There are open positions for senior engineers across our FE, BE, SRE, and AI organizations.

We work primarily with python and JS (Flask, GraphQL, express), we have everything as infrastructure-as-code and we have ~200 micro-services running in production.

On the AI side - we focus on core research for NLP processing and developing recommender systems. If DL transformer networks, reinforcement learning, and large scale web crawling interests you then get in touch!

I've never done it for myself. I did, however, do it for screencasting (Twitch and YouTube).

There are a couple of things here:

1. Talking to yourself is extremely useful. You'll be surprised by how effective it is. 2. A recording is not very useful because discovery is awful. Even though all my content is on YouTube, There's no way I can find that one time I fixed an interesting bug or implemented something complicated. Without proper logging of what you did and indexing in the video, it will just be like any other video you take with your GoPro, hours of nothing.

What I found to be really effective with my teams is this: 1. Draw your thoughts. 2. Write up a mini-plan of how you want to "attack" this 3. Talk through it, even if it's only to yourself. 4. Pseudo Code and Pseudo Flows of data
