Documentation Engineer

About StratumAI

We're Stratum, a mining software company with machine learning models as our core product. Our 3D maps predict how gold, silver, copper, etc. are distributed (and how much!) using only small amounts of data, unconventional data processing, and proprietary ML protocols. Our work directly affects how much money a mine is going to make next week/month/year while reducing waste/cost. We're supported by Founders Fund, Aramco, Builders VC, Y Combinator, and Ilya Sutskever, former Chief Scientist at OpenAI, who have recognized the potential of our industry-disrupting technology. We're at an inflection point where mining companies are coming to us; we are looking for an adaptable and capable Machine Learning Developer to join our startup's technical team and help us meet this demand!

You'll be joining a diverse team of engineers and data scientists to work on building, improving, and maintaining end-to-end machine learning systems. If you are interested in building tools specifically for machine learning deployed in a legacy industry and want to explore novel applications of deep learning by working with mining clients, then this is the role for you.
