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.

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.

• 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)
