Procurify | Fully Remote, CANADA | FULL-TIME | REMOTE | 150k-230k CAD

- Director Data Engineering & Data Science (https://boards.greenhouse.io/procurify/jobs/4352825005)

(80% hands on at the beginning)

- Senior Data Engineer (https://boards.greenhouse.io/procurify/jobs/4352787005)

We’re assembling a small but mighty team to build and own the data platform that’s going to be the backbone of the business' strategic shift towards automation and data-driven products in the procure-to-pay industry. You’ll get the opportunity to work on the largest technology initiative since the company's founding about 10y ago. An opportunity with massive impact, visibility and full buy-in from the senior leadership and executives.

Our mission is to enable our gang of 40+ product engineers to deliver data-driven products and features.

Profile (roughly):

- great personality

- solid engineering skills with Python and pyspark / deltalake

- data architecture and data modelling

- CI/CD, testing and quality tests for data pipelines

- experience with databricks and its recent products highly desired (deltalake, autoloader, unity catalog, structured streaming, DLT, DAB, ...)

Some highlights:

- 4-day work week (every Friday off)

- Well funded as we just raised 50m in series C

- Excellent senior leadership with a human-centric culture

- Great business momentum and growth trajectory

Put "hackernews" into the last textbox and I'll make sure it gets in front of our recruiter and hiring manager.

Hi, you have your links backward. The Director role links to the Data Eng role, and vice versa.

Sounds like LLMs having their SQL injection equivalent moment.

I’d also say this described phenomenon isn’t new - except for it’s applied context: it’s essentially disinformation - a well known technique used by military since decades. Except now we hack LLM agents instead of real people’s minds.

Nonetheless interesting to watch.

Yup, I think this is analogous to a "Second Order SQL Injection"

Nice and slim - does your cubic spline support clamping and monotonicity as well by any chance ?

Do you have an example or reference describing how clamping and monotonicity in the context of cubic splines are implemented? Thanks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotone_cubic_interpolation has some reference for monotone cubic splines.

In theory they should be useful when know that the underlying process should be monotone. I think in the past I found them more sensitive to noise and wondered if monotone approximation might not be better than monotone interpolation for that reason.

I added class comments to each class which explain the high level implementation details. Clamping is supported with natural cubic splines, and this is done by taking the slopes at each endpoint.

Monotonicity is currently not supported (for cubic splines).

The general assumption you make is wrong - it’s not like in North americas. There are eng jobs in the top bracket, but the big majority isn’t.

Your website has no content as of now, so would you mind sharing one sentence what you’re doing/building - at least roughly? SaaS, product, ML ... ?

Sending out responses to applications would actually be nice ... just saying.

I know it's frustrating not to get a response, but this comment breaks the rules at the top of the thread. Please don't do that here.

Well, I’m not complaining, I’m suggesting an automated reply to notify people that their stuff was submitted. Which is how things usually work when you submit through a recruiting portal.

I’m not complaining about the processing “speed”.

That wasn't clear in your comment. I read it more as a snarky way of complaining that you applied and didn't hear back.

I agree with you that job applicants should get responses.

I heard similar things, but it also seems to be very specific to Zurich area. Maybe due to the high ratio of expats per locals.

FYI: your https website is not loading. Plus, neither your post nor the non-https version of your website provides any information on what you're actually looking/recruiting for. Probably not the best way to attract people.

Can you say something about the software stack you used to build this? Are you using any of the existing libs like zipline or completely from scratch !

I do rely on Zipline heavily + other deep learning libraries. I see no point in reinventing the wheel. The stack is mainly Python and C++.

thanks - I was already thinking it's just me not getting it :-)
