Machine Learning Engineer

Company Description The Ikigai platform unlocks the power of generative AI for tabular data.

We enable business users to connect disparate data, leverage no-code AI/ML, and build enterprise-wide AI apps in just a few clicks.

Ikigai is built on top of its three proprietary foundation blocks developed from years of MIT research - aiMatch, for data reconciliation, aiCast, for prediction, and aiPlan, for scenario planning and optimization.

Our platform enables eXpert-in-The-Loop (XiTL) for model reinforcement learning and refinement, at scale.

With a combination of enterprise expertise and deep research in the field of AI, Ikigai Labs helps scale enterprises with AI by solving data engineering and modeling problems for business users and data scientists alike.

Our unique ability to unlock value in tabular and time series data through AI-powered data harmonization, forecasting, dynamic learning and planning, is our Ikigai, our purpose in the world of AI.
