About Cully
Cully is a consumer-focused bot that uses machine learning & messaging platforms to provide event recommendations in your local area. Acting as a blend between a concierge and your “cool” friend who always has his/her finger on the pulse, we want Cully to be a tool enabling users to break their routine, try new things and explore their local area.
We’re based in downtown Vancouver, BC, and Vancouver-metro area is our initial focus for Cully’s recommendations.
Cully is an early stage project, just starting to build momentum, with the first public prototype in place, and a set of high level objectives to meet by the end of 2017. Joining now will give you the opportunity to own large parts of the product and help set direction.
This will be a small, skunkworks styled team of 4-6 people, with a mandate to not only build a great Cully experience, but the flexibility to challenge orthodoxy and explore cutting edge technologies.
About You
You're an intermediate developer with a core set of technical skills, as well as exposure to participating in product/feature design and development. You are ready to use these skills to take the next step and own a large part of the development of Cully from prototype to full market launch with thousands of daily users.
Beyond your established technical skill set we are looking for a versatile individual, passionate about technology, who naturally takes ownership and enjoys exploring new technologies.
While front end (conversational bot interface) and back end are relative terms in this project, you’ve had exposure to both and are comfortable integrating with
Our current stack is Ruby on Rails running on Heroku, using IBM Watson. There is no chatbot component written yet, which will likely be written in Node/Go/Python (you will be part of the decision making process).
Bonus Points:
- Have interest/experience in machine learning
- Bot/messaging platform experience
- Have experience with testing and QA
