About Redgate
Redgate brings together people who want to do their best work in an environment built on trust, accountability, and collaboration.

You'll be part of a small cross-functional team (a Tech Lead plus four to six Software and Machine Learning Engineers), and you'll regularly run projects in parallel: contributing to ongoing experiments while also exploring entirely new directions. The tech stack is deliberately ...
