SEEKER FREELANCER - Boston/NYC - Remote OK
You will be working with a startup developing real-time prediction algorithms on manufacturing production-line data. 
You will be responsible for using machine learning algorithms to develop real-time “big data” predictive models.
You will need to be able to collaborate very closely with other team members on a frequent basis.
Responsibilities:
  - Using cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to develop real-time predictive 
    models on big manufacturing data sets.
  - Development of effective data visualizations to communicate data features

Ideal Requirements:
  - Experience with machine learning techniques including stochastic gradient descent 
    and regularized regression (LASSO, Ridge, Elastic-Net)
  - Experience with dimensionality reduction techniques such as PCA, SVD, 
    dictionary learning
  - Knowledge of basic linear algebra (eigenvectors, eigenvalues)
  - Experience with data visualization techniques
  - Experience with python development, including features such as multiprocessing, 
    shared memory, and unit tests
  - Experience with development using python packages such as numpy, scipy, pandas, 
    matplotlib, scikit-learn, and pymongo
  - Experience with database systems such as MongoDB and Redis
  - Experience with asynchronous web communication with packages such as Socket.IO
  - Experience with Git and collaborative coding
  - Experience with Ubuntu/EC2 development environment
  - (Nice to have) experience with Hadoop/Map-Reduce development
  - Previous experience developing predictive models
  - Previous experience developing data visualizations
