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 marketshare 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:

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@)
