Ability to travel as-needed to meet with team members (typically less than 5% travel).

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Azure environments and toolsets (Databricks, Spark)

Knowledgeable with deployments to Azure infrastructure using terraform

Experience with large-scale machine learning (100GB datasets)

Experience with deep learning libraries and frameworks (TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch etc.)

Master's Degree

Additional Information

This role will be located in Boston, MA. Studio H preferably.

Willing to consider remote candidates.

As part of our hiring process, we will be using an exciting interviewing technology provided by Modern Hire, a third-party vendor. This technology provides our team of recruiters and hiring managers an enhanced method for decision-making.

If you are selected to move forward from your application prescreen, you will receive correspondence inviting you to participate in a pre-recorded Voice Interview and/or an SMS Text Messaging interview. If participating in a pre-recorded interview, you will respond to a set of interview questions via your phone. You should anticipate this interview to take approximately 10-15 minutes.

If participating in a SMS Text interview, you will be asked a series of questions to which you will be using your cell phone or computer to answer the questions provided. Expect this type of interview to last anywhere from 5-10 minutes. Your recorded interview(s) via text and/or pre-recorded voice will be reviewed and you will subsequently be informed if you will be moving forward to next round of interviews.
