Overview
Full-Stack Developer
Come join Reality Detector (Seer) – a deep-tech startup seed funded by Tim Draper and Draper Associates which is creating AI-powered deception and emotion detection technology to “reveal incongruent words and actions at a glance”. Our vision is to augment human understanding through technology and mission is to build a deception indicator and convince skeptics. To achieve this, we are i) augmenting and commercializing accurate behavioral science with rule-based AI and ii) automating novel automated deep-learning. Our initial product market fit is in creating cutting-edge biometrics to enhance travel across borders and protect innocents from harmful lies. The Full-Stack Developer will be working in a small team including data scientists and software developers to develop the subsequent versions of our computer vision software, especially the audio and NLP features.
Responsibilities
· Lead the frontend software development and communicate well with Computer Vision (CV) engineers. Help prototype audio features and hire audio engineer.
· Full-stack development of the backend Reality Detector engine and frontend web application, including prototyping a User Interface for automating interviewing.
· Make sure app scales to the deployment stage
· Provide assistance on technical documentation
Qualifications
· Proven experience in software development in a test-driven environment, building applications for scale
· Hands-on experience building responsive web applications using JavaScript, Node, SPA frameworks (e.g React), HTML, CSS, and other fundamental web technologies
