Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's also telling that a mid-level Engineering role makes you step through this many hoops for $80K/yr. Or that the refer to that as "market rate".

While also slipping "on-call support" in there too

For what it's worth: The on-call support role is a 1-week obligation that rotates between all of the engineers on the team. As our sixth engineer, each engineer would only be on-call once every 6 weeks.

The role itself consist of being the:

- primary PagerDuty contact for server and application alerts and errors,

- primary contact for our dedicated support team to ask questions and triage new issues,

- primary code reviewer

Note that we do have a dedicated support team that answers emails and calls from our customer base. The on-call engineer is not responsible for that.

> Interview Process: It is nice to see interview process spelled out in exact steps, it speaks for company clarity culture and it will unwind cognitive load on the candidate .. Google docs job desc is nice add-on to give job details instead of all pasting in job post

It's also telling that a mid-level Engineering role makes you step through this many hoops for $80K/yr. Or that the refer to that as "market rate".

For us, $80k is regarded as the entry-level starting base. A mid-level that makes it through our process has a much higher starting base.

SigOpt | San Francisco, CA.

Machine Learning Evangelist: Full time, Onsite

Be the public face of machine learning optimization.

Built by data scientists for data scientists, SigOpt’s Optimization Platform is fundamentally changing the way models are tuned. For machine learning models in particular, this represents an opportunity to make optimization better, cheaper, and faster.

But machine learning is noisy, so we need a Machine Learning Evangelist to be our signal. As the public face of optimization, you will be the advocate for data scientists who deserve a better way to tune and an expert ambassador to constituencies that stretch across industry and academia. With an optimization first and SigOpt second attitude, your efforts will spread the tuning gospel and build a community of users that push the envelope on its potential.

Responsibilities: -Nurture a machine learning community by producing and presenting technical content, whether in the form of blog posts, whitepapers, trainings, videos, or otherwise -Enable leading machine learning partners to tell the optimization story, and collaborate with them at live events, conferences, and in online forums -Earn speaking roles at conferences, meetups, and other live events to build momentum for optimization and its technical potential -Engage machine learning and artificial intelligence oriented communities early and often to build relationships, familiarity, and support for optimization as a critical part of AI/ML

You are: -A quick study, who builds on 2-5 years of technical machine learning experience to translate complex subjects into concise explanations -A student of AI/ML who has a technical degree and a proficiency in computer science, machine learning, and the technology stack that enables it -As comfortable speaking in front of a room of a hundred as penning a blog that nails a critical point. -Driven to start and build something -Frequently caught reading and engaging too much in AI/ML banter
