About the Role
What do we need?
We need someone who likes to get their hands dirty. A seasoned and experienced veteran who knows the right tools for the job and how to get it done. We work with very challenging NLP data that is both difficult to parse and harder to make sense of. We need someone who can get the job done however possible, but is able to develop tooling and automation along the way.
Who are you?
Someone with years of experience that allow you to feel comfortable with challenging tasks you haven’t done before. You’ve used all the popular tools and techniques and know where and when to apply them. You work well in a team but are self reliant enough that when given a project you seek out answers to problems rather than waiting for someone else to bring you the solution. You’ve got loads of experience building ETL and NLP systems, and would be great if you have experience or interest in MLOps. Above all else, you’re passionate about your work and proud of what you’ve done.
