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 Indico continues to grow and scale, it is critical we continue to evolve our documentation practices and processes. To do so, we need you! You, with technical competency and strong writing skills, and the ability to interact with the wide array of personas at a SaaS technology startup: software engineers, customer and sales leads, ML specialists, product managers, and project leads. This internship will support primarily the engineering team over the summer of 2021 and will result in at least one major project and should expect to be fully integrated into the team over the duration of the term employed.
