About the team

• The machine learning team is a closely knit team responsible for building models and services that support key workflows for IDfy.
• Our models are critical for these workflows and as such are expected to perform accurately and with low latency. We use a mix of conventional and hand-crafted deep learning models.
• The team comes from diverse backgrounds and experience. We respect opinions and believe in honest, open communication.
• We work directly with business and product teams to craft solutions for our customers. We know that we are, and function as a platform and not a services company.

About the role

In this role you will:

• Work on all aspects of a production machine learning platform: acquiring data, training and building models, deploying models, building API services for exposing these models, maintaining them in production, and more.
• Work on performance tuning of models
• From time to time work on support and debugging of these production systems
• Work on researching the latest technology in the areas of our interest and applying it to build newer products and enhancement of the existing platform.
• Building workflows for training and production systems
• Contribute to documentation

While the emphasis will be on researching, building and deploying models into production, you will be expected to contribute to aspects mentioned above.

About you

You are a seasoned machine learning engineer (or data scientist). Our ideal candidate is someone with 5+ years of experience in production machine learning.

Must Haves

• You should be experienced in framing and solving complex problems with the application of machine learning or deep learning models.
• Deep expertise in computer vision or NLP with the experience of putting it into production at scale.
• You have experienced that and understand that modelling is only a small part of building and delivering AI solutions and know what it takes to keep a high-performance system up and running.
• Managing a large scale production ML system for at least a couple of years
• Optimization and tuning of models for deployment at scale
• Monitoring and debugging of production ML systems
• An enthusiasm and drive to learn, assimilate and disseminate the state of the art research. A lot of what we are building will require innovative approaches using newly researched models and applications.
• Past experience of mentoring junior colleagues
• Knowledge of and experience in ML Ops and tooling for efficient machine learning processes

Good to Have

• Our stack also includes languages like Go and Elixir. We would love it if you know any of these or take interest in functional programming.
• We use Docker and Kubernetes for deploying our services, so an understanding of this would be useful to have.
• Experience in using any other platform, frameworks, tools.

Other things to keep in mind

• Our goal is to help a significant part of the world’s population unlock real opportunities. This is an opportunity to make a positive impact here, and we hope you like it as much as we do.
