Job Description

Description

xbird is a medical AI company developing ways to use smartphones and wearable devices to predict and prevent health risks. We are a 10-person, interdisciplinary team on the mission of saving 1 million lives by 2020. Our current solution focuses on detecting and preventing hypoglycemia for diabetes patients.

We are looking for a Principal Engineer, Machine Learning that will lead our efforts to build the intelligence behind our systems. You will apply the latest machine learning algorithms to improve the lives of people and to help doctors in their diagnosis. In this role, you will have high responsibility and a strong impact on the company's success.

You will be part of our engineering team consisting of machine learning engineers, backend and iOS developers.

You will play a leading role in every part of our machine learning lifecycle: from the initial research to the production-level implementation, from discussing long-term goals, to making post-release micro-improvements. Being an expert in machine learning technologies, you also guide and coach other machine learning engineers at xbird.

You are able to navigate yourself quickly through the sea of machine learning literature, keeping our concrete goals as a compass. You will decide the best model for every problem, and will be keen to implement that in practice (Python). You are able to explain your choices at any level of detail, from discussing the activation function of your neural network convolutional layer to the most accessible explanation of your goals and results.

You take full ownership of core projects of our company and we can rely on you to drive them forward proactively.

We look forward to welcome you as part of the xbird team!
