Vehicle Data Science Corporation is looking for employee number three to help design and implement software that processes and analyzes big spatial data sets. The company is an early-stage startup located in the San Francisco Bay Area with initial funding from a National Science Foundation grant. We use location data from vehicles to derive driving behaviors which we capture in a proprietary database. This database feeds applications in the areas of driver safety, fuel economy and autonomous vehicles.
We are looking for a smart, adaptable individual with plenty of skills and breadth in computing to build products from our data streams. By joining us today, you get a unique chance to engineer new technology from the ground up. Working in tandem with the company’s CTO, you will develop key algorithms, design original data visualizations, and deliver data insights to instruct the direction of our product development. Depending on your skills and inclinations, the position could evolve to become either a management or software architect role.
The right candidate will have a solid scientific foundation and a self-starter, small-company work ethic. A graduate engineering or science degree from a top-tier university is preferred. Familiarity with geospatial tools and database architectures are major pluses and other skills of interest include distributed computing, web programming, statistics, and time series analysis. Most of the initial code base is in Python, thus prior experience with that language is highly desirable.
The opportunity is huge and possibilities are wide open for the right individual. Come help us grow the company you want to be a part of!
