Second Measure | SF Bay Area (San Mateo), CA | ONSITE (relo ok) | https://secondmeasure.com Second Measure analyzes credit card data. We process billions of purchases to help investors (VC, growth, and hedge funds) answer questions like: - How quickly is Jet actually growing? - Is Lyft gaining or losing market share in Austin? - Does rain on Black Friday reduce Best Buy's revenue, or just shift it online? - (More examples: http://blog.secondmeasure.com/) We were part of YC S15 and launched in August: http://techcrunch.com/2015/08/10/second-measure-launches-off... We’re a 6-person team solving hard problems with really cool data. We’re looking for other strong builders, especially those who can grow into leadership roles: - Data Scientist (stats + ML; AWS, MTurk, NLP, and Spark helpful) - Data Engineer (Python/JVM; AWS; stream processing) - Software Engineer (frontend/backend/full-stack; Python/JVM/Go; D3; AWS; React/Angular) - UI/UX Designer (web; data viz) - Research Scientist (stats, R; SQL and Python helpful; PhD in behavioral/social/hard science or math preferred) - First business hire (BD / sales / strategy / operations) - Others (opportunistic) Competitive salary and substantial equity. We want our early team to have a large stake in our success. We have phenomenal traction and a strong, undisclosed seed round. Select investors include: Bessemer Venture Partners, Foundation Capital, Norwest Venture Partners, Shasta Ventures, and Y Combinator. We’re in downtown San Mateo, just minutes from Caltrain and 101. Email me directly, I’m a founder. (mike@)
