Lustre provides incredibly reliable product recommendations to help people choose what to buy. One of the most critical components in our system is the knowledge graph that processes our scraped data and transforms it into highly structured and contextualized input to our neural net. We are hiring software engineers for our knowledge graph. You don't need any ML or graph database experience, we're mostly looking for strong backend generalists. Some examples of the type of tasks you'll be doing:

* Automatically process massive amounts of structured data.

* Understand the context of the information to create useful connections to aid in predicting the best products.

* Research and implement new traversals of our knowledge graph to gain more leverage from our data.

* Communicate with the machine learning team to get them the data they need for improving recommendations.

* Implement API routes for serving knowledge graph data to the frontend.

* Write and maintain thorough unit and integration tests.

An ideal candidate will:

* Be a capable problem solver who enjoys identifying business problems you can solve with thoughtful engineering

* Have 4+ years experience building out backend services (bonus points for ops knowledge).

* Enjoy digging through data to solve problems and find new optimizations.

* Have strong communication skills - this role will work with both the product & ML teams to understand their problems/goals

Email me at stuart@lustre.ai if interested.

Altus Assessments | https://altusassessments.com/careers/ | Canada | Full Time | Remote(EST ±3)

Altus empowers higher education institutions to look beyond book smarts, and to identify and nurture exceptional professionals by using unique data to generate meaningful insight that influence key academic decisions.

We’re a quirky, vibrant, and diverse group of 60+ working collaboratively to tackle some tough problems (like how to evaluate empathy in someone who wants to train to become a doctor), and some less tough ones (like how to answer that bonus question on Trivia Night).

We're a team of 11 developers working across several Javascript focused stacks. You'll have the chance to work with a range of different problems and hopefully learn some new skills too. During product development you'll be able to focus on implementation of the feature from start to finish. If that involves making database changes or spinning up a service on AWS you'll have the freedom to do so.

We’re hiring across a number of open positions:

Software Developer (Intermediate & Seniors) - We have a few dev teams hiring. https://apply.workable.com/altus-assessments/j/9706468867/

Director of Engineering - https://apply.workable.com/altus-assessments/j/FA01C7CEDC/

Platform Product Manager - https://apply.workable.com/altus-assessments/j/3304D221EE/

Senior QA (Quality Assurance) Engineer - https://apply.workable.com/altus-assessments/j/123D7B8FDA/

We don't have a public posting for this role but if you're a DevOps focused individual please do reach out. Ideally looking for someone that has experience with scale, comfortable with leading discussions, and taking ownership on decision making for cloud related decisions. We have some interesting (IMO) problems as we're growing quickly and so is our cloud presence!

If you want to know more about our team culture or have questions about these roles feel free to email me at gguja [at] altusassessments.com or apply directly.

We don't do white boarding/puzzle questions as part of the interview process, however we do ask applicants that pass the phone screen to make a presentation on how you would approach a system design problem.
