### Software Engineer
_Denver, CO; Boulder, CO; or Remote_
Approximate Labs is an AI research lab and product studio focused at the
intersection of artificial intelligence of tabular data. We are creating a
future where access to data analysis is universal. In this future, AI will
play the role of analyst, taking requests in natural language and giving
clear, detailed responses.
We are seeking passionate individuals eager to build AI and making the world
more data-driven. As a fast-paced, early stage startup, we are looking for
team members who thrive in ambiguous environments; will enthusiastically
learn, grow, and debate with others; and are hungry to tackle hard problems
with a world-class team.
### What we’re building
### **Multi-modal text and data foundation model**
Foundation models like GPT-4 have demonstrated that AI can achieve human
level-competency in tasks across multiple domains. We are building a multi-
modal foundation model for text and data that will understand and manipulate
data as well as human data analysts.
### **Repository of tabular data**
Increasingly large training data sets are a key driver of the rapid increase
in AI intelligence. We are building a repository of tabular data with
sufficient volume and diversity to train a foundation model. This data set
will be similar in scope to [The Pile](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.00027) and
[LAION-5B](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.08402).
### **Natural language interfaces to data systems**
Our AI data analyst will engage with humans as a collaborator. It will need to
clarify and select approaches amidst ambiguity, explain how it arrived at its
answers, and adjust it's approach with feedback. All of this will be done in
natural language.
### What we’re looking for
### Skills & Experience
Strong candidates will have the following:
* Fundamentals of computer science, machine learning, information theory, and/or data systems
* Designing, building, and shipping real-world software from scratch
* Designing exceptional user experiences
### Tools we use
This role will do full-stack development with Python and Javascript (React,
Next.js).
### Our People & Culture
**We are committed to doing the best work of our lives while living our best
lives.** We don't believe that having a job you love and a meaningful career
are at odds with a fulfilling personal life. We find that a fulfilling work
life fuels a fulfilling personal life, and vice versa. This means we embody
the best of high-performance and living fully.
Our approach to people is simple: Hire the best people, help them set big
goals, and get out of their way. We are looking for world-class doers,
thinkers, and teammates. Doers produce extraordinary results in a short amount
of time. Thinkers are voracious learners with good judgement. Teammates
prioritize team success over individual success and bring out the best in
others.

* Extreme flexibility. Work when you want, where you want, and how you want.
* Unlimited vacation, because there is more to life than working.
_The pay range for this role will be between $150K-$300K, depending on a
number of factors, including your personal appetite for cash vs. stock
options._
