Senior/Lead MLOps Engineer
London
Mimica
Mimica’s AI-powered task mining automates process discovery, generates as-is process maps, and prioritizes improvement and automation (RPA) opportunities.What we are building
Mimica's mission is to empower enterprises, teams, and individuals to reclaim their most precious resource — time and work more efficiently, with greater purpose and impact.
Our AI-powered task mining observes employee actions across the desktop and categorizes them into detailed process maps. Mimica’s process intelligence highlights inefficiencies, prioritizes improvements based on ROI, recommends the optimal technology for automation (RPA, intelligent document processing, GenAI), and provides a blueprint for building new automations and transforming work.
Our approach to engineeringWe prioritize customer needs first
We work in small, project-based teams
We have flexibility in terms of the problems we work on
We own the full lifecycle of our projects
We avoid silos and encourage taking up tasks in new areas
We balance quality and velocity
