Machine Learning Engineer

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

Your main responsibility will be in applying deep learning on forecasting of various weather phenomena from hurricanes to hyperlocal weather forecasts within a city.

Most of our forecast products combine multiple data streams from various sources, including numerical weather prediction, openly available measurement data and data from Skyfora's proprietary instruments.

Deep learning technologies used at Skyfora today include CNN, time series models, RNN, BNN (Bayesian Neural Network) and multimodal architectures.

The backend of our service runs on AWS. Some of the tasks beyond developing the algorithm are managing the pipeline of the large volumes of weather data stream from original sources to cloud storage to output on our graphical user interface. 


Experience & Skills 

We hope that your experience and skills include: 

  • Python 

  • Deep learning, CNN/RNN 

  • PyTorch or Tensorflow 

  • Working with and building complex datasets

  • Knowledge of cloud services such as AWS, GCP or Azure; ML frameworks such as SageMaker is a plus


Related work experience is naturally a plus and will be reflected in the compensation. 

An interest in the topic and the natural science in general is necessary for you to have the right motivation, but no pre-skills are necessary as these can be learnt from the team. 

We offer a flexible and pleasant work environment with a low-hierarchy team with possibility for remote work. The compensation is a mix of a competitive monthly salary, fringe benefits and possibility to get stock options depending on your level of expertise.
