Why you'll love working here
We're committed to building products for professional photographers who work with people from all genders, ethnicities, racial and religious backgrounds. We think it’s important that our team reflects the same diverse audience. We're actively working to grow a diverse team and offer:

• Flexible and remote working options

• 1 month paid parental leave in addition to government leave

• 30 hours a week for up to 6 months on full pay following return from parental leave (for both birthing and non-birthing parents)

• Extended sick leave to support our team to get through the many things life can throw your way.

• Based in our office on Karangahape Road in Auckland, New Zealand, with the option to work remotely for three days a week. We find it’s important to have time for face-to-face communication, while also allowing some days to work from home, if one wants.

• Competitive salary commensurate with skills and experience, a 6 monthly review cycle, plus participation in a generous employee share option scheme.

We’re looking for someone who has:

• Attitude:

  • Self-directed skilled problem solver who can independently work towards solving the world's most challenging technical problems

  • Ability to communicate across teams, integrating feedback and expertise from diverse technical and non-technical sources.

  • Desire to always improve themselves

  • Willing to tackle gnarly seemingly impossible problems

  • Excitement about impacting and changing the lives of photographers and shaping the future of photography

  • Ability to be scrappy and build imperfect solutions quickly and then improve them over time

• Skills & experience:

  • Fantastic technical skills in your area of expertise

• Education:

  • Experience equivalent to a Master degree or PhD in Data Science, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or similar field

Handy to have, but not required:

• A keen interest in photography

• Experience training Deep Learning models

• Knowledge of Rust or C/C++

At Narrative, we're building AI software to help a wide range of people. We're looking for a team that shares our passion for this work. Research shows that some candidates apply when they meet about 60% of the criteria, while others hesitate unless they meet them all.
