Job Description

**Apropos**

Crafting compelling business email is extremely difficult. Orchestrating the
scheduling, tracking, and refinement of content across products, narratives,
and customer segments is even harder. Existing Go-To-Market tools are built to
target Consumers or Enterprise. The unique challenges of software companies
who sell to _small businesses_ – finding the audience and sending the best,
most salient content to each person, week after week – remain unsolved.
Without Apropos, GTM teams rely on expensive, manual, “best efforts”
processes.

B2B software companies are revolutionizing how business is carried out across
every industry. _Apropos will bring deep operating experience and excellence
in ML and statistics to fix business email for B2B software teams, unlocking
superlative results._

**Role**

As a **Founding Engineer** , you will have considerable autonomy and influence
on Apropos’s strategy and execution. You will develop a web application for
customers to interface with Apropos’s services. You will work on data
pipelines, ML models, and custom statistical models to compose a holistic
solution to the many challenges B2B software companies face. You will research
effective heuristics. You will design visualizations that make it simple for
customers to decide how to spend their time and money. You will collaborate
with Apropos’s team of experienced operators, engineers, product designers,
and consultants.

Apropos is early in its trajectory. This role offers a significant equity
stake in the Company and the opportunity to take a leading role in Apropos’s
product development. Strong candidates will be hard-working, conscientious,
and eager to take on this challenge.

**Qualifications**

* 3+ years of full-stack software engineering experience
* Web programming, including reactive front-end frameworks
* Database design and operations
* Deployment and operation of cloud services
* Experience in ML, statistics, applied math, or data visualization is a plus
