As a senior software engineer, you’ll be working with a team of other software engineers, data scientists, and statisticians to bring a totally new type of software product to market. Recast is operating at the frontier of what a software product can be and we need sophisticated software engineers that can help us push the R language to its limits.
What you'll do in your first 6 months:
- Partner with the data science team to take complex analyses and visualizations and put them into live production systems our customers can use
- Collaborate with the AWS infrastructure team to build robust tooling and workflows that allow data scientists to operate the Recast platform
- Work with our app team to develop performant and scalable solutions that put statistical concepts into the hands of users
Things you probably have experience in:
- Deep understanding of R, including S3 and R6
- Developing and managing CRAN-quality packages
- Using R in production cloud environments
- CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-code tools and platforms
- Automated testing of various types
Things that should excite you that might scare off other folks:
- Working with serverless infrastructure
- Building frameworks to support data scientists in turning complex analyses into well-tested productionized code
- Working independently on a very complex codebase without full test coverage
- Being a part of the process in determining what a product should do for end users and how to measure product success
Familiarity with the following would be nice to have, but aren’t required:
- Plotly
- Kubernetes
- Terraform
- Javascript
- DDL and DML with OLTP databases
What we offer you:
- Work wherever you’re happiest. We're fully remote
- Competitive remote salary along with early-stage equity
- Highly skilled coworkers you can learn from and who are eager to learn from you
- An async-first culture with a focus on documentation over standing meetings
- Autonomy and support to do your best work in your own time
- Your local holidays plus unmetered PTO (minimum 2 weeks mandatory PTO!)
Note: Recast is committed to building a diverse team so if you are from an under-represented background in tech (e.g., women, BIPOC, etc.) please apply even if you don’t necessarily check all of the boxes here.
While Recast is officially based in the US, we're a fully remote team (one founder lives in Brooklyn, the other in Mexico City and team members in 6+ countries around the world).
If this sounds interesting to you, we'd love to learn more about you!
