Job Description

“I want to spend hours slicing and dicing my data just to know how my key metrics move!”, said no one ever. Sisu is using sophisticated machine learning algorithms to free up countless hours of users’ time in understanding why their metrics are changing. Based on years of cutting-edge research at Stanford, our software platform enables users to quickly and comprehensively understand what’s driving their key metrics, so they never miss a window of opportunity to act.

Sisu is a fundamental rearchitecture of how users interact with data. Instead of relying on users to tell us what they want to see, as in traditional dashboarding systems, Sisu predicts users’ intent based on their metrics of interest, and past behaviors. We take this kind of predictive analysis for granted in consumer applications (e.g., Netflix, Google, Facebook), but the hardest interface design and ranking problems lie in making private data found in everyday organizations actionable. The key problem we’re solving as a first step in this direction is to help identify what’s driving change in key metrics like revenue, retention, and churn among the enormous set of factors like user demographics, campaigns, and acquisition channels. To do so, we combine statistical analysis and machine learning at scale to provide users personalized, real-time diagnoses of changes in their metrics via an explainable, interpretable user interface.

As a Core Engine Engineering Manager at Sisu, you will be responsible for building and maintaining the most critical piece of technology that executes ML analyses at scale. You will be responsible for scaling this technology 100x, improving performance and efficiency as well as providing stability for the rest of the platform. You will be supporting a team of very senior engineers who are experts in database design and distributed systems.

• 7+ Years of Engineering experience (at least 3+ years) managing 5+ engineersExperience in database internals and distributed systems
• Expertise with Rust, or other backend languages 
• Excellent communication skills for collaborating internally with partner teams and externally with our customers and end users
• Capable of coaching team members, by translating complex nuances related to the languages and libraries we use, in easy to understand terms

Compensation and Benefits:
