- Machine Learning and Data Science Expertise:
- Advanced foundations in ML and statistical methodologies.
- Strong experience in supervised learning, including gradient boosting and handling high-cardinality categorical data.
- Practical experience with semi-supervised and unsupervised learning techniques.
- Proficiency in exploratory data analysis and creative problem-solving for dataset collection and performance estimation in the absence of labeled data.
Software Engineering Skills:
- Strong expertise in real-time ML service development, including challenges like real-time inference and model-to-service integration.
- Excellent coding skills with expertise in SQL and general software engineering tools (Git, CI/CD pipelines, IDEs, shell scripting).
- Ability to create MVP real-time web services from ML models.
- Fluent English for clear communication in a global, remote team.
Nice to Have:
- Academic background and a research mindset.
- Backend development experience with GoLang.
- Experience with analytical storage systems like Clickhouse, Snowflake, or BigQuery.
- Familiarity with engineering practices for maintaining data transformations, including frameworks like dbt.
- Hands-on experience with data visualization tools like Apache Superset, Tableau, or Looker.
Technologies You Will Work With:
- Backend and Data Science: GoLang, SQL, and advanced ML frameworks.
- Data Processing/Analytics: ClickHouse, dbt.

Due to regulatory and security reasons, there’s a small number of countries where we cannot have Fingerprint teammates based. Additionally, because Fingerprint is an all-remote company and people can join our workforce from almost any country, we do not sponsor visas. Fingerprint teammates need to be authorized to work from their home location.
We are dedicated to creating an inclusive work environment for everyone. We embrace and celebrate the unique experiences, perspectives and cultural backgrounds that each employee brings to our workplace. Fingerprint strives to foster an environment where our employees feel respected, valued and empowered, and our team members are at the forefront in helping us promote and sustain an inclusive workplace. We highly encourage people from underrepresented groups in tech to apply.
