Come and change the world of AI with the Kumo team!
Companies spend millions of dollars to store terabytes of data in
data lakehouses, but only leverage a fraction of it for predictive
tasks. This is because traditional machine learning is slow and
time consuming, taking months to perform feature engineering, build
training pipelines, and achieve acceptable performance. At Kumo, we
are building a machine learning platform for data lakehouses,
enabling data scientists to train powerful Graph Neural Net models
directly on their relational data, with only a few lines of
declarative syntax known as Predictive Query Language. The Kumo
platform enables users to build models a dozen times faster, and
achieve better model accuracy than traditional approaches. As a
Data Scientist in London, you will be a technical liaison for
Kumo’s customers and prospects in the UK region. Your objective is
to discover the technical needs of customers and showcase how Kumo
can address them (or explain why you think it won’t). With this
information, you will craft and tell a story of how Kumo can
deliver value to their organization. Together with the customer and
Account Manager, you will put together a plan to solve the
customer’s machine learning problems using Kumo. You will leverage
your industry knowledge and data science expertise to help the
customer craft the solution architecture and machine learning
approach for their use cases, and guide them to achieve technical
wins. You will maintain relationships with technical champions,
ensuring continued success of existing models as well as expansion
to new use cases. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with
deep expertise in machine learning and passion for data science to
grow into a confident leader within a dynamic and innovative
environment. The Value You Will Add: - Be a Kumo platform superuser
