Why a CV for this job?

94% of employers say their filters drop qualified candidates whose CV does not match the ad's exact criteria (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
  • It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
  • In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
  • Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

About the role

We're looking for a software engineer who loves to build high performance data processing systems. Our customers are scaled up companies who send complex, semi-structured data which they need to process and analyze in real-time. Our unique architecture allows them to store this data on-prem, while creating complex visualizations that load instantly. Check out our Brainstore blog post.

If you've worked on database systems, compilers, networks, or storage systems, and want to translate this knowledge to the AI field, this could be the role for you. You will play a significant role in the foundational system architecture, technology choices, and implementation. Our founding team has deep expertise in database and ML systems, and you'll be empowered to both collaborate closely with them and explore your own ideas.
