand washing
  • Learning routine patterns to minimize false alarms

It’s not just modeling — it’s applied intelligence for a real-world product that could save lives.


What You'll Work With

Tech stack / tools:

  • Python (pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch or TensorFlow)
  • AWS Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, CloudWatch, SNS
  • IoT / time-series / anomaly detection
  • Bonus: experience with sensor data simulation or edge ML

Requirements

  • Strong experience in ML applied to real-world data (time series, sensors, IoT, or wearables)
  • Ability to design detection logic, not just train models
  • Experience deploying ML pipelines on AWS
  • Comfortable writing clear, production-ready code
  • Independent, practical, and startup-minded

Details

  • 🌐 Remote-first (preferably in Western time zones)
  • 💰 Flexible contract or part-time role, potential to convert to full-time
  • 📈 Opportunity for equity as we scale
  • 🧩 Work directly with the founding team shaping our AI safety core

How to Apply

If this sounds like your kind of challenge, DM me here on Reddit or send a quick email to 📬 elvis@theworldoflunavii.com

Include your GitHub, Kaggle, or project links — we care more about what you’ve built than where you’ve worked.

Let’s make wearable AI truly intelligent. 🧠
