We are looking for experienced software developers who will be technical visionaries, architects, and mentors on our team. You’ll get an opportunity to guide the team as it builds new software and frameworks from scratch, which will range from beautiful customer-facing applications to highly scalable distributed workflows and AI decision systems.

* You are an experienced senior developer with a proven track record of leading architecture and development of complex large-scale software systems * You are a developer who thinks like an end user, who knows that 90% done is only half done, and who can build rock-solid code that will withstand millions of users hammering on it. * You are passionate about inventing and applying AI techniques to automate tasks that are currently performed by humans. * You love beautiful, simple user interfaces, and you constantly wonder what you could have done to make your last project simpler. * You love working with a smart, talented team because you know that makes you better. * When you disagree, you disagree constructively, with respect for everyone else's opinions and ideas. * More than anything, you share a passion for our mission to radically change the way people make one of the biggest decisions of their lives. **Technologies we use and teach** * Great engineers want to work on emerging technologies. Our website and mobile apps are built with Java, Spring, JSP, Postgres, Hadoop, Hibernate, HTML, CSS, JS, React, Objective-C, Swift, and various other tools/libraries. In production we run on Linux. On our desktops we mostly run Mac and Windows, but some opt for Linux. We use Eclipse, Maven, Git and Bamboo.
