About the Team

Here at BTI360, we've built a culture that's passionate about developing software engineers. Software doesn't build itself. People do. In fact, teams of people do. That's why our primary focus is on developing better craftsmen, better teammates, and better technical leaders. By putting people first, we're not just giving our teammates more opportunities to grow, we're also raising the bar of the software we ship. BTI360 previously has been voted 10 years in a row as a TOP Place to Work by the Washington Business Journal.

We're seeking a software engineer who loves solving tough problems. You'll join a seasoned team focused on building systems that extract content from across the internet - text, audio, video, and more. In short: we want you to help us "capture the internet" or at least a good chunk of it.

  • Familiarity with monitoring and observability stacks such as Prometheus/Grafana (preferred), CloudWatch, or ELK/EFK

  • Contributions to open-source libraries or community projects or personal projects
  • Experience with search technologies such as OpenSearch (preferred), Elasticsearch, or Solr
  • Experience working with streaming or event-driven architectures such as SNS/SQS (preferred), Kafka, Kinesis, or Event Bridge
  • Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform) and how to leverage DevSecOps pipelines to deliver code
  • Experience working with NLP libraries (e.g., spaCy, NLTK, Hugging Face Transformers) and integrating with commercial or custom generative AI services such as OpenAI, Azure Cognitive Services, or proprietary models.
