Company mission
To augment human intelligence by redefining the way we remember, discover, and create knowledge.
Role
Who you are
- We're looking for experienced people who can pick a problem and solve it, even if they don't have a background in everything we use
What the job involves
- Design and develop scalable, high-performance, and reliable backend systems for processing, storing, and efficiently traversing large amounts of data for Mem's knowledge graph
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (the full-stack product engineering team and our UX designer) to define and implement product features that leverage the knowledge graph
- Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to improve code quality
- Debug and resolve complex issues related to knowledge graph construction and management in a timely manner
- Stay up-to-date with emerging trends and technologies in knowledge graph construction and streaming data processing
- Mentor and coach junior engineers on best practices for building knowledge graphs using streaming data
Our take
Managing the information held by an organization has always been a huge challenge. While forms can be stored and filed, the valuable knowledge held by the individual workers in the company is often kept in notes and documents scattered around inboxes and hard drives. This information can be vital to keep projects moving forward, but is very easily lost. Enter Mem, an AI-driven note-taking tool, offering to organize the workplace and make it easy to find the information any knowledge worker needs as they need it.
Mem is not the only startup tackling the challenge of collaboratively organising information - competitors include Glean, Atlassian and Notion, each with massive valuations and large user bases. But Mem's strength in this area is that it is self-organizing, its AI solution reducing or eliminating the amount of manual work involved in managing knowledge. As language AI continues to develop, this is likely to further increase Mem's advantage over its larger rivals in this area. It has recently added AI writing and editing functions, allowing its users to augment their work with Mem's natural language generation model.
Mem is using recent investment to hire new talent and to continue its rapid product development, refining its AI model and adding new features. As AI comes into its own as a tool to augment knowledge workers' abilities, Mem should find itself in a strong place to develop into a big player in this sector.
