Companies you'll love to work for

Sorcero is currently seeking a Software Engineer, NLP (or what we like to call an Apprentice AI Wizard) to help lead the buildout of our Artificial Intelligence & Natural Language Processing stack and knowledge platform and support our CTO, Walter Bender, on shipping our AI contextualization and optimization engine. You will work with our in-house and contracted platform development team, and work with our technology team to build a ground-breaking knowledge platform.

We are looking for an engineer as passionate as we are about transforming how learning is delivered and employment success is achieved. Not to be negative, but don’t waste your time if: ● you just want to apply off-the-shelf AI tools to existing data sets; ● you’ve never tried to read the code of an application or library to either (a) fix it or (b) understand how it did something;

Responsibilities As our Software Engineer, AI & NLP, you will be responsible for building our knowledge and learning platform, integrations with major software services, and development of advanced capability modules or service level applications.

Managing source-code version control discipline (Git) and overseeing code delivery into our projects, testing, and deployment. We are looking for someone with strong engineering discipline and a pragmatic focus on delivering functional code, not allegiance to any one language.

We value creativity, the hacker ethos, the near-obsessive focus on building something that will make the future come a bit closer into focus, and disciplined team leadership.

This role will report to the CTO and will be based in the Eastern Corridor (preferably Washington, DC area or Boston, MA area).

We are offering a competitive base salary/benefits package and equity.
