Cairo, Cairo, Egypt Affectiva Full time

We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer – Platform to join our globally distributed but close-knit team in creating, delivering, and maintaining our industry-recognized software-based Human Perception AI solutions and platform.

Reporting to the Director of Data, you can expect to be actively working on Affectiva's data pipelines and data platform in direct support of our Machine Learning / Deep Learning Science Organization who will be your main internal clients. This will involve deep knowledge about efficient data pipelining, and transformation, in particular automated provisioning and monitoring of transient infrastructure. Efficiency, quality, and automation are paramount to keep the data flowing to those who depend on it.

About You

You understand what it means to create a backbone for a system. Without your frameworks and APIs, core business requirements wouldn't be met. Non-functional requirements are what you consider, and you know the questions to ask to ensure the system delivers to the appropriate capacity, securely and reliably.

These days it's all about the movement, transformation, and presentation of data and you recognize this fact. You have at least 8 years' experience developing functions which manage and process data. You have also built up significant infrastructure experience in cloud environments that efficiently move very large volumes of data, and you have written database functions and Python scripts to orchestrate and monitor those systems.

Ideally you understand the pains and friction associated with ML/DL pipelines and can help ease them, our goal is to enable our Science team to move fast and flawlessly as we off-load much of their manual heavy lifting to automated infrastructure.
