Phrasing | https://phrasing.app | EU Remote | Co-founder
Phrasing is the best way to learn and maintain multiple languages [1]. With support for over 120 languages, science-based methodologies, and a beautiful custom-built UI, Phrasing makes it easier than ever to learn a language… or 10.
Phrasing is built with Elixir on the backend (lots of Broadway, FLAME, Nx and Scholar) with a ClojureScript front end. Everything is stored in a single Postgres database hosted with neon. I’m moving some code to a commons library, with the end goal of using Clojure as an isomorphic solution to run the same code on web, server, and mobile.
About the Role
We are looking for a co-founder to come on board, take ownership, and accelerate the product. The product is built, working, and growing organically.
Responsibilities
- Take over the entire Elixir codebase
- Watch the Broadway Pipelines, and not sleep if there are any failing checkpoints
- Optimize request times, reduce database pressure, and speed up extraction times
- Work with me to restructure things to reduce costs/complexity
- Work towards training novel embedding spaces, custom classic ML/NLP models, and long-term algorithmic improvements to the SRS [3]
- See this as a fun challenge, and have enough ownership of the product that I can focus on some user-facing developments [4]
Compensation
This position will be rev-share & equity focused until the business produces enough for full salaries.
Requirements
- Competent and hungry (no experience required)
To Apply
Please send an introduction to hn at phrasing dot app.
I will not be interviewing until the 12th of September, and no priority will be given to earlier or later applicants, so there is no rush. A sincere, well-written introduction is your best way to get an interview.
