We are Affinda, an AI Products company that builds world-class solutions. We help companies to embrace AI technologies. Our solutions are used by over 500 companies, we are well funded and are growing >100% p.a.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for a Senior/Staff Software Engineer to work on our Draftable product (https://draftable.com). In this role, you will work with our algorithms team to improve our core comparison algorithms. This is a role where you actually use all of the algorithm/data structure knowledge that people usually only need to know for interviews.
This role is right for you if:
- You are a pragmatic problem solver who enjoys finding elegant solutions to complex problems.
- You care about choosing the right abstractions, and writing clean and efficient code.
- You enjoy the freedom to proactively identify opportunities and build innovative solutions in a commercial environment.
- You know how to select the right tool for the job. Be it programming language, framework, library, etc.
- You have an in-depth knowledge of algorithms & data structures. (Bonus: Experience in competitive coding)
- You have 3+ years of software engineering experience.
- You know how to research a technical topic. (Bonus: Experience in reading & implementing research papers)
- You have great communication skills – You express technical solutions clearly.
- You are independent & self-motivated.
Affinda’s approach to work
- We are family-friendly with flexible hours and location.
- We have clear goals and very few meetings.
- We are a rapidly growing business, and we give you the opportunity to take as much responsibility as you can handle.
- We have a trust-based culture – we promote independence and we help each other out. We work efficiently, without the need for daily stand-ups.
- We want to empower you to be maximally productive, and we’ll reward you fairly when you are. We reward you on your output and we don’t create arbitrary performance metrics.
- We have a product-led development process. We are agile (but not Agile). We like short milestones. We launch things as soon as they’re ready. We don’t have much technical debt.
- We are a small, friendly team of experienced professionals. We are all great at what we do and appreciate the value of working with highly competent peers.
Lifestyle and Diversity
We understand you have a life outside work, and we will respect your non-working and family time.
Affinda is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to building a team that represents a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, skills and experiences.
