About the Role

The ML Engineering team embodies these values and works to enable intelligent systems for end users, internal stakeholders, and external partners. As a Machine Learning Apprentice, you will contribute to this vision and reap the rewards of joining an exciting company in the high growth phase.

Machine learning is core to our product and we’re working to make it an even bigger part of the company. 

You will work on solving challenging problems at the intersection of developing the models and the infrastructure needed to operationalize them at scale. The ML Team at Fetch is responsible for the full life-cycle of machine learning. This includes data labeling/collection/management, model development, and deploying to large-scale production settings. We work closely with backend, devops and data engineers on focused teams.
