🗺 Remote working, flexible hours.
⏱ Permanent, full time
💵 Competitive salary
🍰 Early stage equity

We are a new, 100% distributed, startup building out our product offering in 2020. We’re fully funded and we’re putting together a great team of industry veterans. Although a lot of our early team is in the UK, we’re a global company with team members in India, Germany, the USA, among others.

Hiring people internationally is complicated – with interacting engineering, legal, financial, operations, and HR processes. We’d like to find people who think this is as interesting a challenge as we do.


The role

We value making an inclusive and diverse workplace, and we welcome applicants from marginalized groups – the world over.

We’re looking for a senior backend engineer, that probably means at least five years experience working professionally in teams on web development projects.

If you join us now, you’ll be in on the ground floor building our technology stack and product, helping to embed a positive team culture and build a great working environment.

You'll be working on implementing product features, as we rapidly expand our product offering.

Our technology is (currently) Ruby, Rails, a GraphQL API, and ES6 with React, running on Heroku. This role is primarily on the backend side, though you’ll be able to work elsewhere if you have skills in other areas (and we are also looking for a full-stack developer if that's more your style).

Your job will be to collaborate with product to develop and clarify requirements, and then take charge of implementing significant portions of the product as we expand our offering. You’ll be pairing with other engineers regularly to jointly develop implementation plans and share knowledge.

Looking forward to your application! Come help us help the world work together.


Requirements

Skill sets that are important:

  • Confident with Ruby, and you’ve worked with JavaScript to an extent. You know HTML.
  • You’ve worked with relational databases like MySQL or PostgreSQL.
  • You can articulately discuss requirements and technical plans.
  • You have a good understanding of web standards and development best practices.
  • You’re able to write robust, comprehensible code.
  • You've worked in agile teams of one kind or another.

  • Web security expertise


And finally:

  • You need to have a good home internet connection or are able to get one.
  • You are a fluent English speaker


Benefits

$60k-$80k depending on experience and location living costs.

Fully flexible hours.

30 days plus public holidays, or legal minimum in your region if greater.

We’re a Series A stage start-up, founded by three Norwegian entrepreneurs and backed by renowned Silicon Valley investors (including Costanoa Ventures, Cowboy Ventures, and GGV Capital). We’re US-based, but our team is global, from New Zealand to California. We’re bringing AI to Finance and Accounting because the industry is ripe for automation and big-data insight and the market is huge: $200B just in the US.

We have two main office locations, New York and Oslo. We have a well established remote-work culture, and over 50% of our team has worked fully remotely since we started.


About you

You’ve been a software engineer for 5+ years, but you’ve been a tinkerer and a builder your whole life. We’re a team of builders—when we aren’t building Vic.ai, we’re tinkering with a personal project, contributing to open source, modding a drone, building a computer from components, etc.

You know a great data pipeline from a standard one, because you started out building textbook ones, and learned through experience all the things that make a pipeline robust, transparent, and scalable.

You’re ready for the next step in your career, ready to take on fast-moving challenges. You’re enthusiastic about AI and the possibilities it opens for software development and transforming traditional work. You aim at reaching greatness and delivering exceptional outcomes in your work.

As a team player, you are not afraid of reaching out to your colleagues to discuss development challenges, especially when you are stuck trying to solve a specific issue.

You are fluent in English.


Role details

You will become part of our core back-end team reporting to our Engineering Manager and responsible for the systems that tie everything together into a production environment for our customers. The main focus of the role is to develop and scale our core cloud-based processing service, which includes our OCR technology, extracting data from various sources into databases, generating datasets for machine learning and structuring communication with our AI models.


We mainly develop in and use

  • Python
  • Pandas
  • AWS (EC2, RDS, KMS, SNS, etc)
  • Docker + Kubernetes + Rancher
  • Git

Extensively throughout our platform, so advance knowledge of these is highly preferred.


In addition, our technology stack includes the following components, knowledge of which is desired:

  • Django
  • Celery
  • Elixir + Phoenix
  • Angular.io / TypeScript
  • Tesseract + Textract
  • TravisCi


Key areas of responsibility

  • You will own the data pipelines that feed and interact with our AI models! You will build them, monitor them, scale them.
  • Our AI eats large amounts of data. You will work closely with our AI team to set up scalable data storage solutions, for managing our datasets.
  • As part of continuous improvement take ownership of relevant system components to improve functionality, stability and/or capability


Qualifications

Bachelor or Master’s Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, or similar studies


Experience

  • Experience (3+ years) with Python, including extensive experience with Pandas.
  • Experience operating, scaling, and optimizing databases and storage systems on the cloud. Strong AWS experience preferred
  • You know that deploying software is as much about the environment as it is about the code: experience with docker, unit testing, Ci systems (TravisCi or CircleCi preferred), performance monitoring, log monitoring, and security


What we offer

  • An exciting work environment operating at the forefront of AI technology development
  • A company full of talented, curious, and friendly people
  • A competitive compensation package

NOW HIRING: Senior Backend Engineer

Company: Baremetrics

Website: https://baremetrics.com

Headquarters: San Francisco, California, United States


As a senior backend developer at Baremetrics, you will be working on a variety of projects from payment provider integrations and data ingestion to metrics processing and user-facing features.

We're a very small team with a huge bias for simplicity. Baremetrics has grown to its current state with just 2 backend developers. You'll be working on projects, large and small, from inception to completion.

We approach our work with focus and purpose in an environment of trust and autonomy. When we work on a difficult problem, we take the time to think through and research the possible solutions and then write an implementation plan. Sometimes that may also include some tinkering.


The stack you’ll use

On a base level, there are just a few crucial skills…

  • Deep experience with Ruby
  • Advanced SQL Query optimization and schema design
  • Comfortable exploring and learning new technologies
  • All of our code lives in a mono repo and all of our backend code is written in Ruby. Postgres is our main database and our frontend is moving towards a single-page application written in Vue and Typescript. You should feel comfortable exploring and learning new technologies and languages.


The way we work
You are free to work from anywhere and choose your own hours. Much of our product team are located in Europe, but the team as a whole is spread across five countries and many timezones. Our general cadence is two-week product sprints followed by a bug week. Bug weeks can also include chores, refactoring or customer support.

The work to be done
We have interesting engineering challenges and exciting plans for the future of the product, much of which revolves around processing and finding insights in large data sets.


Here are some examples of the type of problems you would work on:

  • Rewrite our Stripe integration from scratch
  • Investigate metric discrepancies reported by customers and fix them at the root cause
  • Work on making customer segmentation 10,000x faster
  • Investigate and fix a race condition in our Messaging Code
  • Implement a new user-facing product feature
  • Develop tooling to surface business insights across many terabytes of data


About you

You have a strong track record of shipping great products using Ruby. You understand the language in depth. You should also be experienced in SQL query optimization and designing efficient schemas, as that's a big part of our core business logic.

We expect you to be self-motivated and self-directed, a strong individual contributor and true "manager of one". Almost all of our communication happens in writing and while we do sometimes pair program, what we don't do is "meetings". It is important that you are a good writer and effective communicator.


The hiring process

There are a few stages in the hiring process. We know how nerve racking applying for a new job can be and we want to make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We're looking to make an offer to someone no later than September 30.

  • Stage 1: Initial application & questions — You’ll send in your basic info and answer a few questions about your experience and skills. If we believe you’d be a good fit based on that initial application, we’ll dive in with a few more questions to learn more about you, what you want out of your career and how we can help you be successful.
  • Stage 2: Test Project — We’ll do a test project to learn about how you approach problem-solving as well as to get a feel for your coding style. They will take up to a few hours to complete.
  • Stage 3: Interviews — You’ll having a video interview with someone on the engineering team to talk through your test project. You’ll then do a final video interview with our CEO to talk about company culture, benefits, perks, and the future of the company as well as to answer any questions you have.
  • Stage 4: Job Offer — After consulting a few of your references, we’ll make an offer and hope that you’ll join the team!

NOW HIRING: Data Architect / Data Engineer

Company: Hive

Website: https://hive.one

Headquarters: Berlin, Germany


Salary: 50.000 € to 70.000 € / year


Our mission

Our company mission is to map the internet’s attention flows and create transparency about how society assigns credibility to information, people and institutions


What we're working on

We are building an influence algorithm. In other words, we are trying to find ways to describe groups of people mathematically. Many tried and failed before. But we think we can make it work.

Our core hypothesis is that influence can be quantified by tracking attention flows. In order to do that, we ingest data streams from multiple sources (we started with Twitter and are now indexing podcasts and soon more). We then cross-reference these datasets in an attempt to continuously improve the accuracy of our algorithm.

The accuracy of our work is being verified by members of the groups that we aim to describe. We publish our results in real-time and there are thousands of people already using our scores. It is hard to verify when we are right. But it is very easy to tell when we are wrong. This short feedback loop puts us in a unique position to work on problems that might be much harder or impossible to solve somewhere else.


Work setup

We are a small, VC-funded startup. We are a remote-first team. Most of the team is based in Europe (Berlin, London). You can make your own hours, but everybody is expected to be online during office hours in CET. We try to meet in person and work together for several days at least every 3 months. Other than that the company ‘lives’ in Slack, Notion and other tools enabling effective communication.


Tasks

About this role

Your main responsibility will be the design, implementation and continuous development of our data architecture.

We leverage heterogeneous data streams (Twitter API, RSS feeds, …) and therefore rely on non-relational databases as the central technology in data warehousing and processing. Deep familiarity with NRDBS (e.g. ArangoDB) in clustered architectures is what we are looking for the most in a candidate.

As owner of our data architecture, you will develop a deep understanding of the problems we are trying to solve with data, as well as our company's strategic direction and make design and implementation decisions accordingly.

This role is crucial for our company and we will ensure that the successful applicant enjoys the full support of our experienced team of developers and algorithm architects.

Additionally, you will also interface closely with our developers and algorithm architects in peripheral tasks up- and downstream from our DBS, such as

  • Designing, launching and maintaining crawlers to tap into new data streams from various APIs
  • Specifying data requirements and pre-processing routines as well as generating features from raw data
  • Relating and matching entities from different data streams
  • Measuring and ensuring data quality
  • Developing solutions for automatic labeling of data based on machine learning


Requirements

  • Proficiency in *nix and Python
  • Extensive experience with relational and non-relational databases (ideally ArangoDB) in clustered architectures
  • Experience with the AWS ecosystem
  • Experience utilizing 3rd party APIs for web scraping
  • Good communication & writing skills


Great to have

  • Experience working with API's & RSS feeds
  • Interest and familiarity with latest developments in Deep Learning and general AI


Don't apply if

  • You get defensive about your ideas
  • You need somebody else to organize your work
  • You'd rather not talk to people


Do apply if

  • You use precise language and you insist that others do to
  • You are happy to drop an idea if circumstances have changed and it's no longer the best solution
  • You look for systemic flaws in systems and you are proactive in preventing them


Benefits

The job is full time permanent. If you work from Germany, you will need a German work permit and you will get an employment contract, if you work from somewhere else in the world, you will work as a freelancer, and need to fulfill the legal requirements for freelancing in your country.

If you work from Berlin, you can work from our Berlin office, located in Mitte.


How to Apply

Please use the apply button. In the confirmation email you will get a link to a typeform with some task related questions. We think that your answers tell us way more about you than a CV or cover letter ever could.

If you take your time to answer the questions, we will get back to you within a couple of days. If you don't take your time to answer the questions, we will not move forward with you.
