• Knowledge of professional software engineering best practices for the full software development life cycle, including testing methods, coding standards, code reviews and source control management;
• Experience working across the entire ML research and product lifecycle from prototyping to production is a plus;
• Experience building microservices, data pipelines and using relational and non‑relational databases is a plus;
• Experience working with data science tooling and deep learning frameworks is a plus;
• Experience with DevOps engineering (CI/CD pipelines, observability, containers etc) is a plus.

What’s in it for you?

• Become part of a team that thinks progressively and works collaboratively. We care about seeing each other reach full potential;
