Software Development Engineer (ML) -- Contractor
We’re looking to hire a Software Development Engineer (ML) on an independent contractor basis. Titles can be arbitrary, so you should consider yourself a good fit for this if:
-
You enjoy solving hard technical problems at scale, for real business impact.
-
You’re comfortable proposing end-to-end technical architectures that balance modularity, scalability, operations, security, and cost.
-
You’re fluent in the AWS stack. This does not mean you understand every AWS service or that you have an AWS certification, but it does mean that you could independently design and build a distributed API within AWS that reflects modern best practices.
-
You understand that clarity and simplicity -- in code and in communication -- are worth striving for.
-
You have at least a passing familiarity with machine learning, and an interest in developing your skills there.
As a distributed team, some key qualities are particularly important for all of us at Hop Labs:
-
A strong sense of ownership and initiative
-
Clear and consistent communication
-
A collaborative mindset
-
Clear thinking and attention to detail for complex projects
-
Comfort with operating independently as well as part of a small, targeted team
For this role specifically:
-
Open to all backgrounds, though machine-learning background preferred
-
Intermediate to senior level
-
Location: remote within the U.S.
If this role sounds like a good fit for you, please reach out! We’ve made an effort to create a hiring process that is low-pressure, skills-focused, and compatible with the other commitments in your life.
