About Vardera Labs
Vardera Labs is building the next generation of infrastructure for the art, auction, and collectibles industry—combining cutting-edge AI, computer vision, and automation to power catalog creation, data strategy, and operational excellence for auction houses worldwide. We’re a small, venture-backed team with a bold mission: to modernize a multi-billion-dollar market at a critical moment of generational ownership transfer and digital transformation.
What You’ll Do
- Build and deploy AI/ML models across new asset categories (comics, cards, watches, jewelry, fine art, etc.).
- Balance from-scratch builds with leveraging foundation models and off-the-shelf tools — using the right approach for speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
- Prototype quickly, test with real customer data, and push to production.
- Design workflows that minimize wasted effort while compounding into long-term defensible data + model infrastructure.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong background in applied ML (vision, text, multimodal, embeddings, fine-tuning).
- Pragmatic decision-maker: knows when to train, when to adapt, and when to just glue things together.
- Builder mindset — bias toward action, rapid iteration, and comfort with messy or sparse data.
- Excited to join a post-seed startup as a founding team member with broad project ownership.
Why Join
- Direct founding-level impact in a venture-backed company already working with major customers.
