Permutive (YC S14) — London, UK — <a href="
We're focused on understanding and recommending content at scale. We use ML/NLP techniques to algorithmically understand the meaning behind content and make sense of people's wide and nuanced interests based on their behavior.  Engaging content is the future of online monetization, and our first product is an intelligent ad engine for revenue-generating content.
We have a ton of interesting problems to solve.  We’re constantly ingesting vast numbers of documents to learn from, tracking millions of interactions with content, computing the interests of millions of users, and making personalized real-time recommendations.  This scale impacts every engineering decision we make, and we’re looking to build a company with people excited by the challenges it poses.
You'll want to have interests or experience in some of the following:
* Working extensively in functional languages (we mostly use Scala, with Akka, Spray, Scalaz; some Haskell).
* Building large-scale distributed systems (we run a microservices architecture on AWS)
* Designing and implementing proprietary machine learning models and real-time personalized recommendation systems
* Rapidly designing and building frontend product features
We’re a VC and Y Combinator-backed startup at the beginning of our journey. As one of our first engineers you'll play a central role in defining our tech culture and direction, have real responsibility and ownership, and have direct influence on product and strategy.
Apply by emailing REDACTED_EMAIL with your CV/resume and anything else that helps us know more about who you are.  Unfortunately we cannot sponsor visas at the moment so you'll need to be eligible to work in the UK!
