1 points by nickporter ↗ HN
Hello, I'm nick from 42 (YC W14) (http://42debut.com)! We are looking to hire engineer/computer scientist #0.

We're building the best point-of-sale analytics software for retail.

Our customers are not mathematicians, scientists or engineers; They run their business using intuition and excel. We can do better. In the past few months, we've built a product that provides more value than the multi-million dollar consulting packages offered by our competitors. We're going beyond just simple reporting, and we'd love to tell you more about this in person.

What we have:

- Large, raw datasets from big-name retailers. You can't get these anywhere.

- Our own JSON-based query DSL (think mongodb/elastic search), that allows for ad-hoc queries from our client.

- Microservice architecture.

- Pretty sick client-side angular dashboard.

- Node-based ETL pipeline.

We're looking for an experienced hacker that will play a pivotal role in the success of 42.

- Proficient in at least two of these: JS / CoffeeScript, Python, R, Java, C++, Scala, Julia, Go, Haskell, Ocaml, or whatever!

- Familiar with modern frontend stacks (we use AngularJS heavily)

- Passion for data and visualizations, graphics experience a plus (we use d3).

- Basic knowledge of statistics

- SQL/noSQL database experience (we're currently using Postgres)

- (bonus) Experience dealing with obscene amounts of data

- (bonus) Experience with ETL or data processing system design

- (bonus) Distributed systems architectures

- (bonus) Data mining and machine learning experience

- (bonus) Experience with Hadoop, Spark, Storm, etc..

- (bonus) Devops, Docker. We use Gentoo in prod.

- (bonus) Early stage startup experience, experience with hiring, etc.

We're an angel-backed, early-stage startup, so we'll hook you up:

- All the gear

- Full benefits package

- Equity & options as early employee

- We're based in SF, and we'll help you relocate if need be.

If that sounds good, send me an email: nick+careers@42debut.com

We're also looking for dev interns, so feel free to apply!
