Nooks (https://nooks.ai) | Software Engineers (full-stack & backend/applied ML) | Full-time | Onsite in SF (hybrid) Hi, I’m one of the founders of Nooks — we’re trying to re-invent how sales teams work with real-time collaboration and AI.

Nooks is: - A virtual office: you can work from anywhere in the world, but still work with your team and get feedback and coaching like you’re sitting side-by-side. - and an AI co-pilot. We learn how your team works, identify “winning” strategies and behaviors, then share them with the whole team during and after calls!

We’re working on fun engineering challenges including complex distributed systems, low-latency algorithms & infrastructure, and modeling sales calls with large language models. You'll also have the chance to make a huge impact on our customers (sales reps who spend 80% of their work day on Nooks.)

Right now we’re a small eng team (~12 ppl) growing super quickly - doubling revenue every quarter, and recently hit $4M ARR!

Looking for experienced engineers who love tackling difficult product questions and working closely with customers. Excitement about language models, few-shot learning and other recent AI advances is also a plus :)

At Nooks, we’re building a smart virtual office for sales teams. Our AI copilot helps sales reps optimize their prospect research & calls, multiplying their productivity immensely.

Why should you join? We’re solving some cool problems with cutting edge ML

• Automate the manual parts of sales calls (skip answering machines, clean bad numbers, navigate dial trees) using incredibly low-latency audio models

• Standardize and optimize sales conversations — use LLMs to learn the winning “playbook” for each team & drive realtime improvement

• Parse unstructured data (from LinkedIn, job postings, etc.) with few-shot learning — lets reps focus on the highest value prospects, titles, & accounts

You'll also have the chance to work with world-class engineers, build quickly, and get rewarding feedback from customers who seriously love our product (peep our Nooks Wall of Love )

Right now we’re a small team (~30 ppl) growing super quickly - think doubling revenue every quarter.

Re:The Chomsky Puzzle on Saturday August 27, 2016 @11:57PM (#12375234)
In real life, if you publicly proclaim controversial beliefs, people will probably publicly confront or question you about them. Most of them will not push a debate further if you say "I don't want to talk about this topic" or something similar. But if you say "We seem to disagree about some basic facts", it seems to imply you think they are making basic/obvious mistakes, but you aren't going even going to deign to explain those mistakes to them. In short, it could come off as condescending or rude, and it could easily be averted by being a bit more polite.

Actually, a lot of research shows that our actions influence our thoughts. If you smile more, you'll be happier. If you are paid to recite a statement, you are more likely to believe it. Similarly, it is plausible that if you post less racist comments, you'll probably over time become less racist.

Slavery was a commonplace practice all around the world for up until about 200 years ago. White Greeks were slaves. The Arab/Ottoman slave trades (made mostly of white captives) flourished during the 16-and-1700s.

Replying to someone trying to argue in good faith, "We obviously disagree on some pretty basic facts. Have a nice day!" would generally be considered impolite in real life, so I suspect most people are reacting to that. If he had just used some polite, meaningless social courtesy, like "I don't have time to discuss this right now", then it would be less controversial.

I don't really find this objectionable. Maybe we have differing definitions of "Islamist regime"? If I imagine, say, the Taliban or ISIS in control of a country with nuclear weapons capability, I wouldn't blame our leaders for ordering a nuclear first strike.
