What is it like in engineering at Genus AI

First and foremost we want to be proud of our team, the work we do together, to learn from one another and set an example and be a driving force in AI application in positive ways. We expect initiative and self-reliance in a lot of day to day tasks.

We follow Gall's Law when we build systems - start simple and gradually improve. We build systems that are not algorithmically pure, but easy to change, adapt and improve. We are fans of "Choose Boring First" approach and try to be smart about the technologies we pick.

We are optimizing our engineering towards sustainable speed. We encourage the release of small iterative changes that are fast to review and verify. This gives us a significant speed in trying out various ideas and getting feedback fast.

We review everything that goes into production, both to improve the quality of our code and to share knowledge.

We automate things when it makes the most sense.

Languages, Frameworks and Tools you will encounter at Genus AI:

  • Most of our codebase is written in Python (3.11+).

  • Our infrastructure is built on top of AWS and we use CloudFormation for Infrastructure-as-a-Code, and Ansible with custom plugins for automation.

  • We use Github for most of our engineering (CI/CD) and product workflows.

  • We use Django 4 with MariaDB for our client facing platform API.

  • We use Celery, Docker, Kafka, AWS ECS, AWS Athena, AWS S3 for background tasks, ETL, and data engineering pipelines.

  • We use React, TypeScript, and GraphQL for our platform UI.

  • We use Jupyterlab with Python, Scikit-learn, Pytorch, Tensorflow, and AWS SageMaker for data science workloads. We leverage various GenAI tools such as CLIP embeddings, StableDiffusion and various LLMs. As we plan on doing more R&D there is an opportunity for validating any other cutting edge ML tools and frameworks.
