Senior Finance Officer - London, United Kingdom - Encord

    Default job background
    Description
    Encord is building an active learning platform for computer vision AI applications. Our mission is to enable companies to unlock the power of AI while retaining 100% control of their data.

    We have raised $20M from top investors including CRV, Y Combinator Continuity, the Harvard Management Company, top industry executives, and other leading Bay Area investors.

    Started by ex-computer scientists, physicists, and quants, we felt first hand how the lack of tools to prepare quality training data was impeding the progress of building practical AI.

    We have devised a unique methodology for automating the tasks related to preparing quality training data, in effect turning the training data problem into a data science problem.

    Seize this exceptional opportunity as an Finance & Ops Associate at Encord.

    We seek a multi-talented, ambitious individual who excels in business processes and is eager to take responsibility for day-to-day operations and financial management at Encord.

    You will work closely with our co-founders and senior team, gaining unmatched experience and insight into running a rapidly growing business from an operations perspective.
