Original posting

San Francisco, CA Hiring Data/Python engineers. We're Close, a seed-funded startup (6 people) based in SoMa. We're mainly looking to expand our Python-based data team, but if you have Rails or front-end experience we're happy to chat too. We're open to folks doing consulting projects, as we have a bunch of experimental data ideas we want to investigate, but our goal is full-time. We're building a platform where business gets done. Our goal is to build out great data intelligence about people, the people they do business with, and the industries they operate in. Two of the things we do right now: help founders raise funding by analysing investment behaviour, and figuring out who's likely to be interested in their specific startup -- and which of those investors they already know. We also help companies get acquired by matching them with acquirers who want their skills and products. We're opening our beta tomorrow(!) and we're moving fast -- there's a lot of potential for impact and real serious contribution. So fast we don't have a /jobs page yet. :) Data Engineer Looking for engineers with solid Python experience to work on one or more of: data API integrations, data modelling, machine learning and classification, NLP, API design, visualisations. We have a bunch of experimental projects we'd like to start investigating as well as some high-priority work on our core data pipeline.
