Machine Learning Engineer

Fi is rethinking the relationship between dogs and humans. We build products for your dog to live a longer, better life. We are full of experienced, passionate people that have built and shipped outstanding products for Nest, Square, Google and Uber who all care about their dogs. Together, we're bringing a digital revolution to the dog space.
Today's dog industry is a relic from the 80s. We are using technology to improve dogs' lives and make the 100 million dogs in the US live longer. Dogs' life expectancy hasn't improved in decades - we are here to change this. We are keeping dogs safe by allowing owners to keep track of their whereabouts. We are keeping dogs healthy by showing owners how much they should exercise and keep them accountable. We also monitor health patterns like sleep and overall balance of activity versus resting patterns.
The hardest part about being a dog owner is they can't tell you when something is wrong. Fi aims to change that; We're looking for people to join us who love a good challenge—and of course, dogs. We set the bar high at Fi. In our world, "impossible" means "let me find a way".

Fi is looking for a Machine Learning Engineer!

• At least 4 years working as a data scientist or machine learning engineer, developing machine learning models for deployment.
• Adaptable and proactive, eager to work on a range of machine learning projects. Familiarity with geospatial data and deriving features from GPS location data a plus.
• Familiarity with sensor data or other high frequency time series a plus.
• Experience deploying models to a live production environment, Databricks a plus.
• Experience developing machine learning solutions for user-facing product features, and working closely with product managers, engineers and designers to create and meet product requirements.
• Advanced python including scikit-learn and numpy/scipy. Tensorflow or Pytorch a plus.
• Data querying and wrangling using SQL or Spark.

Responsibilities

• As a member of the burgeoning machine learning team at Fi, you will be responsible for developing machine learning models to power user-facing product features.
