Textio's mission is to build software that creates understanding between people. Our category-defining augmented writing platform has already transformed the way that thousands of companies write and hire, and now we are seeking a creative, curious, and experienced Senior Natural Language Processing (NLP) Engineer to join us.

You will be joining a welcoming and collaborative Language and Data Science team at a company with language and data at its heart. You will lead critical investments in Textio’s NLP systems, from architecture through implementation. You will mentor and collaborate with a variety of engineers, data scientists, and product managers building powerful language features that create phenomenal writing experiences for Textio customers worldwide.

Textio's augmented writing blends lexical analysis, information extraction, information retrieval, and document modeling. We're looking for a new teammate who will bring experience, skills, and perspectives that complement and strengthen our own. Come help us create the next generation of compelling, impactful, and inclusive writing guidance in the expanding writing domains we support!

What you'll do at Textio:

• Lead and collaborate with engineers applying NLP and machine learning (ML) algorithms to new and exciting user experiences (using tools such as Python, spaCy, AWS, etc.)
• Collaborate on solutions to difficult linguistic and user experience problems through creative prototyping; then, guide and collaborate on production implementations of the most promising solutions
• Contribute your experienced point of view on computational linguistic design patterns: explain the trade-offs of linguistic sophistication, runtime performance, ease of deployment, and maintenance
• Bring a strong ethical orientation to your analysis of linguistic behaviors
• Mentor language engineers and data scientists earlier in their careers

We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Have built, deployed, and maintained NLP and ML services at scale
• Have worked on products where experimentation and data science are core to development
• Are comfortable with a broad range of technological approaches and understand that the best product experiences come from blending approaches in machine learning, NLP, and linguistics
• Have proven experience mapping ambiguous problems into clear plans that enable collaborators to take concrete steps alongside you
• Have a proven track record of mentorship and technical leadership and enjoy empowering others and investing time in the growth of your colleagues
• Keep quality, performance, security, and ethics in mind for any proposed solution
• Are comfortable communicating your point of view but are low ego

We are a distributed team. We support 100% remote work for applicants who reside in the following states: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Oregon, New York, and Washington.
