• Think critically and creatively about problems
• Keep up-to-date with relevant research and implement ideas found in research
• Collaborate to develop scalable production implementations of algorithms
• Take a principled and scientific approach to R&D

Desired skills:

• Deep understanding of Machine learning algorithms
• Deep understanding of statistics and probability
• Experience with deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, Keras, Torch, Caffee, etc.
• Experience with Python machine learning infrastructure (e.g Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn)
• Understanding of Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
• Experience solving real world problems
• Minimum of 5 years professional experience developing classification algorithms
