We know that sounds crazy... but we think it’s possible and we’re looking for great engineers to join our team. We are located in San Francisco and are backed by YC and other top tier investors.<p>Working at Zillabyte is not for everybody. Our work centers on modeling the attributes and relationships of every company in the world. It’s like a search engine for businesses but instead of indexing keywords, we index business properties. Hence, we spend a lot of time on AI, ML and other “Big Data” type problems. We make money by helping sales & marketing folks understand who their customers are and finding more of them. We can’t guarantee a 9-5 work schedule, but we can guarantee you’ll be working on some really cool original stuff, and that you’ll work with people who genuinely care about your success.<p>You will be among the first of our engineering hires. You’ll have the opportunity to wear many hats and own large chunks of the stack. A typical Zillabyte project may include:<p>+ Build a distributed crawler that uses PhantomJS (or similar) to extract features beyond what a simple curl-based crawler can do.<p>+ Invent a new machine learning algorithm that can identify patterns between our customer’s data and the rest of the world’s information.<p>+ Develop an intuitive JS visualization that succinctly describes the “DNA” of our customers’ customers.<p>+ Help develop our graph-processing framework on top of Hadoop.<p>+ Use a Bloom Filter to capture snapshots of the web, and alert our users when there’s an interesting change.<p>We strongly prefer senior engineers with at least a few years of experience. You’ll be exposed to a wide range of new technologies, and we’re really looking for people that can learn quickly and iterate.<p>The following positions are available:<p><i>Rails Engineer</i> ::
2+ years experience with Ruby on Rails.
