Who we are
We are an early stage, venture backed startup developing groundbreaking image recognition and machine learning methods to analyze the torrent of public photos shared on social media platforms. We are working on the cutting-edge of computer vision, machine learning and statistical analysis. Our technology is used by the leading social listening platforms and top consumer brands to improve marketing insights, consumer engagement and audience segmentation. What appears in photos offers new insights into behavior. Reading them automatically and at scale is our challenge.
We are a small, multi-disciplinary, collaborative team where everyone has the opportunity to have big impact on a daily basis. Our company is lead by serial entrepreneurs and financially backed by leaders in technology innovation, marketing and advertising.
Located near the innovation hub of Massachusetts’ Kendall square, our office is part of the Intrepid Labs co-working space where employees benefit from an endless supply of snacks, the requisite on-sight ping-pong and easy access to the MBTA’s Red and Green lines.
Who we are looking for
Ditto is looking for a passionate, talented and inventive machine learning software engineer to join our team. You will implement, optimize, deploy and maintain next-generation computer vision and machine learning systems for analyzing big data at scale.
