Machine Learning Engineer at Suno
Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBaojia Tong is a machine learning engineer with a decade of experience applying advanced ML and data-driven methods to real-world problems, currently building models at Suno in Cambridge. He holds a Ph.D. in experimental particle physics from Harvard, where he developed novel signal regions and ML-driven event selection that substantially boosted sensitivity in LHC searches. At Meta he led an accuracy workstream that improved a high-impact metric on novel devices by over 50%, pairing algorithm development with experimental data collection and simulation frameworks. Previously he built graph-based deep learning systems for document intelligence and productionized extraction pipelines for financial documents at Kensho. Comfortable moving between research-grade C++ and production ML stacks, he also has a track record of saving computation time at scale and mentoring teams. Outside of engineering, he balances rigorous scientific thinking with a playful team presence—an occasional sh*tposter and dedicated dogfooder.
