ABOUT THE TEAM

Our small platform team is the powerhouse of the company and the role that our team plays is truly unique. The team is brilliant: A PhD in physics from Harvard, the first person to hack the MacOS and boot up windows on it, ex-Apple project managers, PhD’s in statistics, among many other talented people. This is a place of immense resources and growth potential. Our Engineering team talks about topics like what it means to be conscious, or how genes are just an algorithm, so what does it mean to “be”.

In addition, we’re a video games company, which means it’s a very chill workspace, and we can try some really new, wild experiments quickly...without the fear of blowing up a rocket on the launch site.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Interested in Machine learning, but more importantly want to get things released, not be stuck in the research stage for another 2 years?

Want to get your hard work out and live into the hands of over 10 million people? Played on a daily basis on Auto-tuned levels utilizing Bayesian analytics and neural networks?

Ready to do some ridiculously cool stuff that people talk about in white papers, but is only actually being applied in a few spots around the world?

We are looking for an exceptional Senior Platform Engineer to join our San Francisco team! We have fun here, and we are looking for a like-minded, highly talented engineer to join the team as we ramp up our efforts in a variety of really cool initiatives, of which you could take ownership.
