Company Overview:
We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. The process today is time intensive, incredibly expensive, and often ends in failure. The Protege platform facilitates the secure, efficient, and privacy-centric exchange of AI training data, now operating in the healthcare and media industries.
Solving AI's data problem is a generational opportunity. The company that succeeds will be one of the largest in AI — and in tech.
We're hiring for multiple data engineers ranging from senior to staff level to join the team.
