What the job involves
- Contribute to Spice.ai OSS

- Build high-performance and scalable data and machine learning architecture to meet the evolution and needs of a rapidly growing platform
- Grow your career with a team of experienced engineers, using the latest technologies like Apache DataFusion, Apache Arrow, and DuckDB, to create the modern data and AI platform for developers
- Your First 90 Days:
- Days 0-30: ramp up and contribute improvements to Spice.ai OSS and the Spice.ai Cloud Platform
- Days 31-60: co-design and implement a major feature
- Days 61-90: take technical and engineering ownership of a major initiative or area
Our take
Integrating AI and machine learning into applications remains tricky for developers. In spite of remarkable developments in both fields, a general skills gap means they’re not broadly deployed in the design of intelligent software. This looks likely to become a real pain point going forward, as demand for truly intelligent systems is on the rise - which is why Spice AI is developing a platform to help remedy this.
The company's platform consists of an open source decision engine and pooled ‘ML-ready’ data. In short, this allows professional developers to build machine learning and AI into their software. The platform also comes with ready-made ML building blocks available through Spicerack.
Funding for Spice AI comes from impressive players, like senior executives at GitHub and Microsoft Azure, as well as major VC firms like Madrona Venture Group and Founders’ Co-Op. This indicates strong confidence in the company's mission to help the AI software market reach its anticipated multi-billion dollar stature over the years ahead.
