Associate Software Engineer at Talroo

About Us

We are honored to be recognized as a multi-award winning organization. Talroo has been consistently recognized as a Top Workplace and a Best Place to Work in Austin. We've been ranked the last five years by Inc. 500/5000 as one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S. You'll also find us on the Austin Business Journal's Fast 50 growth awards list multiple times. We're growing the right way, and we need exceptional talent to help us build upon our successful story.

Talroo is helping organizations like Uber, McDonald’s, UPS, The Home Depot, Target and more, find and hire their essential workforces. Our data-driven job and hiring event recruiting platform turns the Internet into a help wanted sign. Our pay-for-performance model enables customers to maximize efficiency, not waste spend, and hire employees faster than they could with any of our competitors.

Rather than drive customers to a destination site, Talroo uses a consumer marketing approach to deliver job opportunities to candidates where they are already spending time online. Similar to what Google AdSense and Facebook Ad Networks do for their advertisers, Talroo uncovers the right candidates that companies are looking to hire.

Talroo leverages a search-and-match algorithm powered by state-of-the-art AI technologies. Our deep-learning processes analyze billions of signals daily, assessing the job seeker-employer relationship in real time. This produces significantly better search results for the job seekers, and higher quality applicant matches for the employer.

While we focus on providing amazing results and service for our customers, within our exciting company you’ll also find a high-performance environment of collaboration, encouragement, transparency and fun!

Selection Process

Candidates must successfully complete a technical online assessment prior to interviews with our team. Our thorough interview process focuses on problem-solving ability and engineering fundamentals rather than specific technology expertise. We're selective because we believe in maintaining a high-caliber engineering team that pushes each other to excel.

If you're ready to tackle challenging technical problems while making a real difference in people's lives, we want to hear from you.

For those candidates who are invited for a final round of interviews, please note that the final round will be on-site (not virtual) at our Austin, TX headquarters building.
