You will leverage your machine learning expertise to steer the team, while ensuring adherence to top-tier engineering practices.

You ensure that ML models are deployed reliably at scale, suitable cost, and with measurable quality. 

You'll work with different partners (Engineering, Product, Architects and Tech Leads) to ensure your team's roadmap is aligned with company strategy and the team is shipping architecturally sound software at a regular cadence.

  • Proven expertise in managing the delivery of machine learning projects to production.

  • Expertise in NLP or Information Retrieval is a big plus.

  • Great communication skills, both written and verbal.

  • Refined prioritization skills, you are able to focus your time and energy where it’ll have the most impact.

  • A dedication to continual self-development.

  • Collaborative, upbeat work ethic where you can take ownership and have fun.

What our tech stack looks like

  • Our code is written in Python, Ruby, Scala, and Java.

  • Our servers live in AWS.

  • Our machine learning models rely on PyTorch and Tensorflow.

  • Our ML pipelines use AWS Batch and EMR.

  • Our data is stored in S3, RDS MySQL, Redis, ElasticSearch, and Aurora.

  • Our services are deployed to Kubernetes using Docker, and use Kafka for stream-processing.

What we offer

  • Full ownership of the projects you work on.

  • What you will be doing will have a huge impact.

  • Team of passionate people who love what they do.

  • Interesting projects, ability to implement your own ideas and improvements.

  • Opportunity to learn and grow.

...and everything you need to be effective and maintain work-life balance

  • Flexible working hours.

  • Professional development funds.
