We are a founding team of Software and Machine Learning Engineers and Product Managers.
In our roles at Payoneer, Amazon, ironSource, and Wix.com we saw that machine learning was growing in importance for the mission of our companies. We saw that designed, built and deployed correctly, we could deliver smarter, more valuable solutions to our customers.The breakthroughs we were seeing were significant, and so the desire grew to add more talent and ML capabilities to our solutions.
Experienced data scientists and ML engineers are hard to find and expensive to hire.
The tools and solutions to manage the lifecycle from model and features design through testing, deployment, monitoring and automating are lacking.
The ad-hoc, disconnected approach to ML operations causes serious frustration, wasted time, and severely constrained throughput.
As such, our ability to move from model design to model implementation was constrained.
In a quest to improve this critical capability, we first looked for a platform that we could implement to accelerate our ML throughput. After striking out in this endeavor, we undertook to develop our own internal system.
After seeing the benefits we were delivering, we asked the question, how are other companies solving this problem?
We found that very large companies with sophisticated ML capabilities had done what we had done - build a bespoke internal solution for ML Engineering.
What about everyone else?
As we started talking with more and more companies that were ramping up their use of ML, we found they were struggling with the same problem.
For them, the impact was significant: An inability to quickly take ideas, build ML models, and run them as part of their product in any reasonable time frame.
Companies where ML is increasingly important, and therefore speed to production is increasingly important too.
Companies that want to focus on their core competencies, and don't want to spend their precious resources building and maintaining an ML Engineering Platform.
Companies that want more ML throughput, even with a scarcity of ML data scientists and ML engineers.
