Upshot is the preeminent company providing appraisal services for NFTs and unique digital assets. Leveraging cutting-edge machine learning models, Upshot produces accurate, real-time appraisals for almost any NFT. Our products create a broad new frontier for NFT markets, enabling an entirely new class of financial primitives.
We are a team of crypto-natives and ML experts, with deep experience working on some of the leading projects in Web3, and backed by the foremost funds and angels in crypto. At Upshot, we are committed to nurturing top talent looking to make an impact at the forefront of this new frontier.
The NFT marketplace poses considerable challenges for ML model development, as NFT collections and data sources are in constant flux. Pricing NFTs needs to successfully deal with the scale and rapid evolution of the marketplace, as well as the idiosyncrasies of individual NFT collections. This is a complex ML problem with various challenging aspects: heterogeneous input data in different formats (images, text, video, audio), arbitrary metadata per collection, sparse transaction and auction history, cold-start problems, and high risk of model drift over time.
We are looking for an ML Engineer to join our Data & ML team. Our growing team of ML engineers is responsible for building market-leading ML models that accurately estimate the value of NFTs and NFT collections, utilising the heterogeneous data available per collection. The ML Engineer will report to our Head of Data & ML.
