Description

What we need:

As the saying goes, "more customers, more data; more data, more problems". Or at least, that's how we remember it.
We are on the prowl for talented engineers to join our Processing team as we rethink and improve how we process millions of customer documents each week.
If any of the following makes you giggle, roll your eyes, or slam your laptop shut, we should talk:

• Distributed systems are easy, especially in the cloud
• Certainties in life: death, taxes, and customers uploading crazy things
• "It should be easy to add support for that file format" (overheard in a Sales meeting)
• The accuracy of OCR tools, especially the accuracy of OCR tools after re-OCRing.
• Parsing and generating PDFs
• A unified data model for chat application data
• Microsoft Outlook

What you'll do:

• Participate in software development processes and activities with the team
• Work cross functionally to refine requirements, plan, estimate, and deliver impactful software
• Invest in our developer experience through faster tests, better builds, and richer test data
• Expand the number and quality of file type support within our processing system
• Actively identify and advocate for opportunities to improve the performance, capacity, and reliability of our systems
• Become a subject matter expert in processing areas of expertise (data ingestion, filtering, content/metadata extraction, output creation, etc)
• Contribute to the architectural and technical vision/strategy required to achieve our mission of industry disruption
• Join forces with other engineering teams to process the vast data pulled from a growing list of external integrations
• Be an active participant in the team's production support duties
