Interview : 2 Hour Skype Interview with Coding exercise
Description :Working with their Enterprise Search and Visual Intelligence team. They primarily need a good Object Oriented Dev with focus on C# (or Python) as their primary strength and ideally some cloud (AWS preferred) and web programming exp preferred.
They will be working on projects like new Search Filters for images and such on the Gettyimages.com site. Thins like colors, tones and other content results or images, predicting behavior of users based on prior search history and Recommendations based on usage and search decisions. This is their Visual Intelligence team, which has about 6 people on it.
While they like Computer Vision and related experience, they just need solid Devs that will implement Algorithm and such from the data science teams.
Here is a description taken from a former Dev's profile on LI that might be helpful as well:
• Developing innovative products leveraging machine learning models to serve more compelling and relevant images to our customers.• Creating scalable, containerized microservices in .NET Core C#, Python, Scala, using Docker and AWS ECS.• Automating deployments using GitLab CI and Terraform against AWS services including CloudFront, API Gateway, ECS, EC2, Elasticache, Route53.the visint team we're working with computer vision algorithms to classify our images and enhance our user experiences. We're working on projects like:- classifying assets by visual style
- using facial recognition to enhance our search results diversity
- predicting future visual trends using machine learning and AI
- using computer vision to add new metadata to images
The expectations for our candidate are:- wants to use new technology to solve hard problems
- creativity
- passion for computer vision and search algorithms
- experience with Big Data is an asset
- experience with machine learning libraries like TensorFlow is an asset
