####Seed-funded data-centric startup looking for engineers!
We're a young startup looking to build out our engineering team with more early engineering hires. This is a great opportunity to get in with a funded company and make a huge impact with early stage product development.
Fundamentally, we're focused on understanding your professional network to make you more effective at doing business. Our premium dealmaking platform connects people to exclusive business opportunities and helps members uncover value hidden in their contact lists. If you've ever had to scour your network for investors, mentors, jobs, potential employees, or any other kind of connection -- you've experienced the problem we're solving. We're starting out locally, helping startups raise funding by connecting to the right investors (analyzing the founder's network and company to figure out who to connect to, why, and how).
We're doing a lot of data processing, modelling and analysis and we'd like to grow this team to do even more! If you have experience with using Python for data analysis, scaling data tools, machine learning/natural language processing, and taxonomies/ontologies we'd love to hear from you. Contract is a possibility (we'll probably do a test project first, either way). It's a really interesting data problem and one that's fundamental to human nature, so an interest in systems, people and business would be helpful.
If you speak Rails, we also have a Rails-based web frontend and we're actively looking for someone to take ownership of that part of the product.
Please ping me if you're interested - @jennielees, mail at jennielees dot net - thanks!
