Job Description
Our data platform enables analytics, experimentation, machine learning models, streaming, reporting infrastructure and systems metrics which powers and drives innovation at UserTesting. Our team of data engineers and scientists is focused on creating a competitive advantage for UserTesting and our customers through novel data infrastructure, metrics, insights and data services. We are a small but rapidly growing team that builds and leverages state-of-the-art analytics systems, especially around video and Natural Language Processing (NLP).
This role works with Data Scientists, Software and Systems Engineers on large scale operations focused on improving the reliability levels of Data Infrastructure, Streaming Infrastructure, and Data Products teams, as well as helping create the foundational architecture for rapid ML development. The high amount of video data we store and millions of transactional and events data that we process each day provide a great opportunity to apply machine learning techniques to design powerful and meaningful experiences to our users.
You will help the ML Engineers deliver applications with minimal delays at precisely the right resource footprint with elasticity, while ensuring absolutely tight and robust security, privacy and confidentiality. You are equally comfortable enabling data pipelines to transport data (in and) out of our platform through custom-built systems.
