Erdos Miller | Data Engineering & ML Roles ($120K-$160K + Benefits) | Remote (US) or Hybrid (Houston, TX) | https://erdosmiller.com
We're building technology that sends data through mud - literally. Our telemetry systems operate at extreme depths, temperatures, and pressures, serving both traditional drilling and pioneering sustainable energy applications like geothermal power. As a bootstrapped and profitable company of 35 people, we offer startup-like challenges with established business stability.
Two key roles we're hiring for:
1. Data Engineering:
- Build scalable platform monitoring thousands of drilling devices
- Create anomaly detection, performance monitoring and predictive maintenance systems
2. Machine Learning:
- Develop signal processing/denoising models for wireless telemetry
- Build ML systems for real-time signal recovery in high-noise environments
- Build data pipeline for continuous expansion of data, benchmarking and model deployment
Why join:
- Direct impact on real-world systems in a small team
- Unique hardware/software technical challenges
- Growth-focused culture with no red tape
- Help transition drilling tech to sustainable energy

Prefer US Work Authorization. Open to Canada, Europe. No agencies.
I'm posting this once more as there should be more traffic now. This occured during Janurary and early Feburary, adjust all dates as necessary. Thankfully a few weeks later something landed for me.

I had a poor experience with Erdos Miller. I'm willing to take the reputational hit because I think it's important that people go in with eyes open.
I was approached by the CEO of Erdos Miller to do some data science work on anomaly detection/failure prediction, and signal recovery down mud pipes in drill holes.
Over a period of two weeks we signed an NDA, and discussed the problems. I laid out several approaches to solving the anomaly detection/failure prediction problem, including specific algorithms to use (or not!). This is my bread and butter work, with hard won experience.
On Friday the 31st I had a call and a new fairly vanilla anomaly detection problem was discussed, which he (The CEO) wanted to go ahead with immediately. He was asking about explicit approaches to solving this, which I discussed. We agreed to start next week - He confirmed that we were unequivocally going ahead, rates were discussed without pushback. I sent a rate card after the conversation.
On Monday I emailed to sort out logistics for data access, billing, etc. He promptly replied that he was taking the project in house. Now I've seen this post listing exactly the problems I had laid out solutions to.
Erdos Miller went back on an explicit agreement they made on the very next business day, pumped me for hard earned experience, and took a free option on my time (This entire week is un-billable, possibly more). Finally he'll have a leg up on structuring the work for these two roles should he fill them. That leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
