Fact Labs | Founding Engineer | San Francisco and New York (NYC) | Onsite or Remote (US only) | Full Time
Building models in spreadsheets is broken. Spreadsheet models break down when you alter them, modularize them, or add more collaborators. Analysts in banking, investment management, and operations have gotten by with spreadsheets but not without enormous time and effort spent hacking around their many limitations. Fact Labs has developed a more powerful, more collaborative modeling paradigm that is inspired by logic programming and applied ontology yet is still accessible to sophisticated but non-programmer analysts. We are a small, funded, early-stage team with significant domain experience with our target customers.
You would be working on the core engine and the surrounding components that make up our application.
What we are looking for:
- Strong CS fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, networking)
- Prior experience building software systems (network game, game engine, Web browser, database engine, etc.)
Experience in any of the following is a plus:
- Language design and implementation (parsers, interpreters, virtual machines, compilers)
- Database design and implementation (query planning, database/storage engines)
- Logic programming / optimization
Language experience:
- C++ is required
- Typescript / Javascript / Lua are plus.
- Any logic/constraint language, such as Prolog, Datalog, SAT / SMT, is a plus
The modeling experience we’re building is unlike anything out there. If you believe that spreadsheets are not the last word in end-user programming, reach out (stephen [at] fac.tt) and tell us a little about yourself (bio, resume, or LinkedIn). We’d love to hear from you and show you what we’ve been up to!
