• Evaluate model performance, tune hyperparameters, and document experimental results.
• Develop monitoring tools to track model accuracy, data drift, and system health.
• Collaborate with infrastructure and execution teams to integrate ML components into production systems.
• Design and maintain databases and storage systems to efficiently manage large-scale datasets.

Ideal Traits

• Strong in data structures, algorithms, and core CS fundamentals.
• Proficiency in any programming language
• Familiarity with backend systems, APIs, and database design, along with a basic    understanding of machine learning and blockchain fundamentals.
• Curiosity about how blockchain systems and crypto markets work under the hood.
• Self-motivated, eager to experiment and learn in a dynamic environment.

Bonus Points For

• Hands-on experience with pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, or PyTorch.
• Side projects involving automated ML workflows, ETL pipelines, or crypto protocols.
• Participation in hackathons or open-source contributions.

What You’ll Gain

• Cutting-Edge Tech Stack: You'll work on modern infrastructure and stay up to date with the latest trends in technology.
• Idea-Driven Culture: We welcome and encourage fresh ideas. Your input is valued, and you're empowered to make an impact from day one.
• Ownership & Autonomy: You’ll have end-to-end ownership of projects. We trust our team and give them the freedom to make meaningful decisions.
• Impact-Focused: Your work won’t be buried under bureaucracy. You’ll see it go live and make a difference in days, not quarters

What We Value:

• Craftsmanship over shortcuts: We appreciate engineers who take the time to understand the problem deeply and build durable solutions—not just quick fixes.
• Depth over haste: If you're the kind of person who enjoys going one level deeper to really "get" how something works, you'll thrive here.
• Invested mindset: We're looking for people who don't just punch tickets, but care about the long-term success of the systems they build.
