We're VC backed and growing like a rocket ship

We're looking for a senior engineer. Primary programming language is Python. Experience with machine learning a plus but not required.

The role involves:

- Improving our PDF extraction functions

We move fast and ship things quickly. The code you write will be in users' hands in days. The team is highly technical, no middle management, self-directed.

We meet in SF 2x a week, work from home the rest of the time.

Please contact: [email protected]. Please include a cover letter and resume, and why you're interested in the role.

Can you clarify the 50x cheaper number? Is this for self-hosting, or if you're hosting on OpenPipe?

The pricing on OpenPipe says it's 0.0012 to 0.0016 per 1K tokens for Llama 7b. GPT-3.5 pricing is 0.0015 to 0.002, so not that different.

I'm assuming the 50x cost reductions are primarily from self-hosting?

Christian's math assumes every MAU is worth the same. He took $600 million in revenue and divided it by 430 million MAU, to get to $0.12 per user.

In reality, the value of a MAU varies a ton by geography (and other factors).

For Meta, in 2023, US and Canada traffic is worth $48/yr, while developing world traffic is $3.35/yr. A ~15x difference.

The typical Apollo user is probably much higher value than the average Reddit user, so the opportunity cost is higher as well.

Listening.io | Flutter | San Francisco, 50% remote | Full Time or Freelance

Salary: $90k to $135k (or hourly equivalent) Equity: 0.5% to 2%

Overview -

Listening.io is "Audible for Education". We turn educational materials, like textbooks & research papers, into audiobooks. We're growing fast, and are looking to hire a Flutter engineer.

Our entire team is technical, with no middle managers. You'll get to play with some of the latest technologies in your day-to-day work, including GPT-4 and text-to-speech APIs.

Finally, you'll also own a big piece of equity in a fast-growing, VC-backed startup.

Requirements -

You'll need to be able to single handedly own everything in the mobile app. That means we're looking for someone with a lot of Flutter experience, including fully developing every part of an app.

Although 95% of the work is in Flutter, we do need to bridge into native code ~5% of the time. So we're looking for experience in Flutter, as well as Swift, Kotlin, and native development (XCode / Android Studio).

This is a 50% in person position, so it's local to the SF Bay Area.
