The Opportunity

Climate is revolutionizing the agriculture industry with a platform and products that are helping the world’s farmers sustainably increase productivity with digital tools. We are leveraging Machine Learning and Big Data to build meaningful products that allow farmers to produce enough food to help feed a growing population.   

We are looking for an ML Ops Engineer to join our production deployment team. We work with research scientists who are developing and prototyping ideas to get their models into our Field View platform. The team is highly collaborative and partners with data scientists, engineers, and product managers. We’re looking for someone with experience developing and maintaining Machine Learning Ops pipelines who can help us do the same while building tools to automate the path to productions. The ideal candidate is someone who has an interest in machine learning and would like to transition to the scaling, evaluation, and development of machine learning models, in the long-term.
