What you will do

All aspects of the machine learning development life cycle are familiar to you. You are passionate
about shipping large-scale software systems in a fast-paced environment but are able to balance

troubleshooting, debugging problems, integrating software end to end, building and setting up
new development tools and infrastructure, excited about finding ways to automate and improve
development and release processes while mentoring other developers.


You’re fluent in Python object-oriented development and in the cloud. In addition to working with

data technologies. You have the ability and enthusiasm to learn new technologies whether they
are infrastructure or language or platform, and easily adapt to change.


You are a team player, a quick starter and a problem solver. As well as comfortable talking
requirements with product managers. You work well in a cross-functional team and can listen and
contribute to discussions. Ideally provide readily available solutions while considering technical
aspects, effort, and risk. Your primary focus is shipping large-scale machine learning software
that drives customer value by building robust, scalable and data-intensive systems.
