Lots to optimize! ****************** === Crib notes === ****************** - Clojure, Rails, Javascript, Python (we use a lot of PySpark) - Spark, pg, redis, kafka, accumulo, docker - We have one of the world's experts in Deep Learning on our team - We eat + drink together a lot... wino wednesday, whiskey thursday (though I think we should rename it to thirsty thursday), foodie friday ******************* === Looking for === ******************* - Front end tech lead - Back end tech lead - Firmware engineer If this sounds interesting, please shoot us an email at jobs@weft.io!
