Today’s Data Scientists are in pain - spending their time manually wrangling data, building models through slow trial and error, taking on painstaking rewrites for deployment, and dealing with countless other frustrating bottlenecks. And the tools they are using for much of this work – e.g. Jupyter notebooks and Pandas – are over a decade old.
We founded Delphina to change this: our mission is to help the world get better at using data to understand the present and predict the future. Delphina is an AI Agent for Data Science: leveraging a combination of generative AI, large scale optimization, and specialized infrastructure to automate the time-consuming but necessary tasks to build powerful ML models quickly; Delphina will identify relevant data, clean it, train models, and even productionize pipelines.
Our team has previously led large data science and machine learning teams (covering both applications and infrastructure), built startups, and created successful tools for enterprise ML.
We're backed by top AI investors, including Fei-Fei Li, Radical VC, and Costanoa VC.
This role is based in San Mateo, CA. We are in person 2 days per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees. In select cases we also offer remote options.
