You’ll work alongside teams that have joined from world-class tech companies like NVIDIA, Amazon, Datadog, Vercel, Meta, GitHub, and Uber.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with customers to identify and address their ML deployment needs.
• Implement and optimize ML solutions using Python, open-source tools, and infrastructure.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance product features based on client feedback.
• Work with Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud platforms.

Ideal Candidates Have

• 5+ years of backend (Python) software engineering experience in a fast-paced, high-growth, product environment, ideally as a Co-Founder or Founding Engineer.
• Some interest or experience with the lifecycle of ML model development and deployment.
• Computer Science degree or similar field of study.
• Excellent English communication skills with proven experience liaising effectively with customers (other software engineers or ML engineers).
• Strong problem-solving skills and a customer-centric, product engineering mindset.

This role offers insights into the opportunities and challenges companies face when implementing AI/ML solutions at scale and is ideal for entrepreneurial engineers.
