AI Engineer (Transcribe)

Who we are
Transcribe is a speech-to-text-to-insights platform. We have (1) Transcribe Workspace, a web application that serves over 5000 monthly active users, assisting them to transform their conversations into insights, and (2) Transcribe API, a solution that embeds speech-to-text and text analytics solutions into agency systems.

What you will be working on

As an AI engineer, you will:

• Build prototypes to demonstrate technology opportunities
• Design system architectures while accounting for security and infrastructure constraints
• Write production quality code
• Know how to best utilise and integrate AI platform services during application development
• Backend and/or frontend application development within a containerised microservices architecture
• Manage deployments to on-premise infrastructure and cloud
• Collaborate with various stakeholders to ensure necessary inputs are aligned and application is cleared for deployment
• Learn and share knowledge in a multi-disciplinary team

Additionally, more senior engineers will be expected to:

• Establish best practices
• Share your expertise and mentor other engineers

You are not just here to write code, but also to figure out what we should be building and how we should build it.

Your job will be to bring expertise and capability to the public sector. Sometimes this means coding new systems from scratch. Other times this means using the best solutions the community has to offer. We use cloud services, open source software, and commodity hardware as far as possible. Knowing what to build and what to reuse lets us avoid wasting time on solved problems and focus on delivering actual value.

What it is like working here
We build products that serve a variety of agency users, who use them to solve highly meaningful problems pertinent to our society, from transportation, to education, to healthcare. The public sector is full of opportunities where even the simplest software can have a big impact on people’s lives. We are here to improve how we live as a society through what we can offer as a government.

• Rapid Prototyping - Instead of spending too much time debating ideas we prefer testing them. This identifies potential problems quickly, and more importantly, conveys what is possible to others easily.
• Reliable Productization - To scale an idea, a prototype or a Minimum Viable Product to a software product, we scrutinize and commit to its usability, reliability, scalability and maintainability.
• Ownership - In addition to technical responsibilities, this means having ideas on how things should be done and taking responsibility for seeing them through. Building something that you believe in is the best way to build something good.
• Continuous Learning - Working on new ideas often means not fully understanding what you are working on. Taking time to learn new architectures, frameworks, technologies, and even languages is not just encouraged but essential.

Requirements

• Proficiency in backend application development in Python and/or GoLang
• Strong software engineering passion
• Ability to design and build software, solve abstract problems, and reason and communicate clearly about code
• Able to integrate application code with other services such as databases (e.g. MongoDB, Postgres), caches (e.g. Redis), etc
• Experience with containerisation (Docker/Kubernetes) and deployment on cloud or on-premise production environments is preferred
• Knowledge of DevOps, CI/CD, cloud computing (AWS), on-premise infrastructure, database administration, and Linux/Unix would be advantageous
• Frontend development skills (e.g. React)
• Initiative and commitment to public service
