[NFBCS] Seeking Senior Engineers for NYC based startup

[Lia Stone]

Happy Tuesday, CS Division!

I hope everyone is enjoying their post-convention summer!



I’m reaching out because I’m working on recruiting for two positions at an
exciting startup where the founder is highly interested in bringing on
disabled engineers.  This position is based in New York City and requires 4
days a week in-office, however there is a relocation bonus for candidates
from elsewhere.  If you’re interested in either of these roles you can
reach me by replying to this email, sending me a text (cell number is in my
signature block) or sending me a message on LinkedIn  (also in my signature
block.)

(VLMs), Document Layout Analysis, Vision Classification, and more. Broadly,

automated scans and fixes to keep our clients up-to-date on the latest
accessibility standards. The day-to-day tasks include writing software in
multiple languages (Typescript, React, React Native, Swift, Kotlin, SQL),
troubleshooting across multiple large pipelines, and interacting directly
