Backend Engineer (AI Startup)

Recruiting From Scratch - New York, NY

Employment Type : Full-Time

About the Company Our client believes that the next leap forward in applied AI lies in active learning systems and techniques like reinforcement learning. These systems are ‘curious’ – they continuously try new things in the world, making them better at adapting to and operating in a fast-changing, complex world. Using Active & Transfer Learning, their software transforms business processes into automated feedback loops, creating accelerating advantages for our customers vs. their competition. Most AI today is passive. It learns by looking at billions of examples of historical data. But in the real world, the future seldom looks like the past. Our active learning agents learn not just from past data, but from simulations of different futures – think Neo from The Matrix learning Kung Fu by fighting Morpheus over and over in a virtual dojo. Arena uses simulations and your real environment to train active learning agents that can safely and quickly learn new tasks to improve your future outcomes. As a software engineer at Arena, you will build the next generation of machine learning software. We have 3 main areas of focus: Core Intelligence-ML Modeling, Telemetry-Impact & Algorithmic Health, and AI interfaces. You will be involved in building out functionality for all 3 areas. Required qualifications:

• Interest and enthusiasm for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
• Proven ability to write clean code
• Strong Computer Science fundamentals in data structures, algorithm design, and problem solving
• Strong Intuition architecting, building, and scaling complex systems
• Collaborate with Product Designers, ML Scientists and external stakeholders to deliver compelling user-facing products
• Strong customer focus with ability to translate user requirements into good design
• Ability to take a project from scoping its requirements through to the actual launch
• Experience with continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD)
