Data Processing, Data Engineer


At the ETH spin-off Lightly, we build software solutions to help companies improve their deep learning models. The available data for deep learning grows faster than human tagging and available compute power. Our customers already face this problem and have too much data to process. As a solution, we built software to identify and work with the most relevant samples only. Learn more about us on our website.


We are a team of talented developers and researchers in Zurich, Prague and San Francisco and are backed by YCombinator. Every member of the team is going to have a massive impact.


Thus, we are looking for an experienced engineer with lots of passion for the subject. We offer attractive cash- & equity package for you to become part-owner of Lightly. Remote work is also possible.


**We Use a Modern Stack Of:**

- PyTorch, Python, Typescript, C++, Rust, React, NodeJS
- Docker, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Platform, AWS

**Particularly, You Will Get To:**

- Work on our open-source Python package for self-supervised learning: https://github.com/lightly-ai/lightly.
- Add support for finetuning pretrained models for downstream tasks including many different computer vision tasks like object detection, segmentation, tracking, and more.
- Keep up with current research in self-supervised learning and multi-modal models.
- All these tasks will include working with state-of-the-art technology such as self-supervised learning, model distillation, vision language models and deep learning for computer vision in general.
- Participate in and hold paper sessions about the latest papers in the field.
- Represent the company at machine learning conferences and engage with the community.

In general, for this role expect to use the stack we use for our open-source package https://github.com/lightly-ai/lightly.
