Junior Java Developer

Spideo started when cinephiles wanted to build a recommender system for the movie industry in 2010. Today, we’re an established 35 people diverse and gender balanced company. We’re opening a junior Java Developer position to help out the team in optimizing the development of our Entreprise Product.

We’re experts in delivering great content recommendations for our global clients and have a firm conviction that Artificial Intelligence creates wealth and knowledge when combined with Transparency, fair data Control and outstanding Human expertise.

Machine learning technologies brought amazing perspectives in the fields of semantic analysis and computer vision to light. They provide endless possibilities for content recommendation experiences. However explainability, and how recommendations can be fully transparent, understandable and interactive, is a dimension that is often sidelined and neglected. At Spideo we make it our mission.

Providing explainable predictions is an arduous task. But that’s the beauty of it. People define themselves by the movies they watch, the music they listen to, where they travel to, and all the cultural traits that make us who we are. This feeling of identification is the main specificity of cultural and creative industries. Individuals engage when they can rely on a trusted source that understands who they are, respects their integrity and their data. We use semantics and natural language to provide accurate, trustworthy and highly relevant suggestions.

Backed by over 10 years of interactions with our customers, we are driving our product development with two simple statements:

• Explanations matter as much as recommendations.
• Data Protection is a great opportunity for personalization.

You will be working on our Enterprise product that is currently being used by both French and international customers (TelCo’s and VOD platforms). We are looking for a Java expert who is willing to optimize the product and add features for our specific customer needs.
