Full description
Are you an experienced full-stack software engineer with startup experience who would like to help us to scale the next generation of deep learning-powered shopping experiences to thousands of customers and hundreds of millions of shopper sessions?
Who we are
We are an exciting new startup bringing the power of the most advanced AI to small and medium sized businesses so that they can compete in online marketing and sales against the tech giants. We help stores provide their visitors with great information so that shoppers can make good buying decisions more easily.
We have proven in A/B tests that our product (Product Genius) provides a 50%-300% increase in shopper engagement and 20% or greater revenue lift for the online stores who use it. This means that we can essentially mint profit for stores, and they are signing up for our product through our automated onboarding flow. We know we are onto something, and now we need to solve important scalability challenges as we continue to incorporate our learnings from our early batches of customers into our offering.
Our lead investor and board member has over two decades of experience in eCommerce, having co-founded and built two >$billion startups, Endeca and Toast, and funded many other successful eCommerce startups. Our CEO has over 35 years of experience building deep learning based technology and products.
We've designed and implemented cutting-edge A.I. learning systems for the most innovative technology companies in the world (hint: you probably own products by them), and now we're bringing our own A.I. to e-commerce to give the same power to small businesses who need it most.
Our product is the first content management system for applying AI-generated and AI-curated content to eCommerce. Our AI technology leverages large deep learning models with state-of-the-art AI-control developed in a $40M DARPA AI program with Stanford and MIT.
Much of our team is located in Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago. We work together very collaboratively over Slack and Zoom, getting together periodically in person.
Who you are
- Your motivation is to make the experience awesome for the end users.
- You love checking stuff off a todo list, but also appreciate being on a fast-moving team that sometimes changes its lists before you finish.
- You balance your love of creating beautiful code and architectures, with the needs of a fast-moving startup where sometimes we need to deliver functionality to the end user with code that isnt super pretty, at least at first.
- Knowing that your work had a real impact for real world customers makes you super happy.
- You are generous with others and collaborate well in a team environment.
