Senior Software Engineer, Data & AI Engineering (US)

Scrunch

71d • Remote

About The Position

The Scrunch product involves acquiring and processing a lot of data, both using LLMs and more traditional analytics methods. In this role you will play a huge part in successfully delivering our roadmap and ultimately in giving our customers the tools they need to succeed in the AI era.
Because we are a small organization, this is a full stack role. While most of your work will be focused on building features related to our data pipelines, usage of LLMs, analytics APIs, etc., you'll need to do whatever is necessary to deliver value to our customers. This can include some light React work but also work creating notifications, alert emails, scheduled reports, connectors into third party systems, etc.
This role is open to candidates located in and legally authorized to work in the US. Scrunch is a remote organization, but in-office or hybrid work is possible for candidates based in the NYC or Salt Lake City metro areas (and we love to jam in person from time to time!)

Requirements

• Have extensive experience building & using web APIs, including handling authentication, authorization, caching, rate limiting, etc.

• Experience with analytics tools and technologies, such as: Analytical SQL, maybe with a modern analytical data platform like Snowflake, Google BigQuery, DuckDB, Spark SQL, etc.
• Experience writing batch and streaming/interactive data processing pipelines. This could mean any of: Big data tools like Flink, Beam (GCP Dataflow), Spark, etc. Job queues and task processing frameworks (Celery, Resque, or cloud-based options like Google Cloud Tasks) Multi-step durable execution frameworks like Temporal or Inngest In-house or home-rolled versions of any of the above you've used at previous companies.
• The ability to quickly understand source data and validate output data quality
• Experience using LLMs and/or traditional ML techniques to build classifiers, data extractors, summarizers, etc.

Nice To Haves

• Experience building API for external customers is a big plus.
• Experience with analytics packages like Pandas or Polars is a plus.
• Experience with streaming analytics is a plus.
• Not required but a big plus: experience building evals for LLM-based tools to assess and improve accuracy at these kinds of tasks
