About Alpaca
Alpaca is a fast-growing team of ML researchers and engineers focused on building next-generation creative tools powered by generative models. We want to build out the medium for a seamless and expressive interaction space between users and models while fundamentally rethinking the way in which creative work can be done. We’re excited about pushing new frontiers in research and design, shipping features that look and feel like magic, and fostering a dynamic community around our work.
About the role
We’re looking for a full-stack software engineer to develop brand new experiences for our users.
You will be working with the rest of the team to bring the latest advances in machine learning to our user base of Artists. You will have the opportunity to help drive the decisions on which features would bring most values to our users as well as helping shape what the user experience experience should look like to bring those novel tools to life.
What you’ll do:
- Build & ship end-to-end features that span
- Our plugin and web app (Typescript + React)
- Our API (Typescript) & Database (Postgres)
- Our cloud infrastracture
- And optionally our machine learning runtime (Python + Pytorch)
- Contribute to ensuring the code base is maintainable and that we can be productive working in it through refactoring and bringing best practices to the team
What you’ll need:
- 5+ years of experience working as full-stack engineer or in various roles along the stack.
- Track record of seeing impactful projects through to completion
- An interest in developing a deep understanding of our users and what bringing value to them means.
- Proficiency at working in self-directed environments and is adept at conceptualizing and implementing solutions without granular task breakdowns. Ideal candidates are proactive and able to navigate projects with a high degree of autonomy. This does not mean you will be working alone, but that you will be responsible for finding and implementing the best solution for a given problem.
