Berkeley/San Francisco - Full-time
Captricity transforms stacks of paper forms into structured data faster and cheaper than anyone else. Our technology can greatly improve the efficiency of low-resource organizations working in the world's most disadvantaged communities. Our first customers work in Mali, Ghana and Sierra Leone. We use computer vision, machine learning and information-theoretic principles to guide an army of online workers (MTurk for now). Our workers love our tasks. Captricity has 5 full-timers, top-notch investors and seed-funding. The product is in private-Beta.
If you want to save the world, and have shipped complex, production web-services / user-experiences, drop us a line -- we're looking for:
1) a senior engineer to be the lead member of our technical staff.
2) our first full-time UX designer
