GitHub has lots of data. User data, repository data, event data, you name it. We need someone to aggregate it, query it, and report back to us really interesting things to help better serve our community. Being a number geek that realizes R isn’t just a letter and loves Hadoop is great, but you also have to be able to communicate well within our team.
Our data is stored in a variety of formats such as MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, Riak, and Graphite, so knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases and their associated querying languages would be useful.
We’d love if you’d work out of our San Francisco office, and we’ll pay to help you move. GitHub is a chance for you to come work with highly skilled, highly motivated professionals that are determined to build the best developer tools on the planet.
We provide an excellent compensation package: health, vision, and dental benefits + HSA contributions, competitive salary, and an open and friendly work environment. Read more about how GitHub works here: https://github.com/blog/920-how-github-works

- Pickaxe, pistol, and slide rule not included. We could probably buy a slide rule, though.
