Remote Machine Learning scientist jobs

About the role: We, at Turing, are looking for talented Machine Learning scientists who can help solve a range of exciting problems. We offer the best ML jobs that provide candidates a unique opportunity to make an impact by applying advanced machine learning concepts to our products. About Turing.com: Turing’s mission is to unleash the world’s untapped human potential. We use AI to source, evaluate, hire, onboard, and manage engineers remotely (including the HR and compliance aspects) in a bigger platform that we call the “Talent Cloud”. We recently achieved unicorn status with a valuation of $1.1B, after raising over $140M in financing over four rounds of funding. 900+ companies including companies like Johnson & Johnson, Pepsi, Dell, Disney +, and Coinbase have hired Turing developers.
