WE ARE VERITONE 

We are driven by the belief that Artificial Intelligence is mankind’s greatest invention. It is the key to building a safer, more vibrant, transparent, and empowered society. We are determined to be an active contributor to shaping our future for the better. We care about the ethical implications of AI and the prosperity and well-being of all individuals, as well as the growth and continued successes of our employees, customers, and partners.

Veritone’s mission today is more important than ever. We’re here to democratize AI and enable every organization and every person with the power of AI. What started in 2014 with the idea of providing unified access to hundreds of cognitive engines through one common software infrastructure, evolved to the world’s first AI operating system, aiWARE, which orchestrates a diverse ecosystem of cognitive engines to power intelligent automation for both commercial and government organizations. As we progress, we will continue to move humans from “in” to “on” to “out of the loop” to help them accelerate workflows, save time and costs, and uncover new insights and opportunities.

What You’ll Do

The work you do will be instrumental in helping organizations across many industries, empowering companies to harness the power of AI in addressing business challenges efficiently and at scale. You will design, build and champion robust backend systems and contribute to the overall architecture of the world’s first operating system for artificial intelligence, aiWARE. 

The team that has the most impact on Veritone is the AI Data team. Their success is to provide a rich and scalable API layer and a durable data persistence layer, along with the services used to act upon that data. Our APIs enable rapid application development for our internal Product teams and abstract away the complexities of our persistence layer - systems of record, search indexes, message buses, and application caches - and services.

The AI Data team intends to work collectively in a predictable way, to design, implement, and maintain all aspects of the AI Data ecosystem, tearing down silos as they arise. We work in two-week sprints, which are planned and are intended to be immutable, though we allow a path for production support issues to trump the plan.

TECHNOLOGY

• Write scalable backend code to help facilitate hundreds of AI engines across over 20 cognitive categories, an intelligent data lake, APIs, workflow tools and various industry applications.
• Design and implement GraphQL API services in Nodejs, Golang using open source technologies including Docker, Jenkins, PostgreSQL, Git version control and more.
• Exemplify what it means to build optimized and efficient backend code.
• System-oriented, you are concerned with topics such as end-to-end data flows and its impact on the system, scalability of each layer within the system, the technologies chosen throughout the stack, data persistence, and messaging, with the goal of driving excellence through the stack.
• You have a DevOps mindset: instrumentation and correlation, build pipelines, development and stage environments, development practices, automating tasks, speed, and accuracy of testing, etc.
• Design, develop, test, debug and maintain software code for our high-performance business applications.

PROCESS
