We enable explanations of predictions, continuous monitoring of drifts, and assessing fairness in the real world. (TLDR — build the best ML monitoring tool)

The culture

We believe in constantly iterating and improving our team culture, just like our product. We have found a good balance between async and sync work — default is still Notion docs over meetings, but at the same time, we recognize that as an early-stage startup brainstorming together over calls leads to results faster. If you enjoy taking ownership, moving quickly, and writing docs, you will fit right in.

By joining our team, you will get the exposure to working across a swath of modern technologies while building an enterprise-grade ML platform in the most promising area.

Responsibilities

• Be the bridge between engineering and product teams. Understand long-term product roadmap and architect a system design that will scale with our plans.

• Author high-quality, highly-performance, and unit-tested code running on a distributed environment using containers.
• Continually evaluate and improve DevOps processes for a cloud-native codebase.
• Review PRs, mentor others and proactively take initiatives to improve our team's shipping velocity.
• Leverage your industry experience to champion engineering best practices within the organization.

• 2+ years of DevOps experience (Kubernetes, Docker, Helm and public cloud APIs)
• Worked with relational (SQL) as well as non-relational databases (Mongo or Couch) in a production environment.
• (Bonus: worked with big data in data lakes/warehouses).
• (Bonus: built an end-to-end ML pipeline)

Skills

• Strong documentation skills. As a remote team, we heavily rely on elaborate documentation for everything we are working on.
• Ability to motivate, mentor, and lead others (we have a flat team structure, but the team would rely upon you to make important decisions)
• Strong independent contributor as well as a team player.
• Working knowledge of ML and familiarity with concepts of MLOps
