Job description

What we are building

Mimicas mission is to empower enterprises teams and individuals to reclaim their most precious resource time and work more efficiently with greater purpose and impact.

Our AI‑powered task mining observes employee actions across the desktop and categorizes them into detailed process maps. Mimicas process intelligence highlights inefficiencies, prioritizes improvements based on ROI, recommends the optimal technology for automation (RPA, intelligent document processing, GenAI) and provides a blueprint for building new automations and transforming work.

Our approach to engineering

• We prioritize customer needs first
• We work in small project‑based teams
• We have flexibility in terms of the problems we work on
• We own the full lifecycle of our projects
• We avoid silos and encourage taking up tasks in new areas
• We balance quality and velocity
• We have a shared responsibility for our production code
• We each set our own routine to maximize our productivity

What will you own

In this role you will be a member of the ML Chapter and work with the Mapper team. Mimica Mapper is one of our main products that creates intuitive flowcharts that map out user and team workflows. Its architecture includes components designed to automatically detect task similarities.

For the first 3 to 6 months you will own projects to improve the task similarity algorithm and the use of the Mapper.

Part of your day‑to‑day

• Design and run experiments to improve our task‑similarity algorithms using a mix of classic and deep learning techniques.
• Write clear technical reports that document experiments and their results.
• Write clean readable and maintainable Python code assuring best practices.
• Interface with our internal Process Analyst team to discover opportunities on which parts of the product can be automated, find out pain points and explore automation solutions by leveraging ML.
• Support productionization (although we have a dedicated MLOps Engineer for that!)
• Actively collaborate and engage in technical discussions with the other Engineers, Product Managers in the team and ML Chapter to drive the development of the product.
• Contribute to knowledge sharing and the improvement of our processes.

Requirements

• A researcher mindset with curiosity and rigour in exploring and solving complex problems.
• Experience with deep learning methods and techniques.
• Experience with transformer and embedding architecture.
• Strong technical skills in designing, setting up, running and evaluating experiments.
• Proficiency in supervised and unsupervised learning techniques.
• Excellent written communication skills including the ability to produce clear and concise reports.
• Strong Python programming skills emphasising clear readable code; while productionization support may be involved it is not the primary focus.
• A drive to continually develop your skills, improve team processes and reduce technical debt.
• Fluency in English with the ability to effectively communicate abstract ideas, complex concepts and trade‑offs.

Bonus

• Graph ML knowledge
• Experience working in a startup / scale‑up environment

What we offer

Generous compensation stock options - aligned with our internal framework, market data and individual skills.

Distributed work: Work from anywhere - fully remote in our hubs or a mix.

Company‑issued laptop

• Remote setup stipend and co‑working budget
