Responsibilities

• Some of the work that you will be doing to help us deliver on our mission is:
• Make significant, self-directed contributions to components of large and impactful data-focused projects. You will think beyond just the task at hand to deeply understand the 'why' behind what you are doing.
• Work with data from the open internet that is at large scale-think of tens of millions of transactions per second.
• Utilize your strong sense of data intuition. At our scale, many off-the-shelf modeling techniques (open source and enterprise) simply don't work. You will work from first principles and intuition to develop solutions and adapt them to a unique environment.
• Leverage your broad familiarity with basic concepts in probability and statistics, along with exposure to basic foundations of computer science, graph mining, and machine learning.
• Think creatively, not bound by "the way things have always been done."
• You will have the opportunity, based on your interests and background, to work on problems related to graph mining and graph merging; algorithmic optimization on petabytes of data; and theoretical information approaches for best-subset selection problems .
• We are a global team with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. To complement this team, you will welcome ideas that are different from your own and be well-versed in building from common ground to value, seek out, and foster invisible and visible dimensions of diversity.

Requirements

• You have an abundance of curiosity and are eager to learn (and teach) new technologies / techniques.
