InReach is changing how VC in Europe works, for good. Through data, software and Machine Learning, we are building an in-house platform to help us find, reach-out to and invest in early-stage European startups, regardless of the city or country they’re based in.
We are looking for a machine learning engineer to lead in the continued development of InReach’s machine learning capabilities. This involves cleaning / wrangling / merging / processing the data on companies and founders from across Europe, building algorithms to find new opportunities, and the pipelines for continuous improvement.
It is important to us that candidates be passionate about helping entrepreneurs and startups. This is our bread-and-butter and we want you to be involved.
This is a remote-first role, whether you’re in the office in London or working remotely, so we are looking for someone with excellent written and spoken communication skills. InReach is a remote-first employer and we are looking to this hire to help us become an exceptional place to work for remote employees.
