Company HQ in Boston, MA - Remote candidates welcome. East Coast timezone preferred.

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 a solution engineer, you will be a part of the front lines. Your work will be diverse and impactful. A large portion of your day-to-day will involve interacting with customers to educate them on the potential applications of machine learning to their business (don't worry, we'll train you), as well as building prototype products and demos that will feed directly into the product roadmap as users respond. As you work through use cases with customers, and implement prototypes on top of Indico's machine learning platform you'll quickly learn to incorporate machine learning components into system-level thinking, becoming familiar with a powerful new tool that is just starting to be adopted in industry. Field engineers are expected to be highly efficient and resourceful when leading these projects. Each customer presents new challenges and requirements, because of this the ideal candidate is able to adapt quickly to each new situation. Your experience in the field from working closely with customers and building user capabilities rooted in machine learning will be key to Indico’s product development decisions.

About you

You are a friendly and enthusiastic person whose dedication to easily maintainable code is rock solid. This is shown by your ability to think creatively about a problem while evaluating what solution will benefit indico’s stack most in the long term rather than the short. 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!
