  • Guide the use of high-level AI frameworks such as Hugging Face Transformers, FastAI, or Keras for rapid prototyping and development

  • Client and Stakeholder Management
  • Act as the primary technical point of contact for high-profile clients and partners
  • Present complex technical concepts and strategies to non-technical stakeholders
  • Collaborate with business leaders to align technical strategies with business goals

    • Basic qualifications

  • Proven experience in designing and implementing large-scale, distributed systems
  • Deep understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and their advanced services
  • Strong background in AI and machine learning, including experience with large language models (LLMs) and modern AI frameworks

  • The chance to work on high-visibility projects and make a significant impact.

    • Get to know us
  • We are a small, creative and highly technical team.
  • Our heroes are the scrappy folks that dare to dream and do great things. We love people that care more about doing the right thing than taking a shortcut.
  • We believe in finishing projects and floor our clients by how much we cared about their project.
  • We believe in integrity and because we're small, we are very selective of our partners and clients.
  • We do not use phrases like 'human resource' because you are NOT a resource. You are a team member and we will treat you like one.

    • What you should expect from us
  • We will treat you fairly.
  • We give you space to grow both personally and professionally.
  • We will hear your ideas even when we disagree -- especially when we disagree.
  • We will be equitable with our success and be honest with our challenges.
  • We will always tell you the truth. Even when the truth is difficult.
