About the Role:
Pryon is adding a Senior Software Engineer to be responsible for the design, development, and implementation of highly complex loosely coupled software components and microservices integrated into a public cloud architecture.

This position requires a high-functioning person who can not only self-manage (within a structure) and coordinate directly with their research team, but who is also interested in learning new theories, concepts, principles, and methodologies and building convincing proposals that your ideas will help them achieve ground-breaking ends.

About the Company:
Welcome to Pryon, a place for people who want to define the state of the art: real AI (oxymoron intended), developed by real pioneers, solving real problems of consequence. Our company was built by some of the most well-known experts in the field, whose DNA lives on in Alexa, Siri, Watson, and virtually every other AI product on the market. But the best part of the story is still to come: We’re creating a world-class culture fueled by intellectual curiosity and radical technology — to reduce the distance between knowledge and people.

We’re a team of AI, tech, and language experts whose DNA lives in Alexa, Siri, Watson, and virtually every human language technology product on the market. Now we’re building an industry-leading knowledge management platform. Our proprietary, cutting-edge natural language processing capabilities transform unstructured data into meaningful experiences that increase productivity with unmatched accuracy and speed.

What you will be doing:

  • Technical guide and a leader in designing & coding robust scalable, loosely coupled components and microservices that integrates with both public and private cloud infrastructure.
  • Apply architecture and design principals consistently and holistically to enable target end-to-end usage scenarios.
  • Strong focus on DevOps use-cases and work-flows.
  • Optimized internally for extensibility and enabling development teams to operate quickly.
  • Work with SCRUM teams and Product Management to refine requirements, understand how we will meet the broader properties of the system and help design efficient, flexible, highly scalable and extensible services.
  • Drive critical component design decisions across working teams.
  • Work to drive decisions through a crisp decision-making process and framework.
  • Analyze criteria and options and bring together necessary data to answer key questions.
  • Meet with key partners, internal teams and 3rd party partners in joint design and development efforts while being able to articulate roadmap and product architecture.

Requirements

  • Experience in development & deployment across multiple cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, VMWare and OpenStack.
  • Good knowledge of microservices architecture & large-scale API design and development.
  • Experience with Docker containers and orchestration platforms such as ECS, Kubernetes, Mesos and/or Swarm.
  • Experience developing solutions using automation tools such as Ansible, Chief, Puppet, System Center.
  • Experience developing automation for Terraform or infrastructure provisioning tools.
  • Good knowledge and extensive experience with a broad set of ADC component technologies.
  • Experience crafting complex product technologies and initiatives from concept through release.
  • Able to collaborate and thrive in a dynamic environment.

About Pryon

A unique history and promising future.

Pryon was founded by Igor Jablokov, whose previous company was acquired by Amazon in 2011 for its AI tech — which is now found in billions of Alexa, Echo, and Fire TV devices.
Today, they operate at the intersection of AI and knowledge management, to bring natural language Q&A to the enterprise. Their automated, vision-based ingestion of complex documents delivers precise answers to text and voice queries with higher rates of accuracy than mainstream search. They are backed by top venture funds who believe in their vision and ability to execute.

Location Policy

Their team is currently a fully remote organization, with physical offices in Seattle, New York, and Raleigh. Most of their locations have co-working space where employees can gather to work together if they care to. They anticipate moving to a flexible hybrid model to allow more collaboration in 2022.

Core Values

The team at Pryon values openness in ideas and communication, contribution to a positive and inclusive work environment. They love to work with team members who push the boundaries of imagination and technology.

Benefits

Pryon pays 100% of the premiums for all benefits for the employee and dependents.

What they are building

Customers and employees are demanding higher and higher levels of self-service experiences (think call centers, virtual assistants and chat), which require sophisticated natural language interactions that today’s chatbots and knowledge management systems can’t deliver. Pryon automates the AI model-building process, so companies can benefit from supercharged knowledge management within a day to better meet partner, customer, and innovation demands.
