• Design, implement, and optimize workflow orchestration and scheduling systems.
• Work on scalability, for both compute and artifact storages.
• Implement advanced techniques for processing and managing unstructured data.
• Help implement techniques for processing unstructured data.
• Contribute to product strategy with a focus on usability for non-expert users.

What You Will Contribute

• Proficiency in Python programming.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Dask, and PostgreSQL.
• Familiarity with ML-specific open-source tools such as MLFlow, Sematic, and vector databases.
