Golang Job Details

Who are we:


We create products people once could not have imagined – and now, we can't imagine living without. We bring together the best of machine learning, software engineering, and user experience design. We are building computer vision that doesn't fail and our mission critical approach allows us to bring together cutting-edge AI insights and puts reliability at the core of computer vision development.


Before starting Lakera, we have built massively complex software at Google, developed safety-critical AI across industries, and helped the EU define what it means to regulate AI. Our team consists of multidisciplinary and experienced entrepreneurs, engineers, and scientists with MSc’s and PhD’s from the world’s leading institutions (University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, Max-Planck Institute, Ponts ParisTech).


Your day-to-day responsibilities:


  • Design and implement Lakera’s core product features in close collaboration with the founding team.
  • Find pragmatic solutions to complex algorithmic problems.
  • Strike a balance between scalable code design and development speed. Shipping fast is key.
  • Contribute to shipping new features and improvements to our products.
  • Scale our existing software stack and algorithms to serve the most demanding use-cases.
  • Help maintain Lakera’s DevOps stack to continuously improve our own development practices.
  • Support the team in establishing a stable, high quality and flexible software engineering process.

About you:


None of these are strict requirements but do illustrate what type of people would be most effective at Lakera right now. Ideally you:


  • 4+ years of experience or had exceptional impact at the organizational level in developing production-level code across a variety of technologies;
  • Experience in building up or leading teams while contributing to the core tech;
  • Familiar with production level Python, C++, Golang or another interesting set of programming languages;
  • Strong sense for product/customer needs;
  • Enjoy working on a wide range of algorithmic problems and designing efficient software systems;
  • Frequent contributor to open-source projects and an active participant in open-source communities;
  • Productive by yourself as you solve abstract problems independently and produce results without constant supervision;
  • Pragmatism, enjoy taking ownership, being hands-on, and getting things done while being mindful of our longer-term vision;
  • Excited about a front-row seat in a fast growing, early-stage company (a rapidly changing, often ambiguous and undefined environment);
  • Interest in AI safety and ethics.
