Senior Full Stack Engineer, Python

About Orita

Direct-to-consumer brands pay us, in order to market less.

Well, technically, they pay us to market more effectively. And, strangely (!), that often means marketing a lot less.

How? We use a lot of math and a lot of machine learning to decide which people on their subscriber lists actually want to hear from them right now.

When you do this, two things happen. Brands save a ton of money. And their deliverability improves (hello inbox, goodbye spam filter!).

Fewer messages sent + higher chance they will be seen = ROI goes way up.

Sounds simple, right? Well, it’s not. You try getting marketers to be less market-y. It’s way easier to “play it safe” and email everyone all the time. Our math has to be that good.

But you said there would be math. Yes. We said there would be math.

And that’s where you come in. We need people with amazing neural networks in their heads to help program our artificial ones. You’ll be one of the founding members of our machine learning team. You’ll have a huge impact on our product, our culture, and building something great from the ground up. It will be a lot of fun.

You will be on a team of engineers, reporting to our CTO Zack (he has a Master’s in CS from Georgia Tech) and working closely with our CEO and Head of Product Daniel (he has a PhD in Neurobiology and has built data science teams for a decade).

As a Full Stack Engineer, you will:

• Design, implement, test, deploy, and iterate on end-to-end features in our products covering both frontend and backend

• Produce clean and well-structured code with detailed specifications and documentation
