The Project
Researchers at Insight have been developing state-of-the-art machine learning techniques for Natural Language Processing. These techniques have granted potential commercialisation opportunities in several sectors, particularly in traditionally conservative businesses. We are seeking people with a start-up mind-set to join our early-stage team developing a new softwareas-a-service, which will dramatically improve workload efficiencies in conventional pen-and-paper markets. With output focused on our early-adopter clients, there is a significant opportunity for people with the right interests, enthusiasm and software skills to become part of a new highgrowth company as the project develops.
The Role
We are seeking a backend web developer to design and develop a plug-in application for Microsoft Word that integrates with our AI software for analysing large corpora of written language documents. The developer will be responsible for backend application design and implementation of a portal, and integration of our software with our UI. The programmer will have a degree in computer science and have 3 years of experience in backend, cloud and web development.
