Second Spectrum - Los Angeles, CA and Boston, MA - http://www.secondspectrum.com

Big data has come to sports, and Second Spectrum is using it to transform the sports experience, for everyone from coaches and players to the most hardcore or casual fan. We have trained machines to understand sports at a level of sophistication that exceeds that of most collegiate players. Using this machine understanding, we deliver analytics software that is helping eight NBA teams win more games, is enabling national broadcasters to tell better stories, and will give every fan their own personal sportscast.

We are looking for both full stack engineers, and machine learning and computer vision engineers. The responsibilities range from sophisticated GUI design that supports detailed but intuitive analytics, to front-end interfaces that will appear on national sports broadcasts, to scalable backend infrastructure that supports robust video streaming, to ML and CV engineering that enables the semantic layer that understands the game.

Hinge is hiring an exceptional data scientist in New York City.

Hinge is a dating app that uses data science to predict who you'll fall for. We're looking for a big-picture person to make a difference on a small team; someone who doesn't mind getting his or her hands dirty with Python, MongoDB, SQL, graph databases, AWS, shell, and the plumbing to connect them all into a live production system. Predicting love is a challenge, but connecting real people on an app your friends are using is very rewarding.

The main components of the job are:

* Improving the quality and performance of our production match recommender system (Python, machine learning, graph databases, Big Data!)

* "Data warehousing" all the things (ETL, SQL)

* Dashboarding and ad-hoc analyses (SQL, Python, web)

* General data-driven product development and growth

You get to work with one data scientist, a half-dozen engineers, and a lovely office of ~20 in Flatiron. Good people, benefits, catered lunches 2x a week, team field trips, challenging and meaningful work, and that warm fuzzy feeling.
