Senior🎓
Top SchoolMaximilian Klein is a Staff Data Engineer with 13 years of experience building data infrastructure and ML pipelines that bridge social-science questions and production-scale engineering. He has led cross-disciplinary efforts at Reddit and Meta to standardize datasets, scale labeling and measurement, and enable tens of models trained on millions of human-coded labels, while earlier work at Wikimedia and CivilServant translated research into live experiments that measurably improved user retention and civic A/B testing. Comfortable spanning research and production, he combines a PhD-level understanding of HCI and normativity in design with pragmatic tooling—creating foundational datasets, realtime bots, and reproducible workflows that help Data Science teams move faster. Based in Albany, CA, he pairs a mathematician’s taste for elegant solutions with a long history of community-minded open projects, from Wikipedia bots to citizen-science analytics.
