About the Company

Openlayer is a testing and debugging platform for machine learning models. Openlayer makes it easy for ML teams to find failures and biases, figure out their root causes, and create unit tests to ensure they stay fixed — all baked in with experiment tracking and versioning (think GitHub for ML). The company was founded by three previous Siri engineers who contributed to over 15 different AI/ML projects at Apple.

Openlayer is currently working with several well-known enterprise companies worth over $1B, helping them rapidly improve the quality of their models and datasets and save tons of time and money.

We're looking for a founding engineer to help us build the future of sustainable, performant, and ethical machine learning.

We're backed by Y Combinator and several of the top investors and funds in the world, including the founders of companies like Instagram, Voyage, Instacart, Sendbird, Mercury.

Tech Stack

Frontend

  • Next.js + Typescript

Backend

  • Flask + SQL (Postgres) + RQ workers for long-running tasks. We are deployed on AWS but offer an on-prem, cloud-agnostic version of the product. Several SoTA ML models used to generate insights and data-centric tests.

I’m a Brazilian engineer and one of the co-founders of Unbox. Previously, I was a Machine Learning Engineer at Apple where I worked at several different areas in Siri, combining multimodal signals for natural language. Before that, I completed my master's in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon where I had the opportunity to work at the Amazon’s Alexa Prize project. I love the combination of artificial intelligence applications and computational social science!
