About SafelyYou
SafelyYou’s passionate mission is to empower safer, more person-centered care across senior living through world-leading AI, industry-changing hardware, and remote expert clinicians, significantly improving outcomes for residents while increasing peace of mind for families and reducing costs for communities.
Originating in 2015 as the doctoral research of CEO George Netscher—and inspired by his own family's experience with Alzheimer's disease—SafelyYou was spun out of UC Berkeley’s Artificial Intelligence Research Lab, one of the top five AI research groups in the world. And today, our company is solving critical challenges in senior living, from resident falls and ER visits to staffing concerns, length of stay, and NOI. All helping ensure that communities can focus on improved care for residents while still reaching their financial goals.
SafelyYou is one of five most innovative fall technologies referenced in the Senate Falls Report (2019), a winner of the McKnight’s Tech Partner of the Year, and has been named to Fortune’s Impact 20 list, which recognizes companies making people’s lives better through innovation.
Your Role at SafelyYou
SafelyYou is looking for a Sr. Software Developer - MLOps to help guide and expand their technology platform. MLOps at SafelyYou involves the upkeep and further development of our experimentation, training, and evaluation systems as well as management and control of our data corpus. The right candidate will be able to use operational skills with an architectural mindset to maintain stability and accountability of the SafelyYou products while enabling rapid growth of new machine learning models and services and rapid problem-solving of issues.
What you'll work on
The Ideal Candidate: • You know AWS well. You have opinions about the best choice between fancy managed services and do-it-yourself with EC2 and a ball of scripts. Those opinions change based on the circumstances. You know how and when to save money on infrastructure and how and when to save money on human effort. • You're deep on model lifecycles. Our MLOps team not only runs the creation of new models but also makes sure that they are deployable, and when deployed that they’re working correctly. We also know that each model will have a time after it is useful, and we think about what data retention and metadata processing look like for a model that is finished. We're looking for someone to help ensure that our fleet of devices can be as stable and productive as our fleet of servers. • You think broadly about machine learning. You've got interests that range from LLM security to vector database architecture to linear algebra implementations in hardware. When someone describes a cool new trick in AI vision, you want to know how and why it works. • You are powerfully motivated. You seek out what could be improved and improve it. You prefer to set your own task list over having one spelled out for you. You’ve got experience with Agile development practices and work comfortably with Scrum or Kanban boards. • You are powerfully lazy. Automation is a requirement for you. Toil in any capacity is heartbreaking, and you've got a long list of different kinds of tools and strategies for eliminating it. You know that the “ML” side of “MLOps” brings wide experimentation that enables fast and confident feature development. You know that the “Ops” side brings rapid deployment, observability, and bug-fixing. • You are powerfully kind. SafelyYou is a company that is doing real good in the world and that is what drives us. You know that you are working as part of a team and that leading with empathy gets better results in every way. • You’ve seen things. You’ve had 5-7 years implementing MLOps practices at medium to large scale, and 3-5 years of experience managing AWS resources in a professional setting. You have stories about things that went well and poorly in those categories.
