- Experience designing, developing, and implementing advanced machine learning models.
- Familiarity with machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn.
- Data Engineering Skills:
- Proficiency in developing and maintaining real-time data pipelines for processing large-scale data.
- Experience with ETL processes for data ingestion and processing.
- Proficiency in Python and SQL.
- Experience with big data technologies like Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark.
- Familiarity with real-time data processing frameworks such as Apache Kafka or Flink.
MLOps & Deployment:
- Experience deploying and maintaining large-scale ML inference pipelines into production environments.
- Proficiency with Docker for containerization and Kubernetes for orchestration.
- Familiarity with AWS cloud platform (experience with GCP or Azure is a plus).
- Experience monitoring and optimizing model performance in production settings.
Programming Languages:
- Strong coding skills in Python and SQL.
- Experience with Node.js, JavaScript (JS), and TypeScript (TS) is a plus.
Statistical Knowledge:
- Solid understanding of statistical concepts and methodologies for analyzing and interpreting large datasets.
- Ability to apply statistical techniques to validate models and algorithms.
Data Manipulation & Analysis:
- Proficient in data manipulation and analysis using tools like Pandas, NumPy, and Jupyter Notebooks.
- Experience with data visualization tools such as Matplotlib, Seaborn, or Tableau to communicate insights effectively.
Our offer:
- Cash: £60-70k (depending on experience)
- Equity: Generous equity package, on a standard vesting schedule
- Impact & Exposure: Work at the leading edge of innovation building our machine-learning powered smart contracts for fraud prevention
- Growth: An opportunity to wear many hats, and grow into a role you can inform
- Hybrid work: Flexibility to work from home, with travel into London
The process
- Submit your CV along with answers to the handful of questions we ask of every candidate
- A 60min call to explore initial fit with the founders
