Job description

GrowTal builds artificial intelligence and machine learning products for marketing measurement. Our platform connects a client's marketing and revenue data, measures performance, models what drives outcomes, and reports the results.

The Associate Software Engineer works across the backend and frontend alongside the Chief Technology Officer.

Responsibilities

• Take scoped problems from definition through implementation, testing, and release.
• Work across the stack rather than within a single layer.
• Build and maintain integrations with external marketing and analytics platforms.
• Contribute to the parts of the product that call large language models, including handling malformed or incorrect output.
• Diagnose failures in a running system.
• Write tests and participate in code review as author and reviewer.

Requirements

• 1 to 3 years of professional experience, or self-directed work demonstrating equivalent capability.
• Demonstrated ability to make progress on unfamiliar problems without detailed instructions.
• Fundamentals: how a request moves through an application, how data is stored and queried, and how to diagnose a failure from available evidence.
• Proficiency in at least one general-purpose language and the ability to become effective in others quickly.
• Something you have built yourself with machine learning or artificial intelligence, including calling a model and handling unreliable output. Personal and academic projects qualify.
• Fluency with artificial intelligence assisted development, and the ability to explain what any line you submit does, why it is there, and how it behaves on upstream failure.
• Version control practice in a shared codebase and constructive response to review.

Preferred

• Work you have put in front of real users.
• SQL beyond basic queries.
• Exposure to cloud infrastructure or continuous integration.
• Interest in marketing and advertising data.
• Stack
• Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy
• React, TypeScript
