Job description

Remote eligible : Persons in these roles are welcome to work remotely from any location.

Who You Are :

You are a software engineer who enjoys building web applications. You like thinking about how to make sites that are easy to use, fast, and accessible. Youre someone who thrives in a small, dynamic organization where there can sometimes be large amounts of ambiguity and autonomy. Youre self-directed and enjoy working independently while still having fun technical conversations with your team to determine the best route forward. A key interest you have is in extending our public web presence at allenai.org. If you would like to collaborate with us to implement ideas around communicating our work to the greater world we would love to talk to you.

You will collaborate with our communications team, researchers, and engineers to present our institute clearly to the outside world. You will also work with the rest of the team to develop demos for research applications and internal tools to help us organize and present our research. For example, your next challenge might be building a website to highlight the impact of the Aristo research project, building a portal to present our fundraising strategy as a nonprofit organization, or partnering with other engineers to build infrastructure that organizes our research datasets and publications.

What Youll Need :

• A strong interest and focus on user experience.
• 2+ years of industry experience building high quality web applications
• Interest or experience using TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Webpack. While we dont require familiarity with these technologies, you should expect to gain expertise in them at AI2.
• Experience parenting directly with product and design to develop websites.

Who We Are :

The Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence is a non-profit research institute in Seattle founded by Paul Allen and headed by Professor Oren Etzioni. The core mission of AI2 is to contribute to humanity through high-impact research in artificial intelligence.

In addition to AI2s core mission, we also aim to contribute to humanity through our treatment of each member of the AI2 Team. Some highlights are :

• We are a learning organization - because everything AI2 does is ground-breaking, we are learning every day. Similarly, through weekly AI2 Academy lectures, a wide variety of world-class AI experts as guest speakers, and our commitment to your personal on-going education, AI2 is place where you will have opportunities to continue learning alongside your coworkers.
• We value diversity - We seek to hire, support, and promote people from all genders, ethnicities, and all levels of experience regardless of age. We particularly encourage applications from women, non-binary individuals, people of color, members of the LGBTQA+ community, and people with disabilities of any kind.
• We value inclusion - We understand the value that peoples individual experiences and perspectives can bring to an organization, and we are building a culture in which all voices are heard, respected and considered.
• We emphasize a healthy work / life balance - we believe our team members are happiest and most productive when their work / life balance is optimized. While we value powerful research results which drive our mission forward, we also value dinner with family, weekend time, and vacation time. We offer generous paid vacation and sick leave as well as family leave.
• We are collaborative and transparent - we consider ourselves a team, all moving with a common purpose. We are quick to cheer our successes, and even quicker to share and jointly problem solve our failures.
• We are in Seattle - and our office is on the water! We have mountains, we have lakes, we have four seasons, we bike to work, we have a vibrant theater scene, and we have so much else. We even have kayaks for you to paddle right outside our front door. We welcome interest from applicants from outside of the United States.
• We are friendly - chances are you will like every one of the 100+ (and growing) people who work here. We do.

AI2 is proud to be an Equal Opportunity employer. We do not discriminate based upon race, religion, color, national origin, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, transgender status, sexual stereotypes, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.
