Job Description
Playment’s mission is to expedite the AI age. By providing high-quality training data solutions,
we help companies to bring their ML products to market much faster. We work with 50+
customers, create over 1B+ annotations via our proprietary state-of-the-art tooling. We've grown
100% YoY for the last 3 years, are profitable, and have been a leading player in computer vision
globally.
We’ve built a truly industry agnostic platform to support the growing needs of our customers. Eg
of our customer use cases - Automotive companies build self-driving capabilities, Agriculture
companies for identifying weeds & fruit picking, Insurance companies for claim processing &
damage detection, Retail companies for shelf tracking, Drone/Satellite imagery for terrain
analysis, E-commerce for cataloging & visual object understanding etc.
Telus International or TI for short, has been a global leader in data services since 2005. Listed
on Feb 21 on the NYSE, TI, now has a market cap of $10Million+. With Playment’s acquisition
on July 21, we now have a combined strength in video, images, audio text labeling, serving the
world's top ML teams.
Why is it important?
High-quality training data is quintessential to improve the precision of ML algorithms. Forbes
lists ‘Autonomous Cars’ as one of the technology trends for the next decade and also estimates
ML engineers spent 70% of their time in pre/post-processing & data management steps.
Companies need to build sophisticated tooling (supporting all forms of sensor data), hire and
manage hundreds of skilled people to ensure high-quality labeled data.
Our autonomous driving customers estimate 1 hour of video data needs 800 man-hours of
manual human work. Today, in the wake of the autonomous car industry only a few million kms
of data has been labeled and 10x more will be collected before the world sees them on road.
Just as DevOps is critical to tech implementation, AI Ops will be a big challenge as AI
development commercializes in the next 5-10 years. We aim to become an AI data platform, a
critical part of the AI infrastructure stack.
Join us to witness & influence the unfolding of AI, which is the largest technology wave the
world will ever see.
Our stack includes Java, Golang, C#, Python, Postgres, Redis, Rabbitmq, Kubernetes, React,
Typescript, Angular, Vanilla Javascript, Redux.
