Engineering at Poised
We are building out our engineering team and constantly update the process based on the needs of the product and team members. So, as an early hire, you would be able to help define a lot of the process.
Currently, we scope out work in quarterly, monthly, and weekly chunks. Our sprints are weekly which starts with the Monday meeting to discuss what the product needs based on our monthly target and any additional feedback that we get from the users.
Data is at the core of our product which is used to allow both manual extraction of insights by the user and automated suggestions from our ML/AI models. This mean that we pay close attention on how to surface small chunks of data like pitch and usage of certain words to users along with using the high volume to identify patterns and ways to improve.
We are also working on audio/signal processing at low level to generate some of our raw data that would be used in building higher level features.
Real-Time Feedback: You would work on building a non intrusive real-time feature that would be active during a user's meeting to provide recommendations when needed without getting in the way.
You'll work on building a data pipeline that would have to scale for both the different types of metrics horizontally and also the volume of those metrics.
Working at Poised
Remote first: We encourage everyone to work at their best in a flexible remote environment. We balance remote work with office days and quarterly offsites for in-person interaction.
Learn fast: We learn quickly through action and shipping features. Working here will be fast-paced but rewarding. Even as a small team we're shipping several times a week.
User focus: We are focused on creating experiences that users love and value. We stay close to users and prioritize based on what users say and do.
Poised communication: We seek to communicate openly, clearly, and candidly. We seek to build a culture where people feel comfortable speaking up to be heard and understood.
Work-life balance: We make time to have fun and celebrate moments together. We work hard but do not take ourselves too seriously. We offer free lunch, full benefits, and have a mandatory vacation policy to ensure everyone will disconnect.
