The company We are a rapidly growing startup developing solutions that blend human expertise and AI agents to handle manual customer and marketplace operations tasks. Our unique approach combines the strengths of human expertise (high accuracy and nuanced decision-making) with the advantages of AI automation (speed and cost efficiency). This cutting-edge technology helps businesses solve real-world challenges in trust & safety and beyond without complex technical integration. We believe in an online world free from harm, where we can trust AI to make safe and fair decisions. We have raised about $25M in VC funding from top tier funds including Creandum and Plural, and operate at significant scale - analysing millions of daily images and videos. But we are just at the beginning of our journey - and we are very excited about our plans for growth over the coming year and beyond! The role We are now looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to build and deliver innovative AI products to our customers.
