ROLE SUMMARY
Babel Street is looking for a Software Engineer to join our Analytics Group. This is an execution-focused "builder" role for an engineer early in their career who wants to work at the intersection of NLP algorithms, search engines, and data science techniques. In this role, you will help create the next generation of architecture and components for our analytics platform, focusing specifically on our record matching functionality. You will bridge the gap between linguistic theory and practical AI applications, helping us implement practical, innovative text analytics and AI-driven features. You will work closely with senior engineers to learn how to deliver software that is safe, reliable, and production-ready.
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
The record matching functionality is where Babel Street’s signals become usable intelligence. Do you care about provenance, explainability, and trust? When a match decision affects whether someone is onboarded or investigated, "the model said so" is not good enough. You will help build systems where every match is defensible, auditable, and tunable — a rare luxury in modern ML-heavy stacks. Do you speak multiple languages? Since our platform processes data from around the globe, your linguistic insights can directly inform how we build and polish the NLP and computational linguistics components that make our record matching world-class.
