The Product:

Neu.ro is a startup Sandbx has heavily invested in. Its main product is an MLOPS platform - a tool allowing ML practitioners to deploy, train and run their models on various platforms (Cloud, on premise etc.) without dealing with the low level Devops tasks.

For this reason New.ro also positions itself as a “Green AI” platform.

In addition, on top of New.ro and using New.ro ML skills, Sandbx provides various ML consulting services for various clients. These engagements can be short term consulting engagements as well as long term projects.
The Role:

Additionally, there are some pre-sale tasks involved such as running discovery workshops for potential clients, gathering requirements, creating an initial project outline, and assisting with time and effort estimates. Overall, the role has complete end-to-end responsibility for product or service implementation.
