About Coda

Coda started with an observation: In a world full of applications, why do documents and spreadsheets still run everything? And why haven't they been meaningfully updated in over 50 years? Coda is a new doc that's familiar and flexible like the documents you're used to, but comes with building blocks you can combine to create docs as powerful as apps. It's a big product with an even bigger mission. And we need your help to spread the word! We're backed by some of the Valley's leading venture capitalists, and have assembled a world-class team across offices in San Francisco, Mountain View, and Seattle, and remote employees all over the US. In fact, all our jobs are open in any location across the US. Here's a quick overview of what we do.

About the Role

As a ML engineer at Coda you will build products that use the latest AI technology to build applied solutions for users problems, some of which can be seen at coda.io/ai. You will use LLMs and train models to help users write content, find and summarize structured and unstructured data, and build custom applications from natural language prompts.
 
You'll work with a stellar team of passionate, experienced engineers and product managers who have been instrumental in building some of the most widely-used technology products globally - including YouTube, Google Drive/Docs, Google Travel/Shopping, Amazon AWS, Pinterest, and Microsoft Azure. You'll report to Coda's head of AI engineering.

In this role you will:

  • Build solutions and guide direction and prioritization of which problems to solve, which to tackle in house, which to use third party products for, and how to integrate this all in a way that creates value for our users
  • Partner with the product and other engineering teams to enhance Coda by bringing the magic of AI across all of its surfaces
  • Work in a collaborative environment across multiple geo-located offices (Seattle, San Francisco, and Mountain View). Like many of our engineers, you can also work remotely
  • Help ensure our customers have an excellent experience using Coda
  • Participate in the engineering teams' on-call rotations for customer support and live production issues during business hours

You may be a great fit for this role if:

  • You have 6+ years of industry experience in a software engineering role and have a software engineering degree or equivalent experience
  • You have spent 3+ years working with machine learning and have experience training and using large language models/natural language processing
  • You have experience with Python and a major ML framework (PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.)
  • You have worked through model creation and serving end to end (data collection, training, evaluation, productionization)
  • You are motivated and excel when challenged

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
