Overview
Senior Software Development Engineer - Fullstack Desktop/Mobile App (SDE-II) (Remote)
RAx is the first smart workspace that helps researchers (students, professors, corporate researchers) to be better and faster in their research projects. Powered with proprietary AI algorithms and a unique approach to solving problems with design and tech, RAx is set to be the default workspace for any research-heavy projects. Launched in 2019, the product connects information (Research papers, Blogs, Wiki, Books, Courses, Videos, etc.) to behaviors (reading, writing, annotating, discussing and more), opening up newer insights and opportunities in academic space that was otherwise not possible (or not imaginable).
The team
We are a small group of passionate researchers, engineers, and designers who came together to build a product that can revolutionize the way any research-intensive projects are done.
Reducing cognitive load and helping people to convert information into knowledge, is at the core of our mission. Our engineering team is building a scalable platform that deals with tons of data, AI processing over the data and interactions of users from across the globe. We believe research plays a key role in making the world a better place, and we want to make it easy to approach and fun to do!
