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. Potentially New.ro can also optimize Devops costs for ML oriented companies by creating the most efficient Devops architecture and also by running the jobs in the best times. 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:

The position is multifaceted and encompasses a combination of Business Analyst responsibilities such as gathering requirements from stakeholders, creating specifications, developing user stories, and conducting demos, along with Project Manager duties such as implementing development processes, approaches, and task tracking tools, ensuring on-time delivery, improving information flow and product feedback loops, managing stakeholder relations and balancing competing interests. 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.

The Candidate Profile:

The ideal candidate for this position should have a background in either SW or QA engineering and a good understanding of Agile methodology. They should be skilled in managing both processes and people, enjoy building successful teams, and be confident in managing change and relationships.

The role will involve customer-facing responsibilities and pre-sales activities, so the candidate must be fluent in English and have some experience or interest in pre-sales. The development team's primary stakeholders are in the US, so the TPM should be able to work later hours.
