SpinDance, a leader in custom Internet of Things (IoT) software, is looking for a machine learning developer to join our growing team of engineers. As a Machine Learning Software Engineer, you will build machine learning models and deploy them across multiple domains (Cloud, Embedded, Mobile, and Web) in the rapidly expanding world of IoT. If you love using multiple languages in a variety of technical domains, you’ll love working at SpinDance.

At SpinDance, we focus on developing solutions for startups, Fortune 500s, and everyone in between. As part of our engineering team, you’ll get to work on projects across a wide variety of industries. You’ll work with an experienced, friendly team of software engineers, architects, and program managers to build a smarter connected world.

What You’ll Do

• Use languages like Python, R, and C++ in combination with platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP to develop and train machine learning models for a variety of IoT products: consumer, transportation, health care, and industrial.
• Apply your understanding of software development in other domains, including Embedded, Mobile, and Cloud. Don’t worry if you don’t already have these skills, one of our core values is to mentor and learn!
• Learn to use IoT methodologies and protocols to build next-generation connected solutions.
• Use TDD, CI/CD, and DevOps/MLOps methodologies to develop high-quality software.
• Use statistical processing techniques to create effective data sets for training models as well as data augmentation approaches to improve generalization.
• Use existing machine learning models and create new ones from scratch.
• Use frameworks like OpenCV to perform image processing tasks.
• Analyze training results and model performance to improve model accuracy.
• Design data collection processes and techniques to improve the efficiency of data set creation.
• Work on Agile software teams to collaborate with customers to build the right solution for their unique requirements, timelines, and budgets.
• Support business development efforts by contributing to the preparation of quotes and proposals.
• Help SpinDance grow by being a thought leader inside and outside the organization.

• Have a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Machine Learning, or equivalent professional industry experience. A strong sense of software craftsmanship is a plus. At this time, we are unable to sponsor visas.
• Have 5+ years of experience developing software professionally, especially in the machine learning space. Don’t worry if you don’t know IoT, we’ll teach you that part, although some background in IoT is helpful.
• Proficiency with fundamental machine learning languages Python, R, and/or C++.
• Proficiency with machine learning frameworks such as Tensorflow, Keras, PyTorch, MxNet, and Caffe.
• Familiarity with MLOps practices including cloud or edge model deployment, data versioning, and model monitoring.
• Familiarity with cloud-based machine learning tools such as AWS SageMaker, Microsoft Azure Machine Learning, and Google AI Hub.
• Familiarity with creating and using REST APIs.
• Familiarity with scripting tools such as Jupyter Notebooks or Google Colaboratory.
• Experience with relational and NoSQL database technologies, such as MySQL, Postgresql, Redis, MongoDB, CosmoDB, etc is a plus.
• Experience with OpenCV and image processing is a plus.
• A desire to gain experience and mastery across multiple domains (Cloud, Embedded, Mobile, and Web).
• Someone who loves the culture of a small company and enjoys working on every part of the software development life cycle: requirements gathering, architecture, development, testing, deployment, and support.
• A background or desire to work in an Agile DevOps environment.
• A desire to learn and share what you’ve learned through a variety of avenues.
• Strong interpersonal skills: teamwork is very important to us.
• A history of technical leadership is a plus. This could be project management, management, or functioning as a technical lead.
