100 Experiments (100E) is AI Singapore’s flagship programme, set up to help companies solve their real-world business problems by building AI solutions consisting of machine learning, deep learning models, and end-to-end pipelines that are ready for deployment. 
Our solutions extend across computer vision, NLP and general ML. Projects that we have rolled out includes; object detection for autonomous vehicles, question-answering AI for education chatbots, and fraud detection for insurance. 


We are expanding our team to meet the growing demand for AI solutions and talent in the market. Since our inception in 2017, we have established a culture of respect, continuous learning, experimentation and curiosity. We highly encourage our staff to centre their work around innovation. You will join a passionate group of people who are inspired by the opportunity to work on AI problems and be part of the team to lead the growth of the sector in Singapore. 


Duties & Responsibilities 

  • Assist our pre-sales consultants to scope AI projects based on problem statements from clients, while applying design thinking practices.
  • Be the lead engineer on AI projects by working with a team of junior apprentices to develop the end-to-end AI solution for the company, assisted by AI/engineering heads and project manager.
  • Apply best practices across the solution development process covering the following areas: solution design, data exploration, model development, CI/CD and tracking, pipeline building, deployment testing, technical documentation, and clean coding. 
  • Communicate, consult and obtain buy-in with client stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle to ensure requirements are met.
  • Keep abreast of, and test emerging ideas in the areas of AI ethics, robustness, fairness, explainability and security.
  • Assist in updating technical training materials for AISG’s AI Apprenticeship Program, covering fundamentals in machine learning, deep learning and engineering. Be part of the team conducting the training and mentoring of batches of apprentices in their 8-week deep-skilling program.
  • Contribute to AI community-building activities such as technical writing, conducting meetups, blogging and competitions.

    •    At least 2 years of hands-on experience developing AI/ML solutions in a corporate or research setting. Solutions that have been deployed into production will be viewed favourably, especially if the candidate assisted in the integration and testing.
    •    Solid understanding of machine learning/deep learning fundamentals. Able to appreciate and explain the mathematical workings of common algorithms for computer vision/NLP/tabular data.
    •    Hands-on skills in Python-based AI/ML frameworks, specifically TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, and scikit-learn, with a demonstrated ability to adhere to clean coding principles.
    •    Experience working with software development tools such as Git and Docker. Prior exposure to Linux environments and CI/CD processes is an advantage. Familiarity with MLOps toolkits for productivity, tracking and reproducibility is a bonus.
