We develop intelligent automation systems that augment and repurpose human labor across the modern business enterprise. Soroco is pioneering Trustworthy Automation with patent-pending automation technology designed to automate at an unprecedented scale. Each system is capable of assuming the combined roles of 50-100+ full-time equivalents (FTEs) performing 1000s of complex business rules, thereby creating additional capacity in a business unit. Today, we work with Fortune 500 clients where we have successfully automated large volumes of complex manual effort.

The Role

A Technical Lead in Soroco's Infrastructure & Security team reports directly to Soroco's Head of Infrastructure and Security and is responsible for architecting and engineering some of Soroco's more advanced and large-scale infrastructure systems. As part of these responsibilities, the Technical Lead will lead a team of engineers across some of Soroco's clients to deliver highly reliable systems. The Technical Lead will also periodically engage directly with the client to understand requirements and educate the client on Soroco's infrastructure and security practices.

ML experience is not required (Soroco will help train). Responsibilities include (but are not limited to):

• Applying statistical techniques on large data sets to learn system behavior
• Build techniques to operate at scale (e.g., on 60,000 new data points a second)
• Ensuring availability, stability, and reliability of production server technology
• Leveraging and advancing DevOps tooling to automate various IT operations
• Influencing and creating designs, architectures, standards, and methods to make distributed systems more reliable
• Leading a team of engineers that may span across clients
• Engaging with clients to understand requirements, solve problems, and educate the client * Reviewing code and ensuring high quality standards with strong CI practices
