Lilt
Staff Fullstack Engineer
LILT is a high-performance, large-scale language translation system. We invest in and prioritize workflow (i.e., usability and interface design) and backend AI systems. Since the translation workforce is distributed worldwide, there are interesting cloud engineering problems to solve. We have a strong preference for building our own backend technology, so you'll be implementing and working with the latest natural language processing (NLP) techniques and ideas. This position can be based out of our Emeryville, CA or Indianapolis, IN offices and will be expected to work in the office in a hybrid capacity. Additional locations include the Washington D.C., New York City, and Boston metropolitan areas where you will start as fully remote and then transition to hybrid once offices are opened in those locations. Authorization to work in the US is a precondition of employment. As a Staff Fullstack Engineer, you will work with a group of talented, mission-driven colleagues to propose ideas to define, drive, and execute projects on Lilt's Linguist GUI, App Server, and backend systems. You will enable linguists to deliver truly localized experiences. Engineering is at the forefront of the company strategy, therefore this is a high-visibility, high-impact role with enormous growth opportunities. You must be curious, have attention to detail, be energized by a challenging entrepreneurial environment, be comfortable thinking big while also diving deep, and be open to experimenting and iterating on processes as the company grows. Key Responsibilities
Bachelor of Science or Masters of Science in Computer Science (Masters preferred)
7+ years of professional experience as a Fullstack engineer
Experience leading an engineering team in a technical capacity (e.g. not a manager of people)
Experience working on large-scale, distributed software systems
Proficient in React or other associated libraries, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML
Experience with backend technologies such as Java and Python
Solid relational database knowledge and significant experience with very large MySQL installations are highly valued
Basic knowledge of NLP and machine learning techniques is highly valued
Professional fluency in English
Benefits
Compensation: At market salary, meaningful equity, 401(k) matching, and flexible time off plus company holidays
Medical Benefits: Employees receive coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus FSA/DFSA, HSA, and Commuter benefits. In addition, LILT pays for basic life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability
Paid parental leave is provided after 6 months.
Monthly lifestyle benefit stipend via the Fringe platform to allow employees to customize benefits to their lifestyle
