Software Engineer MLOps
Headquartered in New York City, Dataiku was founded in Paris in 2013 and achieved unicorn status in 2019. Now, more than 1,000+ employees work across the globe in our offices and remotely. Backed by a renowned set of investors and partners including CapitalG, Tiger Global, and ICONIQ Growth, we’ve set out to build the future of AI.
We are looking for a talented Senior Software Developer interested in machine learning and data engineering to join us at Dataiku. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will build a cutting-edge product that has a real impact on our customers in one of the most talked-about and impactful areas of the discipline today: MLOps. You will focus on Dataiku DSS’ MLOps capabilities, from automating the retraining, tuning, monitoring and deployment of ML models to the interfaces that allow various stakeholders, with their own skills and role, to collaborate on ML projects.
What we do
Dataiku DSS is an on-premises or SaaS platform that connects together many data science technologies. We work with Pandas, Spark, scikit-learn, Keras, TensorFlow, Kubernetes, and many more. Basically, our technological stack is made up of the latest and greatest technologies from the big data and machine learning landscape.
Side note: we also wrote an O’Reilly book on MLOps!
What you will be doing
Your role will be to add new features or improve existing ones to help our customers use predictive algorithms, put them into production, and monitor them with an intuitive and user-friendly interface, as well as APIs that let coders control and automate all those operations. You may also develop features to put humans in the validation loop, or collaborate with the Governance feature team to develop cross-product features and keep bringing values to all users. The platform itself is in Java, Python, and Scala for the backend part, with JavaScript and Angular on the frontend.
You are the ideal recruit if:
- You have at least 6 years of experience in software engineering.
- You are interested in machine learning and are not afraid of statistics.
- You are customer-oriented — you want to understand how the product is used and solve actual customer problems.
- You know that boosted trees are not only about silviculture.
- You have one or more professional experience building a real product.
- You can mentor less tenured developers, helping them grow both their technical and non-technical skill.
- You are humble and kind.
- You don't hesitate to ask questions when you don't know, and you treat your colleagues with respect, kindness, and honesty.
(Note: This is a Software Engineering job. We have separate Data Scientist positions open).
Hiring process:
- Initial call with the talent acquisition manager
- On-site meeting (or video call) with a software developer or a team lead
- Home test to show your skills
