Background
We now live in a world where we must ask hard questions about the technology we provide to corporations and governments, how that technology is used and how to deal with the inherent centralization of power that comes with machine based intelligence
We believe that a redesign of how we collect data, how we use that data and how we govern that data is required in order to make humans central to the solutions technology provides
We are building an organization that is more akin to an ecosystem than a corporation, that addresses these problems with humancentric solutions that are open and open source
This new platform recognizes that data is a natural resource and gives each of us full autonomy over our data
We look for strong values driven people that share our vision
Technical Area
-
Natural language processing techniques and information systems
-
Object detection in image/video/audio
-
Graph based neural network modeling
-
Distributed machine learning and differential privacy
-
Knowledge engineering
-
Both prototyping as well as production level implementations
Role
We are looking for a full time Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join us, a diverse group of people with strong values
Applying emerging research and development that moves the stateoftheart as we build our platform
We believe in growing engineers through ownership and leadership opportunities
As such you are responsible for defining your research goals within the context of our larger common goals
We all learn from each other, your mentorship and guidance within the team is key towards reaching their goals by applying your experience in all phases of the design and development process
You will operate in a highly participatory democratic organization
We constantly work with many unknowns and you get a sense of purpose from applying your domain knowledge to ambiguous and novel situations
