Did you catch it? Hint for yesterday's Wordle: the fastest feature platform to get ML into production Hope you all got it in one 🤓

Chalk GTM is quickly growing bi-coastally! 🗽 🌉 I'm looking to add a handful of AEs and SDRs in both our NY and SF offices this summer. If the idea of scaling a true GTM engine in the AI/ML space gets you up in the morning, I'd love to chat. JDs in the comments :)

Last night the Chalk SF office took a break from shipping code and dove into some Yoga Flow at Folk NOPA. What a fun and relaxing way to ease into the week! 🧘♂️ 🧘♀️

Welcoming Ari Bennett to the Chalk team today! Ari will be our first dedicated Infrastructure Engineer to build scalable and automated systems across the entire (and rapidly growing!) Chalk customer base. We're so pysched to have you aboard!

It’s been a busy summer for our engineering team here at Chalk! 😎 Check out our Summer Product Update summarizing some of the exciting things our engineers have shipped recently! Highlights include: -A gRPC engine that enhances performance 2x through improved data serialization, efficient data transfer, and a migration to our C++ server -Using SQL in offline queries so teams can pass spine sql queries to offline queries instead of passing input data directly -Adding heartbeat monitoring for long–running queries to our observability stack! …..and more!

Machine learning has long found itself in the toolkit of many fraud and risk engineering teams. Yet dated and underpowered tooling has often left ML teams plagued with headaches that have them worrying more about infrastructure than iterating. Today on The Chalkboard, we break down how leveraging a feature store drastically simplifies shipping production-grade fraud models. Check out “Feature Store at Work: A Tutorial on Fraud and Risk”!

Today is a big day for Chalk! We're super excited to announce our second office in New York City! With the opening of Chalk NY, we are able to tap the awesome talent the East Coast has to offer, and help foster the burgeoning AI and ML community. We are hiring across the board from SWEs to MLEs to GTM - if you're interested in joining us here in Chalk NY please check out chalk.ai/careers.

We are thrilled to welcome two amazing new members to the team. Marta Adiatoulin, our amazing Office Manager, joined last month and has already done amazing work both in the SF office, and helping us find a new space in NYC. Thank you, Marta and welcome! Brian Sussman, CPA just joined us this week as our Operations Associate. He will be helping with our finances, operations, and many other wonderful things. Brian really impressed the team with his personalized emails and videos about why he wanted to work at Chalk. It certainly got our attention. Welcome to the team, Brian!
