About Monk:

Monk provides visual expertise through Computer Vision and Deep Learning algorithms. Today, our AI model is able to detect and classify damages on any vehicle, with photos taken from a smartphone. The company is already working with international leading players, such as our parent company ACV Auctions (USA), but also CAT logistics (Europe) Getaround (France), Autobiz (Europe) or Hgreg (Canada). We are building a world-class API-based damage detection system.

We are looking for a great engineer with a data-centric approach to help us build a high-performance Data Engineering infrastructure to support the efforts of our ML team. Come and join us to build the future of vehicle damage detection. .

Missions:

• Design and build scalable applications for Monk ML Engineers to facilitate common tasks:

• Run and evaluate models

• Train models

• Retrieve and store data

• Annotate and generate data

• Review and improve data

• Champion a data-centric approach to leverage all the unstructured and structured data of Monk: active learning, confident learning, dataset iteration… Help to avoid some common ML issues (under specification, fruitless model fiddling…) and work on the big lever that is high-quality data.

• Define ML ops best practices to help the data infrastructure of Monk.ai scale. Engage with ML Engineers to identify bottlenecks and pain points in the ability of Monk R&D to constantly offer new and better ai services.

• Integrate and arbitrate between multiple stakeholders and constraints including: ai performance, quality of life for ml scientists, cost-efficiency of labeling and infrastructure etc…

Skills:

• Extensive backend engineering and software engineering experience, building backend applications that scales.

• Being very comfortable with SQL and NoSQL databases, which to choose when building a system and how to use them effectively.

• Engineering skills related to data-intensive applications, for scalability, reliability, robustness and observability.

• A mindset for data-oriented decision-making: being obsessed about measuring result data and acting on it.

• An understanding of Deep Learning Models and the constraints related to build, use and evaluate them at scale.

Contract:

• Type of contract : CDI

• Location : Paris, France
