## About the role

We’re hiring a second Founding Engineer! You’ll be team member #5, working closely with co-founders Joseph + Wilbur and our engineering team and you’ll have significant ownership over the parts of the product you want to cover. As an early engineer, you will be all over the codebase, from spinning up infra to placing pixels on the frontend. We think we’ll be the strongest team you've ever been a part of -- if you're a killer engineer, would love to chat!

## What they're looking for

- Love to work with new technologies and are excited about solving challenging and unfamiliar technical problems
- Work hard and take pride in your work
- Thrive in a fast-paced small team/startup environment (we’re in-person in San Francisco)
- Enjoy building transformational tools for a fast-paced customer set
- Creating “non-traditional” data streams on companies and people / deriving useful structured data from unstructured text
- A system that learns preferences from sparse customer product interactions (overrides, upvotes/downvotes) and automatically iterates towards better messaging
