Stop building AI that never meets production. Build systems that actually make impact. Most AI roles stop at tweaking models or working on proof-of-concepts. Yours won’t.

  • Combine AI, software engineering, and business impact

Time allocation: 70% client project work + 30% research, internal (domain) work and more. Note that ML6 is not an outsourcing firm, our agents work on projects together with a team of colleagues where autonomy is highly valued.
