At yzr we are building our Web Platform using a hybrid of Code and No-Code technologies.
The main goal of our platform is to help to save time, money and help business to have more accurate analytics by providing AI algorithms based on NLP, NLU Word Embedding and Tagging.
We propose three features:

• Standardisation that consists to search variations in the dataset of our customers by using lexical & semantics clustering and abbreviation & synonym detection.
• Labelling: once the dataset is standardized, our customers use our pattern detection and NER algorithms to extract important information from their datasets
• Matching: at this stage our lexical & semantics clustering and classification algorithms calculate distance between products in the dataset to allow our customers to classify and regroup products in family of products.

We are looking for a Head of AI to join our team and help us improve and achieve our objectives of 2023 by achieving the following missions:

• Lead our AI team and make it more efficient by improving collaboration in the team.
• Create new AI Algorithm and Improve our current algorithms
• Speed UP and improve the quality of our R&D
• Improve response times of our AI Algorithms

Requirements

• Doctorate or Masters in Data Science.
• research experience designing, executing, and supporting Deep Learning (NLP,NLU,Word Embedding,Tagging,…) algorithms.
• Good knowledge in python scripting languages and experience with relational databases are also helpful.
• Exceptional knowledge and understanding of data modelling best practices.
• Communication skills: It is important that he/she possess good written and verbal communication skills to effectively articulate complex AI reports and relate with backend team that will integrate algorithms in the AI.
• Extensive experience with at least Docker/Kubernetes system.
• Ops skills (exceptional knowledge of CI/CD and automate testing).
• AWS, AZURE, GOOGLE or OVH Certified Solutions Architect certification will be appreciate.
• Practical knowledge of Agile Software development methodology.
