The best way to describe working here is to describe my last month: I built a document classifier (based on max entropy), a backbone.js app, fixed bugs in django-tyrant-cache and started building a NoSQL database which supports color-based queries ("find all the items with color similar to #df3426" [1]). Your job will be to do similar things.
(If all that stuff sounds out of your league, it sounded out of mine too, until I got started.) We use javascript, python/django, hadoop, and haskell, though we really don't care if you've never touched any of those technologies.
Contact info is in my profile. Send a link to your github or other work you've done if you are interested. Here is our github: <a href="https://github.com/styloot" >https://github.com/styloot</a>
[1] We aren't jumping on a silly NoSQL bandwagon. It's very easy to compute l^p distances on RGB records in your favorite SQL database, but RGB doesn't map very well to human perception of color.
