Mission
Saturn Cloud helps companies perform data science at a new level of scale. Our product is a SaaS platform which automates away most of the infrastructure and DevOps work needed to scale PyData code with Dask. The platform is user-friendly, scalable and secure. We want to make parallelization and cluster computing for machine learning available to any data scientist who needs it.

Role Description

We want you to build a high performing, flexible, cohesive team with excellent morale and retention.

You’ll also be a key contributor to the strategic direction of the product and the company. You’ll answer strategic questions like “should we make the Dask + Tensorflow experience better, or go all in on PyTorch?” and “should we build a model monitoring tool, or focus on integrating with others?” and “how do we make GPU computing more accessible to the average data scientist?”.

  • Skill with Python and the PyData stack (e.g. numpy, matplotlib, pandas, scikit-learn, dask)
  • Experience with AWS or a comparable public cloud, including some experience with object stores (e.g. AWS S3), machine learning services (e.g. SageMaker, EMR), and virtual machines (e.g. EC2).
  • Experience applying parallelization to machine learning

Benefits

  • Competitive salary commensurate with your experience
  • Stock options in early-stage venture poised for scale
  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage
