[Hiring] Director of Data Engineering @Factored

 

At Factored, we help ambitious companies build world-class AI teams faster and more cost-effectively. Our stellar engineering teams are extremely talented across a wide range of state-of-the-art AI technologies, including data science, machine learning, data engineering, and data analytics. 

 

Factored was conceived in Palo Alto, California, by Andrew Ng and a team of highly experienced AI researchers, educators, and engineers to help address the significant shortage of qualified AI and machine learning engineers globally. We know that exceptional technical aptitude, intelligence, communication skills, and passion are equally distributed around the world, and we are very committed to testing, vetting, and nurturing the most talented engineers for our programs and on behalf of our clients.

 

We are searching for a highly experienced Director of Data Engineering to lead our DE Center of Excellence (CoE) made up of an elite group of data engineers working on a diverse range of client applications as well as innovative in-house product development initiatives. #LI-Remote

 

At Factored, we believe that passionate, smart people expect honesty, transparency, and the freedom to do the best work of their lives while learning and growing as much as possible. Great people enjoy working with other passionate, smart people, so we believe in hiring right and are very selective about who joins our team. Once we hire you, we will invest in you and support your career and professional growth in many meaningful ways. We hire supremely intelligent and talented people, but we recognize that intelligence is not enough. Perhaps more importantly, we look for those who are also passionate about our mission and are honest, diligent, collaborative, kind to others, and fun to be around. Life is too short to work with people who don’t inspire you. 

 

We are a transparent workplace where EVERYBODY has a voice in building OUR company and where learning and growth are available to everyone based on their merits, not just stamps on their resume. As impressive as some of the stamps on our resumes are, we recognize that human talent and passion exist everywhere and come from many backgrounds, so stamps matter much less than results. We are all dedicated doers and highly energetic, focusing vehemently on execution because we know that the best learning happens by doing. We recognize that we are creating OUR COMPANY TOGETHER, which is not only a high-performing fast-growing business but is changing the way the world perceives the quality of technical talent in Latin America. We are fueled by the great positive impact we are making in the places where we do business. We are committed to accelerating careers and investing in hundreds (hopefully thousands) of highly talented data science engineers and analysts.

 

In short, our business is about people, so we hire the best people and invest as much as possible in making them fall in love with their work, their learning, and their mission.  When not nerding out on data science, we love to make music together, play sports, play games, dance salsa, cook delicious food, brew the best coffee, throw the best parties, and generally have a great time with each other.
