Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Front-End Leaning

Senior Full-Stack Engineer (Front-End Leaning)

Join to apply for the Senior Full-Stack Engineer (Front-End Leaning) role at Encord.

About Encord: The success of any machine learning system relies on the quality of its training data, but building high quality datasets is too slow and too expensive. Encord is building the infrastructure to solve this problem. Our platform handles the indexing, curation and annotation of huge datasets, so that our customers can efficiently build datasets, train models, and deploy their AI systems.

As AI models become more powerful and capable, they can create more economic value by handling increasingly complex tasks but only if they are suitably directed by human feedback. Expertly annotated data is the best way to do this, and Encord is well positioned to take advantage of a market which is growing extremely fast.

We are an ambitious team of 90+ working at the frontier of multi-modal AI and backed by $30M in Series B funding from top investors like CRV and Y Combinator. We have big plans ahead and are looking to rapidly expand our Engineering team over the course of this year.

Who You Are

We’re looking for great engineers with experience in building complex UIs, to help build out our editor interface. This is the part of our product that lets users visualise and annotate their data. We handle a wide range of data modalities, such as image, video, audio, text, PDFs, medical images, as well as from LIDAR and other sensors in robots and autonomous vehicles. For this role, we are particularly looking for engineers who are excited about technically challenging front-end work, such as rendering complex 3D/4D scenes with thousands of objects, combining data from several modalities, all while maintaining high performance in the browser.

You’ll join us at a crucial stage of accelerated development for the company, product and team. As part of a small, highly collaborative group, you’ll be a key driver of progress on a core part of our product. You will operate with high degrees of autonomy and be expected to craft performant, reliable and maintainable solutions to challenging problems - both technical and product.

What To Expect

• High performing team: You’ll join the small team that has built a product that our customers love. Members of the team are veterans of both established companies and successful startups. While the team is more than a sum of its parts, every member is impressive in their own right.
• Impact: Your work will have direct and tangible impact for customers and in turn noticeably affect the trajectory of the company.
• End-to-end ownership: You will be entrusted with end-to-end ownership of your projects. From product, design and architectural decisions, all the way to deployment, monitoring and measuring impact on users. You will work across the stack, covering everything from deployment to styling. We expect each other to take initiative, be proactive in problem-solving, and continuously seek improvements.
• Autonomy and collaboration: You will often work autonomously to take charge of your projects, make decisions, and drive your work forward. But as a lean and high trust team, we remain quick to collaborate and support each other with challenging problems together.
• Scale and simplicity: You will tackle complex domains and immense scale with simple solutions. You\'ll leverage your expertise to solve challenging problems in simple ways.

About You

• Are experienced: You have seen a lot and built a lot. You have personally developed and maintained multiple systems from scratch and you know what trade offs are involved in building reliable, performant software at speed.
• Seek high impact: You want your work to have a tangible outcome for people. You\'re not satisfied when building products that do not see the light of day or move a number by a tenth of a percent.
• Are a builder: You enjoy all aspects of building not only software but a complete product and are comfortable moving across the stack when necessary. You enjoy problem solving and thinking from first principles. You’re ready to pick up new skills and build quickly.
• Are comfortable with uncertainty: You\'re happy to tackle problems without a predefined clear definition or obvious solution, and are excited to have autonomy to make decisions as you go.
• Are a team player: You understand that being a member of a high-performing team requires two things. You contribute your best work. You also help others contribute their best. You enjoy lending a helping hand when needed and leveling up those around you.
