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.

What you'll do in your first 6 months:

Partner with the data science team to take complex analyses and visualizations and put them into live production systems our customers can use
Collaborate with the AWS infrastructure team to build robust tooling and workflows that allow data scientists to operate the Recast platform
Work with our app team to develop performant and scalable solutions that put statistical concepts into the hands of users

Things you probably have experience in:

Deep understanding of R, including S3 and R6
Developing and managing CRAN-quality packages
Using R in production cloud environments
CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-code tools and platforms
Automated testing of various types

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

Working with serverless infrastructure
Building frameworks to support data scientists in turning complex analyses into well-tested productionized code
Working independently on a very complex codebase without full test coverage
Being a part of the process in determining what a product should do for end users and how to measure product success

Familiarity with the following would be nice to have, but aren’t required:

Plotly
Kubernetes
Terraform
Javascript
DDL and DML with OLTP databases

What we offer you:

Work wherever you’re happiest. We're fully remote
Competitive remote salary along with early-stage equity
Highly skilled coworkers you can learn from and who are eager to learn from you
An async-first culture with a focus on documentation over standing meetings
Autonomy and support to do your best work in your own time
Your local holidays plus unmetered PTO (minimum 2 weeks mandatory PTO!)

Note: Recast is committed to building a diverse team so if you are from an under-represented background in tech (e.g., women, BIPOC, 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 and team members in 6+ countries around the world).

If this sounds interesting to you, we'd love to learn more about you!

Please note salary ranges are estimated for US-based employees. Candidates from other geographies may have the salary range adjusted based on their local markets.
