Designing efficient data structures that will hold inputs, intermediate results, and outputs from our machine learning algorithms
Implementing changes and extensions to our system as required by ML models and end-user requests
Interacting and collaborating with stakeholders from different backgrounds to completely understand the requirements, and translate their needs into functional code
Interfacing to multiple databases
Working with our AI Scientists to implement and productionalize ML-powered features
Collaborating with other engineers on the team to ensure everyone can ship code quickly and the system is working reliably
