About The Position

We’re dedicated to speeding up the pace of innovation at manufacturing companies by automating product regulatory compliance. That frees up product and engineering teams to focus on building great products in automotive, aerospace, construction, medicine and healthcare, and more. We’re a small, focused team, and we’re proud to be supporting the development of products used by over 100 million people worldwide. We’ve raised over $6M from IA Ventures, 8VC, and other institutional investors. At Daptic, we’re building an AI platform to accelerate product development at manufacturing companies. We do that by creating NLP pipelines that identify all regulations that are relevant to any product in development, such as an electric battery or the latest level-4 autonomous driving system. As engineers, reading complex legal and regulatory documents are often the last things we want to do. What we’re building means that teams can stop poring over 1000-page PDFs via Google Translate and can instead focus entirely on building the best systems that the world needs today. In short, what you build with us will directly lead to companies launching physical products months faster than before. Daptic is seeking an experienced Staff Data Engineer to drive the development of our data and ML systems. The ideal candidate has strong experience building and launching products in a startup environment. You are ready to work with new technologies and learn whatever is needed to solve the challenges we will face. You will operate across our backend and internal services, collaborating closely with our data and ML engineers to design, implement, and maintain scalable and performant systems. We are based out of NYC, in-person, with flexibility for remote work at times. If you are not currently in NYC, we would ask you to plan to move to the city in the next few months.
