Summary
Jonas Wechsler is a Senior Data Scientist based in New York with 12 years of experience building production machine learning systems and data-driven products. He has driven ML and software efforts at Indeed since 2019 and cut his teeth on high-impact internships and roles at Amazon, SparkCognition, and Hanson Robotics where he shipped test automation, malware classification services, and expressive speech/animation systems. Jonas combines strong engineering practices—refactoring front-ends, automating test suites, and designing databases—with ML research experience from UT Austin on cache prefetching, giving him a rare blend of systems-level insight and applied modeling expertise. He’s comfortable moving models to production and spotting data issues early (once halving model misclassification by relabeling training data), and he enjoys creative technical work as evidenced by prior digital animation and algorithmic animation projects.
