Spekit

Software Engineering
Karachi, Karachi City, Sindh, Pakistan
Posted on Tuesday, November 14, 2023
Headquartered out of Denver, CO, and with an office in Karachi, PK, we’re a small but mighty team on a mission to completely reinvent the future of learning at work.
Introducing Spekit: the new way to learn in today’s remote, digital workplace. Say goodbye to distracted zoom training sessions and lengthy LMS courses your teams will forget. Instead, Spekit takes all of your training & enablement – for applications, processes, sales playbooks, SOPs, and more and embeds that training directly in your employees’ tools & workflows, right when and where they need them. Whether that’s a walkthrough to guide you through creating a quote in Salesforce or a competitor battle card to handle an objection in email, Spekit is your learning companion every step of the way.
The world’s most innovative companies, including Uber Freight, Outreach, Snowflake, Southwest Airlines, and Udemy, leverage Spekit to accelerate onboarding, drive tool adoption, increase productivity, remove the friction of change management, and fuel the growth of their employees – from anywhere.
With over $60M in VC funding from top venture firms, including Craft Ventures, Bonfire Ventures, Renegade Partners, and the Foundry Group, Spekit is the rocket ship you’ll want to be on.
Where is Spekit going?
We refer to the flow of work as the end user's context. This includes what app they are using, what page/URL they are on, and what task they are performing or need to perform. Our goal is to leverage information about this context and combine it with information and resources that our customers make available to their end users to accelerate our customer's ability to be more effective, to close more sales, lower response times on support tickets, more effectively leverage available resources to reply to emails or recommend sharing proven assets like PDFs or power points, etc.
Given our advantage over incumbent systems in how close we are to our end users, we want to iterate toward our vision of predicting needs, recommending key information, and creating a personalized work experience that helps individuals and teams do way more with less effort.
Over the next year, we will be solving a few key problems around recommending content, supporting the importing, formatting, and organization of content, improving information retrieval through search, and instrumenting and optimizing our end-user workflow to create a flywheel of content creation, curation, and consumption.
Why are we hiring for a ML Engineer?
We want to build a small but amazing team whose members approach problems iteratively and curiously. We want pragmatic individuals that go deep enough to understand a problem, consider multiple solutions and weigh their trade-offs, use data to inform decisions, and are comfortable making mistakes through trial/error and experimentation.

  • Experience conducting experimentation, A/B testing methodologies and optimization of models
  • Excellent time management and organizational skillsDesire to learn

The ideal candidate:

  • Is willing and excited about wearing different hats to fill in gaps in knowledge around a project
  • Has a passion for what they do and share that passion to grow others around them

  • Overly specialized, are less self-sufficient, and quick to say "that's not my job" when something is unfamiliar
  • Who require everything to already be in place in order to do their job
