ABOUT US:

Braintrust (usebraintrust.com) is a user-controlled talent network, where you keep 100% of what you earn and actually get to own the platform. We've been onboarding some big clients and specifically need a Solution Engineer for our client.  

About the Company

Our client is an independent group of select scientists, engineers, and inventors that advises companies and governments on science and technology for both humanitarian and commercial applications.

About the Role

We are building a scientific computing platform in the cloud. This is a great stretch opportunity for experienced software engineer to develop their machine learning and data science skills. You will have a key role in building a highly visible product that is technically challenging and technologically novel.

Requirements

1. Python
2. Machine learning (can be informal experience) 

Nice to Have

1. TensorFlow (we don’t use TensorFlow but our product offers a similar compute-graph-based API)
2. Rust
3. DevOps
4. C++ (we don’t use C++ but familiarity with C++ development is helpful)
5. Scientific computing
6. Physics or chemistry background
7. Distributed computing  (esp. blockchain-based)

Deliverables

1. Implement Adam optimizer for TinyChain
2. Profile a service backend implemented in Rust (e.g. using perf or Valgrind)
3. Design & implement a model deployment workflow, i.e. how a new ML model is trained, safely deployed to production, and upgraded to a newer version

Our Ideal Candidate

An ideal candidate is open-minded, enjoys exploring new problems that may never have been solved before, thrives in ambiguity, communicates proactively when they need help or clarification of any kind, and is not afraid to ask dumb questions.

ABOUT THE HIRING PROCESS:

Qualified candidates will be invited to do a screening interview with the Braintrust staff. We will answer your questions about the project, and our platform.  If we determine it is the right fit for both parties, we'll invite you to join the platform and create a profile to apply directly for this project.  

C2C Candidates: This role is not available to C2C candidates working with an agency. If you are a professional contractor who has created an LLC/corp around their consulting practice, this is well aligned with Braintrust and we’d welcome your application.  

Braintrust values the multitude of talents and perspectives that a diverse workforce brings. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, national origin, religion, age, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or protected veteran status.
