<div>Mill is all about answering a simple question: how can we prevent waste? Less waste can save time, money, energy, maybe even our planet. And there’s no better place to start than food. Food waste is one of the most solvable climate problems facing us today. Plus, our trash really stinks. It’s gross, heavy, and our least favorite chore. At Mill we are striving to build a better environment for all, as we take on climate and kitchen change.</div>Role Description:As an AI Engineer, you’ll help build and deploy high-quality AI models that set Mill’s products apart. AI models that provide significant value to customers and business partners. The core of your work will involve creating a valuable market differentiator for the company through intelligent predictions, with a strong focus on both traditional and generative AI, particularly in the field of computer vision.You will help build out best practices and procedures and influence our growing company’s culture and team.
