- The Director of Machine Learning will lead the architecture and design of Primer’s core product functionality. You will partner with the engineering leadership and executives in an effort to translate the company objectives into a roadmap and execution plans for your team. Most importantly, you will mentor and develop a strong and rapidly growing team of machine learning engineers, recruit new ML experts to join your team, and evangelize Primer both internally and externally.
Your goal – to build the machines that can tell stories to anyone in the world. - The organization: Machine Learning Engineering:
- Primer is an artificial intelligence company that organizes and analyzes text-based data sources, and generates analyst-grade natural language summaries for a variety of industries. Our objective is to help our customers understand the world around them ‐‐ whether it is emerging geopolitical events, development of a product line or area of research, or monitoring a portfolio of companies’ financial performances.
The Machine Learning team builds the algorithms that power Primer’s products. The team’s charter is: (1) research, develop, and deploy new cutting edge algorithms and technologies that are the foundation of Primer’s product suite; (2) maintain and improve the performance of existing ML technologies in terms of speed, precision and recall; (3) help envision new products and novel uses for Primer’s technology; and (4) make it easy for other engineering teams to bring the power of machine learning to their work.
