You might be a fit if you

Are an experienced generalist who writes high-quality code.

Can own large pieces of work and solve whatever problems come your way.

Have designed APIs and built backend services for complex, consumer-grade products.

Are comfortable with Python/Django/SQL/AWS. Languages can be learned, but because we're small and will be counting on you to make big contributions quickly, familiarity with our stack is helpful. ML experience a plus.

Operate well in an early-stage environment where there's more change and less structure compared to a more mature company.

Are highly collaborative and an excellent communicator.

Some tech you'll help build:

Article and PDF parsers that use a combination of techniques from heuristic frameworks to NLP to computer vision

Data ingestion pipelines that consolidate content from disparate sources, including RSS, save-extensions, newsletters, and Twitter

Scrapers that ingest content produced by specific individuals wherever it occurs on the internet

Data synchronization engine that powers offline interactivity across multiple clients

Our Stack

Django, Postgres, Redis, Celery in the backend

Swift iOS app with Realm for local datastore

React for internal tooling

Runs entirely on AWS

Comfortable dev environment using Git, Docker, automated tests, and continuous deployment

GitHub, Slack, Notion, Figma, Linear
