Cool Tech + Interesting Problems + Smart People

Machine learning engineer

Pros

You wouldn't think detecting out of stocks is that hard of a problem, but it is actually very difficult. The real world is very messy. You have to think through every different situation and that makes the problems fun and difficult. I really like the challenge.

Cons

Edge cases.... product pushers, peg hooks, produce area, fridges with frost, your algorithms will have to handle each of these cases to hit your accuracy targets!

Pros

I worked at Focal right before COVID. I truly loved this company. Worked closely with the CEO and the C-Suite. Very collaborative and tight nit team. Lots to be done and they work really hard. They would not ask you to do something they wouldnt do.

Cons

Its a start up, so process is not there yet. Needs to get there. It is just forming.
