The goal of a research engineer at scale is to bring techniques in the fields of computer vision, deep learning and deep reinforcement learning, or natural language processing into a production environment to improve scale.ai’s products and customer experience. Our research engineers take advantage of our unique access to massive datasets to deliver improvements to our customers.
We are building a large hybrid human-machine system in service of ML pipelines for dozens of industry-leading customers. We currently complete millions of tasks a month, and will grow to complete billions of tasks monthly.
- Take state of the art models developed internally and from the community, use them in production to solve problems for our customers and taskers.
- Take models currently in production, identify areas for improvement, improve them using retraining and hyperparameter searches, then deploy without regressing on core model characteristics
- Work with product and research teams to identify opportunities for improvement in our current product line and for enabling upcoming product lines
- Work with massive datasets to develop both generic models as well as fine tune models for specific products
- Build the scalable ML platform to automate our ML services
- Be a representative for how to apply machine learning and related techniques throughout the engineering and product organization
- Be able, and willing, to multi-task and learn new technologies quickly
- Degree in computer science, or related field
- Experience using computer vision, deep learning and deep reinforcement Learning, or natural language processing in a production environment
- Solid background in algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented programming
- Strong programing skills in Python or Javascript, experience in Tensorflow or PyTorch
- Graduate degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence specialization
- Experience working with cloud technology stack (eg. AWS or GCP) and developing machine learning models in a cloud environment
About Us:
At Scale, our mission is to accelerate the development of Machine Learning and AI applications across multiple markets. Our first product is a suite of APIs that allow AI teams to generate high-quality ground truth data. Our customers include OpenAI, Zoox, Lyft, Pinterest, Airbnb, nuTonomy, and many more
