x.ai - http://x.ai/ - New York City, NY - VISA - email: jobs@human.x.ai - http://x.ai/jobs

At x.ai, we are building an artificial intelligence powered personal assistant. The software will schedule meetings for our customers automatically without subjecting them to the typical back and forth over email negotiating when and where to meet someone. We are looking for a smart, self-motivated, and enthusiastic individual to join us on the journey in building the artificial intelligence of the future. You’ll get to work side by side with a small team of serial entrepreneurs moving at breakneck speed.

We are an Scala / Node.js / MongoDB / AWS company, and are looking to hire:

a) our first Infrastructure Engineer

b) backend engineer with experience in Scala.

c) web application engineer ( we use Node.js and AngularJs )

----------------

As an Infrastructure Engineer, some of the things you would do are:

* Build, manage and scale out the core infrastructure that powers x.ai, keeping resilience and security in mind

* Iterate on our continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines

* Automate everything to a point of fault

* Constantly improve our development processes and tools to reduce friction from idea to deployment

Ideally, you would have experience with working on distributed applications, Linux, automation tools and container technology like chef / puppet / docker, and experience with at least one programming language. As a bonus, experience in AWS, MongoDB, Apache Spark would be great.

----------------

As a backend engineer some of your responsibilities would be:

* Build, evolve and scale out infrastructure to ingest, process and extract meaning out of free form text

* Design and build a system that enables seamless human-machine interactions

* Solve various optimization and constraint problems related to coordinating people’s schedules and preferences

* Integrate with various external APIs

We are a Scala team and would prefer if you have experience in the language, but feel free to ping us if you want to do hardcore functional programming. :)

----------------

As a web application engineer, you would:

* Evolve Human-Machine interaction to improve data collection for our information-hungry AI

* Design and implement clever ways to capture both implicit and explicit human preferences

* Evolve frontend architecture

* Integrate with various external APIs

We're looking for someone who's awesome at JS / HTML / CSS, and has an excellent product sense. We use Node.js & Angular, so experience with that would be great.

----------------

Let me add that we have an awesome, FP strong team and architecture, if you are looking to apply things like scalaz, shapeless and monocle in practice and have fun discussions about where to best use concepts like Monoids, how to best organize data flow, etc, that's happening here. We are all learning and trying to push the boundaries.

We have an incredible bunch of smart people. Some of us did things in the past that caught some public attention. Our CEO sold multiple companies in the past, one to Yahoo. Our head of data science was in one of the teams that found the Higgs boson at CERN using machine learning. I am the co-author of Scala Slick and worked with Martin Odersky for a few years. Join the propellor heads and build something awesome with us :). Perfect employer.
