You will be called upon to draw from your research and work experience to help us implement intelligent and practical algorithms. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the techniques, models and best in class practices in machine learning and will have insight into what works best in real-world situations. You will be at the center of prescribing, designing, and building mission-critical solutions.

We're looking for humble, enthusiastic, bright, and personable people with strong communication skills and a deep knowledge of machine learning. We need a proven track record in innovation with strong potential for growth into a leadership position. A background in finance is not a must-have. If you get as excited about machine learning theory as you get about Python and software development, we’d love to speak with you.
