Our platform continues to grow, in both mobile and web format, as we leverage emerging technologies to enhance the process of understanding rich conversation data.Cortico’s unique human/machine system is the product of an effort led by Cortico in cooperation with MIT’s Center for Constructive Communication (MIT CCC).

We think technology is best built by teams with a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences.

About our process We aim to review and respond to all applicants within three weeks of submission. Our interview process includes multiple rounds that include: An initial phone interview Time bound (2-4 hours) Python take-home assignment. The assignment will give you a chance to work with some of our data, but won’t involve building anything of value for Cortico. We want to make sure the take home isn’t extractive, but instead gives you an opportunity to assess what it may be like to build software with us. This will be reviewed by members of the Cortico engineering team. “On-site” Interviews via Zoom (with breaks!) 10-15 minute technical talk on any topic of interest to you, followed by answering questions from the Cortico engineering team. Meet with members of the backend team to discuss how you might expand upon the take-home exercise, and a short architecture conversation Conversation with a senior engineer and a member of our product team to discuss previous work experiences Reference checks. Through all of these sessions we make sure that you have plenty of time to ask questions of Cortico team members. Cortico maintains a strong policy of equal opportunity in employment. It is our objective to recruit, hire, and retain the most qualified individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation or identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic or status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
