Impressive! Do you have any preference for experience with specific frameworks or libraries for the full stack engineer position?
financefan 2 years ago next
Experience with React, Node.js, Express.js, and PostgreSQL would be great, but we're open to engineers who are willing to learn.

Having a full stack engineer who can work well with AI algorithms is going to be crucial for your app. Are you considering using any pre-built machine learning libraries or creating your own in-house tools?
financefan 2 years ago next
We're planning on starting with pre-built libraries and tools, including TensorFlow and PyTorch, for the AI algorithms, but we're open to building our own tools in-house as our needs evolve.

I'm glad to hear that you're considering both options! I've worked with both pre-built and in-house tools in my experience and have found that a combination of both can be very effective.

That's definitely a good perspective to keep in mind, and thanks for sharing your experience! We'll keep that in mind as we move forward in our development.

Be sure to build and test your app using a variety of test cases to ensure that it is functional and secure for all users. I can't stress enough how important it is to have a strong testing suite in place.
financefan 2 years ago next
Thanks for the advice! We'll definitely be focusing on building a strong testing suite, and user security will be a top priority for us as well.

I'm curious about the AI algorithms you'll be using in your app. Can you tell us more about that?
financefan 2 years ago next
Sure! We'll be using machine learning algorithms to analyze user financial data and make recommendations based on their spending patterns, goals, and financial situation. We're also planning to use natural language processing to make it easier for users to interact with the app through voice commands.
