Applied Machine Learning Engineer (NLP)

Tara AI helps enterprise companies predict their spec, timeline and personnel needs for future software products, by analyzing their past projects. Today, the process of scoping is a completely manual process; enterprise companies are losing an average of $66Bn through inefficiencies in IT and software project scoping leading to cost and timeline overruns. However, F500 companies are sitting on a treasure trove of data in their project management systems, git version control and workforce directories. We connect to this data via an API, and using ML models, predict how to build their software (technical tasks), how long projects should take (timeline) and who will execute (team) when starting a new project.  Customers include product teams at Fortune 500 companies like IBM, Cisco & Orange Telecom.

Tara leverages artificial intelligence to create project plans (scopes) in real time. Our algorithms pair customers with the right internal engineers and external freelancers within hours, and deliver an experience that offers full transparency into project progress and milestones, down to the most granular of tasks.

We’re looking to add big thinkers and doers to our growing team. If you’ve got a knack for making real-world difference, Tara AI wants to hear from you.

Minimum qualifications:
  • Expertise in at least one area of NLP, deep learning, and machine learning in general. This includes standard tasks (language modeling, question answering, etc.), techniques (transfer learning, transformers, etc.), as well as existing models and tools.
  • Ability to distill vague product experiences into concrete problem definitions.
  • A passion for building compassionate and inclusive models.

Preferred qualifications:
  • 5+ years of practical experience applying ML to tackle real-world problems (academic or professional).
  • Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills.
  • Experience in building early stage products, and making them robust and scalable.

Responsibilities:
  • Build and maintain techniques for training models based on natural language data from the web as well as user generated content and software source files.
  • Setup and maintain the data infrastructure and pipeline, managing all aspects from ingest and ETL to analytics
  • Work with software engineers to integrate both models and ML systems into our apps and services.
