Semantics3 (YC W13) is looking to hire data scientists in Bengaluru

We semantically interpret and process terabytes of data everyday. This requires two broad skills: a) the ability to work with large-scale search indices and databases, and b) the ability to build and enhance algorithms that make sense of this data, in particular, for product matching (product disambiguation/record linkage). We’re looking for a data scientist who can meet these needs. Preferred profile: - Has worked with information retrieval tech (Lucene/Elasticsearch). - Is comfortable with NoSQL databases and scripting languages (Perl/Python). - Is familiar with NLP and ML techniques, but recognizes quick and simple approaches where they exist. - Believes that more data + heuristics can sometimes outperform fancy algorithms. - Has a Bachelor’s/Masters/PhD in Computer Science/Math/Physics/EE/ME from a top university. - Notable previous work experience in a challenging environment, ideally in e-commerce. - Can deal with the uncertainty and messiness that comes hand in hand with large datasets. - Can slot into an environment where respect is earned by shipping results. == Look forward to: - Being a critical member of a small and motivated engineering team. - Pushing your programming and analytical skills to the limit. - Coming in contact with new technology that may yet be years from becoming mainstream. == <To apply for this role, send in your resume at jobs@semantics3.com>
