What startups in AI and machine learning build
Startups here pick one layer, either the model itself or the product and infrastructure around it. That choice decides the hiring, with research and infrastructure work at one end and product and design at the other. Tooling changes fast, so you are hired for the problem more often than for a fixed stack.
