About Chalk
Chalk is revolutionizing the data platform landscape to propel the advancements of machine learning applications. We dismantle the complexities, latencies, and scalability constraints that have historically hindered ML capabilities. Our platform melds the swift performance of Rust with intuitive tools that developers appreciate. Major companies rely on Chalk for diverse tasks, including thwarting fraudulent credit card transactions, identity verification, and optimizing clean energy utilization. Recently, we secured a $50 million Series A, spearheaded by Felicis.
About the Role
We are on the lookout for seasoned Frontend Software Engineers to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will spearhead the development of robust front-end architecture patterns, create well-abstracted reusable components, and collaborate across teams to enhance developer efficiency. Your success in this position will stem from your extensive front-end expertise and your ability to collaborate effectively across various teams and disciplines to achieve results.
This position presents an exciting opportunity to join us in-person as an early employee, allowing you to make a significant impact at a rapidly growing startup. You will confront challenging engineering problems with considerable autonomy and ownership.
We seek software engineers who are adept at resolving business challenges across all layers of the software stack, particularly focusing on frontend engineering. At Chalk, we construct reliable data processing systems capable of performing efficiently at scale, all while maintaining a strong emphasis on developer experience.
We require engineers who can create world-class user experiences on both web and command-line interfaces, while also understanding and contributing to a codebase enriched with concepts from compilers, query planners, and distributed systems.
Our team operates onsite five days a week. While we are flexible with unavoidable conflicts, this is not a hybrid role.
What You Will Do
Collaborate directly with Chalk’s co-founders to bring our initial iteration to production
Develop using TypeScript (React), Python, and Go
Lead discussions on frontend architecture and conduct technical breakdowns.
Enable data scientists and machine learning end-users to access the functionality of our core platform in their native environments
Rapidly iterate to enhance Chalk's offerings based on user feedback and needs.
