Senior/Lead MLOps Engineer

Mimica's mission is to empower enterprises, teams, and individuals to reclaim their most precious resource — time and work more efficiently, with greater purpose and impact.

Our AI-powered task mining observes employee actions across the desktop and categorizes them into detailed process maps. Mimica’s process intelligence highlights inefficiencies, prioritizes improvements based on ROI, recommends the optimal technology for automation (RPA, intelligent document processing, GenAI), and provides a blueprint for building new automations and transforming work.

In this role, you will support the backend of a new Product - the Mimica Maker. This will be a product that allows users to build and orchestrate bots from the data we record.

You will build pipelines and core components of our ML systems, deliver new AI features and drive improvements to our infrastructure and services.

As a founding member of the Maker Team, you‘ll have the opportunity to shape our technical direction, processes and culture.
