Company mission

To enable world class financial products and experiences.

Role

Who you are

  • At least 5 years of relevant experience, either academic, professional, or purely personal projects. We value diverse experiences that demonstrate your skills and passion for ML engineering
  • Demonstrated proficiency in Python and PyTorch, with a strong background in machine learning concepts and hands-on experience in training and deploying large models
  • Ability to adapt quickly to new technologies and challenges, with a proven track record of solving hard problems
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a dynamic team environment and lead projects to successful completion

Desirable

  • Experience with cloud infrastructure, multi-GPU environments, other ML frameworks, Kubeflow, Rust
  • Contribution to open-source projects or participation in competitive programming events

What the job involves

  • As an early ML engineer at Ntropy, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our products, culture and direction of the company
  • Your work will directly contribute to our mission of making LLMs viable at a scale of 100M+ requests per day
  • You will develop and enhance our domain-specific caching infrastructure by creating algorithms for query decomposition, caching, and reassembly and develop approaches to extend this technology to new domains beyond finance

Application process

  • 1. Send us an overview of problems you have encountered before and how you approached solving them. Please include as much detail as possible: code, algorithms, derivations, proofs, etc. We will then do a video call to kick things off and go through it (45 mins)
  • 2. We will give you a take-home project related to whatever we are currently working on (3-4 hours). Alternatively, if you have a relevant project that you worked on previously that demonstrates your skills as an engineer, you are welcome to use that instead
  • 3. We will then do a deep-dive through the project over a call and discuss the implementation, improvements and bottlenecks
  • Above all, we respect your time and commitment and will keep you up to speed on where we are at during the whole process

Otta's take

Xav Kearney headshot

Xav Kearney

CTO of Otta

The financial industry has traditionally viewed data as an afterthought. The landscape is starting to change, forcibly, through regulatory innovation like the UK’s Open Banking protocols and commercial innovation from companies like Plaid. Despite these efforts, accessing line-item transaction data is still mired in complexity limiting functionality for financial institutions of all sizes.

Ntropy is changing all this with its attempts to build a single source of truth for consumer financial data. Instead of relying on an only partially intelligible alpha-numeric string, the platform parses that and returns not only the name of the merchant, but also logo, website URL, Yelp reviews and custom categories, unlocking powerful fintech use-cases without world-class data engineers required.

The company is now looking to expand its engineering and commercial team, support market growth and future product development.

The challenge for Ntropy is to build enough momentum to create a community of fintechs relying on its technology. It's already streaks ahead of other efforts in the space and it's easy to predict this community only becoming more vibrant as Ntropy releases new features as part of its enrichment API.
