About Codec
Codec is a cultural intelligence platform. We apply science to culture using AI-driven analysis of thousands of millions of digital content engagements online to group mass audiences into communities, linked by shared leaders, interests, and identity. To help brands move away from mass reach, demographic and product based segmentation.
Our core beliefs are that brands of the future are community driven, culturally relevant and passion led. Post COVID, it’s never been so important for brands to be relevant and empathetic to grow. We help them do this by putting cultural intelligence at their heart.
Brands work with us to get insights into existing brand communities, to drive growth and discover how to unlock new, untapped communities as well as for business transformations and putting cultural insights at the centre of decisions.
Role
We’re looking for someone with strong Scala development skills to build and maintain our platform. Help provide technical leadership including code and architectural reviews and maintain coding standards across our stack.
You will work closely with our Data Science, Product and Client Services groups ensuring delivery of features that vary from implementing sophisticated back-end algorithms that make use of our big data sets and machine-learning to services and APIs to process our data and provide it to our front end.
We work in a very agile, small team in a test driven environment with no bureaucracy and lots of chances to make a big impact. Our tech stack is mostly Scala with RxJava, deployed into GCP using kubernetes with a react/node front end.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and build APIs, services and systems across our platform
- Respond to and resolve production platform issues
- Perform code reviews and mentor junior engineers (not immediately!)
- Help to improve engineering standards, tooling and processes.

- Enjoy yourself!
Skills and Experience Required
- Experience developing API's and services in Scala
- Understanding of modern CI/CD and testing practices
- Have used SQL and/or relational databases
- Have an understanding of functional and object oriented design
- Ability to take a feature from a requirement to deployed to production
- Curious and passionate about technology
Skills and Experience Nice To Haves
- Kubernetes and kustomize experience
- Knowledge of cloud services
- Understanding of docker, linux, modern devops
- Desire to mentor junior engineers
- Big data experience
- We’re committed to building a diverse group of talent with a broad range of backgrounds, skills and capabilities and will give full and fair consideration to all applicants. We hire for the person not for the role, looking for people who share our ambitions to be bold and innovate, making Codec.ai a global success story.
