| More Information: | Seasalt.ai is hiring a Natural Language Processing developer in its
Conversational AI product line. We care about your attitude, learning ability,
and work ethics more than your skills and experience. A good developer solves
the problem but a great developer solves the problem correctly and
robustly in the long run.
The job is highly technical. A typical day looks like this:
1. 1 hour, Team Communication: supreme communication skill is your lifelong
trump card. If you are an A+ player, you have the chance to influence other A
players to become A+ players. Communicate clearly with your product manager,
designer, coder, tester, and client. Understand what they expect and convey what
you can deliver.
2. 1 hour, Research and Discussion: research your problem first before
attacking it, discuss with your peers to confirm a solution. That helps with an
ultimate solution and makes code review so easier.
3. 1 hours, Documentation: Your README.md is half of your identity. Be
rigorous with documentation because eventually it is read more broadly and
comprehended than your code.Writing great documentation is a work philosophy,
embrace it.
4. 3 hours, Coding: be productive, efficient, and effective in both your code
and (often as a result) your work. It’s not school homework anymore, it’s
production code, the real deal, every line counts.
5. 1 hour, QA Testing and Code Review: Code review and code testing are your
legacy to your developer reputation. People will remember how responsible you
are to your own art of work, and how helpful you are to your teammates. Show
your true work ethics.
6. 1 hour, DevOps: we ask you to be fullstack, not in terms of frontend vs.
backend, but also in terms of development vs. deployment. Eat your own dog food,
deploy your own code, and maintain your own product line. Because everyone else
is doing exactly the same thing to be a responsible A+ team.
The following personal profile fits our requirement:
1. curious, creative, and imaginative: you are always eager to find out how
things work, how to improve things, how to fuse ideas to develop your own unique
thought, and how to create something that never existed before (and justify
it).
2. communicative, transparent, responsible, and honest: we ask you to be
truthful to your code and work even more than to yourself. Be communicative
about pitfalls, be transparent about your thoughts, be responsible about your
release, and be honest with limitations.
3. quick to learn, digest, adapt, and not ashamed to ask: everyday is a
learning day and every task is a learning opportunity. You grow yourself out of
the old you, and meanwhile, grow your product and organization from good to
great, by learning and acknowledging you need to learn.
The following skills fits our requirement:
1. Fundamental understanding of computer science, esp. parallel and distributed
computing.
2. Deep and broad knowledge of machine learning, natural language processing,
and
information retrieval.
3. Proficient in Python, or Golang, or NodeJS, or C++.
4. Good knowledge of RESTful and its frameworks, container and orchestration.
5. Practical experience of CI/CD and DevOps.
You’ll be working with co-founders of Seasalt.ai, who previously built
KITT.AI, a CBInsights AI 100 company and invested by the Allen Institute
for Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Alexa and well known local investors. Our
office is close to the Overlake Business Center in Redmond, south of Highway
520.
We hope to take you on a journey to create the next generation dialogue
platforms. You’ll have an opportunity to create the new state of the art for
enterprise dialogue systems, way better than KITT.AI’s ChatFlow and Google’s
DialogFlow. We value your attitude and ability more than skills. We will train
you and grow you into an A+ NLP developer. |
