Full-Time Senior Software Engineer (R Programmer)

Recast – Posted by RecastAsh Anywhere

Job Description

We’re hiring a senior software engineer to help us build the future of media measurement.

As a senior software engineer, you’ll be working with a team of other software engineers, data scientists, and statisticians to bring a totally new type of software product to market. Recast is operating at the frontier of what a software product can be and we need sophisticated software engineers that can help us push the R language to its limits.

Why join us?

Recast is an R-first company and we run R in production. Lots of R. Our core product requires running massive machine-learning / model-fitting code on remote servers, storing and managing metadata and results in S3, and processing data on-the-fly via R code running on remote servers accessible via APIs. All that is to say: we are serious software engineers using R for serious software engineering, not just academic or research projects.
You’ll get to join a team of academics putting cutting-edge research into production for commercial uses. We are pushing the limits of what’s possible with computational statistics in general and R in particular. Our customers are managing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of advertising budgets via our platform, and your work will have an impact.

What you’ll do in your first 6 months:

  • Develop a database backend for tracking complex job metadata
  • Work with data scientists to “productize” independent analyses into things that work seamlessly for all customers
  • Help develop end-to-end test suites for our complex serverless and multi-language infrastructure

Things you probably have experience in:

  • Deep understanding of R, including object-oriented frameworks
  • Developing and managing CRAN-quality packages
  • Using R in “production” environments
  • CI/CD and complex testing environments

Things that should excite you that might scare off other folks:

  • Working with complex serverless infrastructure
  • Taking data scientists complex analyses and turning them into well-tested production code
  • Working independently on a very complex codebase with inconsistent test coverage

What we offer you:

  • Work wherever you’re happiest. We’re fully remote
  • Competitive remote salary along with early stage equity
  • Your local holidays plus unlimited PTO (minimum 2 weeks mandatory PTO!)
  • Minimal standing meetings with frequent collaboration and async by design
  • Autonomy and support to do your best work in your own time

Note: Recast is committed to building a diverse team so if you are from an under-represented background in tech (e.g., women, non-white, etc.) please apply even if you don’t necessarily check all of the boxes here.

While Recast is officially based in the US, we’re a fully remote team (one founder lives in Brooklyn, the other in Mexico City with team members across the world).

Lastly, even if you meet only some of the experience requirements do give it a shot. We would love to meet with you and chat about how your goals/journey.
