We're hiring a senior software engineer to help us build the future of marketing measurement and planning.
What you'll do in your first 6 months:
- Partner with the data science team to take complex analyses and visualizations and put them into live production systems our customers can use
- Collaborate with the AWS infrastructure team to build robust tooling and workflows that allow data scientists to operate the Recast platform
- Work with our app team to develop performant and scalable solutions that put statistical concepts into the hands of users
Things you probably have experience in:
- Deep understanding of R, including S3 and R6
- Developing and managing CRAN-quality packages
- Using R in “production” cloud environments
- CI/CD and complex testing environments
Things that should excite you that might scare off other folks:
- Working with serverless infrastructure
- Building frameworks to support data scientists in turning complex analyses into well-tested productionized code
- Working independently on a very complex codebase without full test coverage
Familiarity with the following would be nice to have, but aren’t required:
- Plotly
- Shiny
- Kubernetes
- Terraform
- Javascript
- DDL and DML with OLTP databases
What we offer you:
- Work wherever you’re happiest. We're fully remote
- Competitive remote salary along with early-stage equity
- Highly skilled coworkers you can learn from and who are eager to learn from you
- An async-first culture with a focus on documentation over standing meetings
- Autonomy and support to do your best work in your own time
- Your local holidays plus unmetered PTO (minimum 2 weeks mandatory PTO!)
As a senior software engineer, you’ll be working with a team of other software engineers, data scientists, and statisticians to bring a totally new type of software product to market. Recast is operating at the frontier of what a software product can be and we need sophisticated software engineers that can help us push the R language to its limits.
Note: Recast is committed to building a diverse team so if you are from an under-represented background in tech (e.g., women, non-white, etc.) please apply even if you don’t necessarily check all of the boxes here.
While Recast is officially based in the US, we're a fully remote team (one founder lives in Brooklyn, the other in Mexico City with team members in 6+ countries around the world).
If this sounds interesting to you, we'd love to learn more about you! If you have examples of contributions to publicly available and widely used R packages, we highly value that so please make sure to include it in your application!
Top Skills
What We Do
Recast is building the world’s most rigorous MMM platform. Here's how we're different:
1. We take accuracy (really) seriously.
From configuration, to stability checks, to parameter recovery exercises, to ongoing backtests – the Recast process holds every model to an incredibly high performance standard before and after delivery.
2. We don’t hide anything.
At Recast, we turn the black box into a glass box. We show uncertainty for all point estimates, send weekly model accuracy scorecards and publish all model docs openly. It helps our clients build trust in their models and hold us accountable as their vendor.
3. We’re obsessed with model quality.
More than 30% of the Recast team holds a PhD in math or statistics. Our research into upper & lower funnel channel interaction, time-varying ROIs, spike modeling, and more, continues to improve Recast's proprietary media mix model.
