About Us

At SoarTech, our focus is in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) that reasons like humans do, to automate complex tasks, simplify human-machine interactions, or model human behaviors. Our philosophy is three-fold: to be an augmentation to, not a replacement of, the human; to think top-down, not bottom-up; and to be transparent so that decisions and processing are communicated to the human and in human-like terms.

SoarTech is growing and we are looking for individuals interested in helping research, develop, and implement this exciting technology into everyday operations.

Job Description

We are looking for software engineers who will help contribute to research and development projects by working closely as part of a project team that is responsible for developing AI technologies that solve sophisticated problems.
