Job Description

Data Science problems are everywhere, but the talent is not. At Obviously AI, our vision is to turn every company into an AI company. We do this by providing businesses with access to world class, on-demand data science talent that helps them solve real business problems. On the back end, we empower data scientists with a set of internal groundbreaking tools to help them deliver results in minutes, not months.

We’re a small, scrappy group of people with a strong bent toward failing fast, bias for action and attention to detail. We’re focused on doing the best work of our lives and believe in having a healthy separation of work and life. We keep working hours flexible and are building a hybrid team with most of us located in San Francisco, CA and others working remotely around the world.

Obviously AI is backed by some of the top venture capital firms in the US, and you’ll be on the ground floor of a fast-growing company with a big mission.

About You

As a full-stack engineer, you will be on the ground floor of an incredible opportunity to pair your software engineering mastery with industry’s key and critical business challenges. Obviously AI is currently used by several companies across the globe and our users deeply love the speed, reliability and customer care that we provide.

You will have no shortage of interesting and exciting engineering challenges that, when solved, can transform entire businesses around the world.

Our ideal candidate for this role is someone who really wants to get their hands dirty in a small, scrappy team. You should be excited about the idea of solving different engineering and big data challenges everyday and leading with a lot of autonomy and agency. You'll report directly to the founders and be a key proponent of Obviously AI’s early success.

• While not an expert in machine learning or artificial intelligence, you are always curious to learn more and regularly keep up to speed with the latest developments in the industry.
• You possess the personality to easily connect and become familiar with new people.
• You work collaboratively but autonomously: asking for what you need, but not expecting micromanagement.
• You like processes and want to help build it, but you're also OK with the organized chaos of a small team.
• You're excited to build a career at an energetic startup, with an eagerness to learn and develop your skill set across a wide range of activities.
• You're comfortable communicating new ideas and experimenting without fear of failure.
• You're able to pick up new skills quickly, and adapt well to feedback on your work.
