About The Role
Our client is an applied behavioral research company working at the intersection of ML, social sciences, and recommendation systems / Prediction - as - a - service. They enable businesses to build privacy preserving recommendation and behavioral technologies competitive to big tech without the use of interpretable raw customer data.
They are looking to develop the next generation of privacy preserving machine learning products that understand and predict behavior at scale. Their products and research teams need to handle information at a massive scale across a number of unstructured dimensions. They're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, privacy, artificial intelligence, and NLP.
