About the job
About Element HumanOur vision is to bring empathy to digital interactions. Emotions make us human. Technology doesn’t account for human emotions. We’re going to change that.Element Human believes in a world where people are first, always. We are a multi-disciplinary team using AI to build the emotion layer for the internet so that people and companies can build deeper, higher quality relationships that improve lives.Today, we work with creators, agencies, brands, platforms to measure what their audience thinks, feels, and says. We do this using a combination of biometric data, implicit association tests, attention measures, survey responses, and emotion modeling. This creates a rich tapestry of human derived data to machine learn against and glean insights from.RoleWe are looking for a Data & Infrastructure Engineer as an integral part of our Product and Engineering team (title flexible if that’s important). This role is a hybrid between DevOps and Data Engineering - you’ll do some of both. If that sounds like an exciting way to flex your cognitive muscles, read on.You won’t be the first to touch these parts of our stack, but you will be the first in this role. We’ve hacked away at these areas for a while, have made modest progress, and are ready to take things up a notch (or several if that’s your style).Our product is a data product and you will be at its nucleus. Oversimplified, we encode, process, and model biometric and survey data. Managing and optimizing this process E2E is your remit. We’re currently migrating our pipelines to use Beam/DataFlow with a BigQuery sink and shifting our DB from Postgres to BigQuery. From there, we have lots of value to extract from our existing data, lots of demand for enhanced modeling, and a unique dataset to learn against.We’re solving a hard problem and our cloud infrastructure is a complex garden that needs tending to. Here you’ll deploy and maintain new services, continuously improve our CI/CD flow, track and debug issues throughout our stack. We have stable and performant delivery. Now, we need to decouple and modularize the components, increasing the resiliency and flexibility of our system. In other words, we’re renovating and want you to help us do it. Oh - also, we do have technical debt that we’ll need to manage and pay off.This role is a glue type role, plugging current gaps we have and operating at the nexus of our product/team. The salary for this role is anticipated to be between $100-145K(+equity), with the actual amount influenced by factors such as technical ability, experience, and cultural fit.What You'll Do In a Nutshell
