Overview

Indico is a venture-backed startup making the application of deep learning practical in the enterprise. Our focus is on helping to automate tedious back-office tasks, and improve the efficiency of labor-intensive document-based workflows. The fundamental branch of technology we use to achieve this is known as transfer learning, which allows us to train machine learning models with orders of magnitude less data than is required by traditional techniques, with a strong emphasis on NLP and text processing.

About the Position

As the principal full-stack engineer on the R&D team your work will be diverse and impactful. You will work closely with Indico’s machine learning engineers to help explore the bleeding edge of artificial intelligence. Common tasks will include terabyte-scale dataset collection and management; architecting and developing full stack applications with a heavy emphasis on user interaction and data visualization; and helping to develop and maintain Indico’s open source ML libraries.. We’re firm believers that production machine learning workflows should place at least as much emphasis on the teacher (the human) as the learner (the model). We're looking for generalists who enjoy using a broad range of technologies to solve a wide range of problems. We'll help fill the gaps in your machine learning knowledge and help you stay up to speed in the ever evolving field.

About You

You are a technically skilled individual with a creative mindset who loves that moment when a new project comes to life for the first time. You think that hackathons are a blast, and love picking up new tools. You are comfortable working with ambiguity and uncertainty and understand that many problems have no right or wrong answer. You're invested in having a life outside of work that is bolstered by a fulfilling job, not dominated by it. You look out for others and it shows in your willingness to sit down and hear out whatever needs or feedback other team members have in order to foster constructive conversation about personal and professional growth. With all that in mind, most importantly you have fun with it!
