MetaOptimize is hiring contractors for exciting project work building real-world NLP + machine learning systems. I have a lot of who cool project work for people who are good hackers, and can deliver fast and correct code and are self-starters. This is for remote, short-term gigs. You can set your hours. The only requirement is that you kick ass and add value from day one. Email your resume and/or github URL to joseph at metaoptimize dot com We are looking for generalists: * Hardcore programmers who learn new technologies and APIs quickly. * Experienced sysadmins, especially who have experience with AWS and EC2. And also specialists: * People with backgrounds in machine learning, natural language processing, information retrieval, and/or search. Medium experience is fine, you don't have to have a PhD. * Python/Django programmers * Java programmers Did I miss you? Send me an email anyway, and explain how you kick ass and are a self-starter. Example things you might work on: * Take this Python/Java program that operates in batch over textfiles, and convert it into a webservice (REST+JSON or XML-RPC or whatever) that operates real-time online (one document at a time). * I have a NLP tool but the output is dirty. Build these simple text processing components to clean it up, e.g. by discarding low freq terms. * Exploratory statistical analysis over data sets, to see if there are any interesting patterns. (More open ended) * Take this code for a neural network, and write scripts that batch invoke the NN with different hyperparameters to do model selection.
