Job Description

We're looking to grow our Engineering Team with the addition of a Senior Backend Engineer.

As a Senior Backend Engineer You Will Be:

  • Wrapping ML modules in reusable application components, which can be integrated in different configurations depending on the specific customer’s needs.
  • Leveraging your systems knowledge to deliver fast and scalable software, starting from the design of the system through development and extension.
  • Designing easy-to-use programmer interfaces and tools that will be leveraged by other developers, including APIs for our clients' developers.
  • Creatively solving problems even when the initial answer is unclear.
  • Helping improve our code quality by writing unit tests and performing thorough code reviews.
  • Assessing where the optimization efforts should go in order to utilize better the ML components and know-how of the company.

Desired Experience:

  • Degree in Computer Science or related engineering field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience solving backend software engineering problems.
  • Experience in building web-scale and/or enterprise-grade systems in different environments.
  • Strong ability to reason about data structures, complexity, and possible engineering approaches to a problem.
  • Experience with Python / Django is preferred, but experience with any mainstream language and framework is required.
  • Experience with distributed systems is a huge plus.
  • Experience with database systems, including SQL and/or NoSQL solutions is required.
  • Strong background in data science and mathematics is a plus.
  • Experience with version control systems, preferably Git.

What You Will Achieve:

  • Within your first 30 days:
  • You will get acquainted and eventually be fully comfortable navigating the full codebase, the technology stack, the development processes and org structure within the company.
  • You will learn the product and will make your first significant, user-impacting contributions to one of our products.
  • You will get to know our ML domain, codebase, and practical applications.
  • Within your first quarter and beyond:
  • You will be an integral part of the team and a driven, focused self-starter who can navigate a certain amount of ambiguity, and who is not afraid to take a sizable chunk of functionality, analyze it, break it down, implement it and then assume ownership and responsibility over it.
  • You will be taking an active role in discussions about possible solutions, different approaches, API designs and more.

Benefits & Perks

  • Top notch healthcare for you and your family
  • 30 days of paid leave annually to help nurture work-life symbiosis

  • A dependent care and education stipend up to $3,000 per month, per child under the age of 21 or elderly dependent (maximum of $6,000 per month)
  • Daily catered lunch, snacks, and drinks
  • Budget to attend conferences, train, and further your education
