Overview
We’re looking for an organized, team-oriented self-starter who can help the Data Science team to optimize our use of Databricks, Spark, and AWS services for building machine learning models at scale. The machine learning models are deployed on Android and iOS mobile devices and on AWS services in our backend – both of which are co-developed with engineers on our platform and mobile teams. You will improve data ETL pipelines, design and manage databases that support research and development, support testing of machine learning models for product releases, and own the software frameworks we use to deploy our models in production. You will have close collaboration with data scientists, mobile developers, platform engineers, and QA engineers. The ideal candidate for this role will have prior experience with ETL pipelines at scale, building scalable, maintainable, secure backend code, and also understands fundamental concepts of unit testing, automation, and continuous delivery.
