The Engineering team is responsible for building out the platforms, API’s, services, workflows, and logical architectures for bringing this vision to life. We are creating a platform fundamentally driven by AI, which scales to a massive trove of data, and a diverse customer base; it is a complex system that will stretch engineering in many directions. You’ll work closely with our Data Scientists on projects to analyze and observe world-scale datasets, write code that can scale to produce never-before-seen insights, and construct APIs to deliver our product vision.

• Ingest product requirements, define technical requirements, and design practical, iterative technology designs that achieve the goal while fitting into our overall technical and product roadmaps.

• Personally develop and deploy services creating and supporting our overall architecture.

• Build and maintain distributed data processing and machine learning pipelines.

• Analyze and propose technical solutions to invent, enable, and enhance our product offerings.

• Be responsible for automating, testing, and deploying your work.

• Review the code and technical designs authored by your fellow team members, and hold a high bar for quality.

• Mentor junior developers and help them level up their skills.

You Have

• BS or MS degree in Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

• 5 years of real-world professional experience writing back end or data-driven software in demanding environments.

• You’ve deployed production code and services to cloud-hosted environments.

• You have demonstrated experience delivering incremental releases from proof-of-concept to MVP to production.

• Self-starter with demonstrated experience working on large, complex problems.

• You care deeply about engineering excellence, clean code, and knowledge-sharing.

• You have strong written and verbal communication skills.
