GWI – career partner of PLG Disrupt Summit 2021 – is looking for Senior Machine Learning Engineers to join their engineering team. Not just any Senior Machine Learning Engineer though. Someone ambitious and genuine, who works best in the midst of a collaborative and forward-thinking team. That’s because as a GWIer you’ll be immersed in the fast-moving world of data tech. We think big to make an impact, we zero in on what matters, we’re not afraid to be real and we always show respect.
