RightHand Robotics | DATA ENGINEER | full-time, on-site | Somerville, MA
RightHand Robotics is a research-driven startup bringing to market fully integrated picking robots for online order fulfillment. These robots handle thousands of different items quickly, accurately, and automatically, using machine learning rather than manual data entry to build models of customers’ inventory.
We are seeking a self-motivated individual to join our growing machine learning team as a data engineer. Your primary responsibilities will be to collect and distill data from our robots both on-site and in the field, and manage data products in RightHand's data warehouse, to help the machine learning team discover hard-to-find patterns and valuable information.
You will have the opportunity to help design and implement major components of our big data infrastructure. You will join a diverse group with expertise spanning machine learning, software, mechanical, and electrical engineering, and can expect regular interaction with members across the team. You will need:
* Solid Python proficiency
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Experience with both relational (e.g. PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases
* To be self-motivated and driven by solving hard problems using data
* A Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related discipline
It would be nice if you also have:
* Exposure to both Bayesian machine learning and deep learning
* Experience with managing and processing very large datasets
