Senior Full Stack Engineer (python)

Description

NannyML — creators of the NannyML Open Source Python library are looking for a Belgium-based Senior Full Stack Engineer (python) to help improve our Open Source and Cloud products.

About Us

NannyML builds products for post-deployment data science. We focus on detecting model performance degradation without needing access to ground-truth data. We have researched and developed state-of-the-art algorithms that now form part of our OSS library and the NannyML Cloud product.

The founders are experienced entrepreneurs who previously founded a specialized machine learning company, where they became experts at building machine learning systems. At NannyML, we take pride in hiring the best people and getting out of their way so that they can make great things happen.

We are backed by tech leaders who have founded and grown top data unicorns, like the co-founder of Collibra (the first Belgian unicorn), Zehan Wang (ex-head of Cortex AI at Twitter); and deep tech VCs like Lunar Ventures. At NannyML, we are building Free Open Source Software to estimate the performance of ML models after deployment. We’re creating a one-of-a-kind company by being one of the initial players in the growing ML Monitoring field. By focusing on post-deployment data science and performance estimation, we’ll define the industry and science for decades to come.
