Role overview
The team is small but made up of seasoned engineers. We deploy on AWS, and most of our company’s code is in TypeScript, including the infrastructure, but some of this particular team’s code is in Python for the reasons you’d expect. We collaborate on our projects and keep the work process light. Our PM knows the space in and out. We’ve shipped the first version of a recommendation engine, and there’s plenty more in the pipeline. There aren’t many established best practices or ready answers in this field, so the work is a lot about experimentation and learning.
What we're looking for
- Background and interest in some of the following: statistics, machine learning, LLMs, recommendation systems, RAG systems (experience with their evaluation is a plus)
- Proficiency in Python, familiarity with TypeScript (or the other way around)
- Familiarity with vector databases
- A habit of staying up to date in a seriously evolving field
- Experience with or interest in learning AWS
- Experience building software that’s actually delightful for the users
- A pragmatic mindset for making sensible trade-offs
- Interest in podcasts is really optional, but if you have it, this job will be so much more fun
- We are remote-first but prefer to have teams in similar timezones; for this team, this means an overlap of at least 4 hours with CET (UTC+1).
- We are currently hiring for this role in Sweden and the UK, so applicants must be based in one of these locations and have the right to work there.
Culture
Acast is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, national origin or any of the other wonderful characteristics that make us different.
Culture is our number one priority as a business. We believe people come first, and we work every day to enable autonomy, continuous improvement and bring out the best in people. We’re global and have remote teams, so it’s even more important that we strive for an open, inclusive and caring environment where everyone feels visible and welcome.
We consider ourselves a modern organization driven by strong values to create the best, most fulfilling and nurturing culture.
We very much look forward to finding the next great person to join our cause!
