[stealth] | Seattle, WA | Full Time, Onsite | Salary + Equity
We're a stealth startup in the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence's (AI2) startup incubator looking to make our first engineering hires.
We're working on a consumer product to help non-native English speakers write better by giving suggestions and corrections for writing (helpful for native speakers too, but particularly suitable for non-natives!). If you've ever finished writing something in English and then thought, "Hmm, is there any better wording for this?", then you might enjoy working on this!
You can think of our tool as an AI-powered super-Grammarly. We are post-launch and have a small but quickly growing number of users who love to use our product. Our founding team has extensive technical experience, including background in academic natural language processing (NLP) research. We are closely affiliated with AI2, commonly recognized as a top-tier research institution in the field of NLP (we get free lunches there, too!).
We have pre-seed funding and our looking to expand our engineering team as we quickly scale up and flesh out our product.
Our stack: Java / Typescript / Python (mostly PyTorch)
Hiring for full-stack, front-end, and back-end roles.
Requirements:
- Fluency in at least one of the above programming languages (preferably Java/Typescript)
- Unfortunately due to our early stage we can only consider applicants already living in or planning to live in the Seattle area
- You are comfortable designing and developing full features for production.
- You have no problem working in a dynamic startup environment where the code is immature and the tech stack is constantly evolving.
Ideal:
- You are intimately familiar with the challenges that non-native speakers face when writing in English. Perhaps you or your family members are non-native speakers yourselves.
- You have experience working in production environments and have some familiarity with parts of the stack that are not necessarily your expertise - SQL, deployment, etc.
- You love building consumer products and seeing people say they love what you've built.
- You love learning (human) languages and serving people from diverse backgrounds.
To apply, please send a resume to ron (at) ai2-in-c-u-b-a-t-o-r.com (with dashes removed, that's "ai2 incubator" - scraping bots are getting fancy haha). Please add HN to the email subject.
