Job Content
As a head of development at Tangent Works you will work on managing, building, and assuring quality of the back-end and front-end components of a distributed machine learning platform TIM (Tangent Information Modeller).
TIM is an automatic model building engine for forecasting and anomaly detection on time-series data. TIM introduces InstantML – a new perspective on machine learning that brings ML closer to the end user and is a next step after AutoML. From technical perspective, TIM is a set of distributed micro-services written in Julia and Python with REST APIs deployable on premise, in the cloud and on the edge. Front-end components are implemented using ReactJS. Some of the components are exposed via plug-ins to widely recognized BI platforms like Qlik, Alteryx, PowerBI, … and cloud platforms like Azure and Amazon.
This is a dream job for people passioned about code that drives machine learning to the next level.
