Role
Who you are
- A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Math or a related field. Talented engineers without a degree but with demonstrable expertise will also be considered
- 6+ years of software development experience, preferably in a high-growth startup environment
- Very strong understanding of SQL and database performance. We do very complex AI-created queries, and need deep expertise in thinking in SQL to help optimize the query generation. Experience with Spark as well is a plus
- Strong Python experience. Rust experience or enthusiasm is a plus
- Ruby experience is also a plus, though you will be largely focused on the Python code
- Comfort with modern software development tools and practices, such as Git, Agile methodologies, and continuous integration/deployment
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work well in a collaborative team environment
- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to articulate complex ideas clearly and effectively
- A passion for learning, growing, and staying current with emerging technologies
What the job involves
- Unsupervised is seeking a Python Software Engineer to join our innovative team
- This is an exciting role for a talented software engineer looking for a high-impact position at a growing company
- You'll be a crucial member of our engineering team working on enabling our unique AI to interact with data in new and creative ways
- Many companies lightly wrap LLM APIs and call it AI; Unsupervised has true depth in the space
- If you want to be part of real innovation in the AI space and you have the drive and talent to be successful, this is the role for you
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and maintain scalable and efficient software solutions
- Contribute to all phases of the software development lifecycle, from ideation to deployment and maintenance
- Think about complex computations in abstract terms and come up with smarter ways to turn those abstact computations into sequences SQL queries that databases can handle (our AI can overwhelm most databases without thoughtful code)
- Write high-quality, maintainable, and testable code, adhering to best practices and coding standards
- Participate in code reviews, providing and receiving constructive feedback to improve overall code quality
- Continuously learn and adapt to new technologies and methodologies to stay up-to-date with industry trends
Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
The vast range of business datasets presents a seemingly infinite potential for companies to analyze and optimize their development and revenue, but the mass of data is becoming unmanageable. Organizing these data sets into actionable insights is a time-consuming process, and attempts to be economic with these efforts often leave essential datasets remaining underused.
Unsupervised leverages AI to automatically analyze raw and structured datasets, providing business insights that account for all available information. The company claims that these management services reduce the amount of data that is left unused, identifying potential opportunities for efficiency based on analytic and insight history.
Many big-data startups aim to reduce analysis workloads when working with chaotic datasets, but Unsupervised are approaching this from a unique angle by identifying how data could be used more effectively. By tackling all datasets automatically through an AI-driven autonomous platform, the company aims to squeeze as much insight from all available information, preventing the need for prioritization of more manageable datasets.
