- Stay up-to-date on the latest technologies and techniques to continually enhance our system, yourself, and the rest of the team.
- Have 3+ years of relevant engineering experience, preferably in fast-scaling companies.
- Be a self-directed generalist, capable of picking up any engineering problem and solving it, no matter how tedious.
- Quickly and iteratively ship code that is correct, robust, scalable, and maintainable. We love elegant code, but we’re not optimizing for that. We take pride in the excellence of the product we build.
- Exercise exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.
- Enjoy giving high-level abstractions low-level performance.
- Have functional programming experience. If not, no problem; motivated engineers learn it quickly.
- Have worked with NLP and ML models before and understand their capabilities and limitations.
