For the given job description <<X is Alphabets moonshot factory. We are a diverse group of inventors and entrepreneurs who build and launch technologies that aim to improve the lives of millions, even billions, of people. Our goal: 10x impact on the worlds most intractable problems, not just 10% improvement. We approach projects that have the aspiration and riskiness of research with the speed and ambition of a startup.
About The Team
Tidal is a team at X working on a moonshot to protect the ocean and preserve its ability to support life and help feed humanity, sustainably. Our initial area of focus is on developing hardware and software technologies that bring greater visibility and understanding of whats happening under the water. Learn more about Project Tidal .
About The Role
As an Applied Machine Learning Software Engineer at Tidal, you will be working alongside other software engineers, perception experts, and research scientists to develop and deploy state-of-the-art methods to create a platform leveraging perception and machine learning to solve humanitys biggest problems  from food production to renewable energy to climate change  by sustainably utilizing the ocean.
Your role will be to enable developers to run ML workflows smoothly and efficiently. You will develop sustainable, scalable solutions to ensure the reliability and performance of these ML workflows, improve engineer productivity and ultimately help advance our Perception and ML Platform. If you love getting tech to work on challenging, real world problems, please apply!
How You Will Make 10X Impact
