Custora (YC W11) - http://www.custora.com - New York, NY - Engineering and Data Science

Marketing used to be an exercise in one-to-many communication: billboards, magazine ads, and - more recently - having a powerful social media presence. At Custora, we’re helping to turn this model on its head, using mountains of data to help our customers direct the right campaigns to the right users rather than blasting the same message to the largest audience possible.

We're growing quickly and looking to fill positions from Front-End Engineering to Data Science. We're analyzing data for well over 500,000,000 end customers, and this number is growing fast. We're building a marketing experimentation platform that's usable by entire marketing teams and we need your help to build new statistical models, to build the infrastructure to run those models, and to develop creative and intuitive ways of presenting our findings to our users.

We code in Rails, Angular, and Couscous, our distributed computation framework that runs statistical models with R and Spark.

Our job postings are at https://www.custora.com/careers. I'm more than happy to answer any questions and tell you more about us, so feel free to reach out to me at martin@custora.com.

Pivotal | ONSITE SF, NYC, Palo Alto and many, many locations worldwide | Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Data Scientists | Visa and relocation assistance First things first. We look for aptitude over APIs. It doesn't matter whether your resumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, know some stuff and have empathy, we want to work with you. Pivotal's goal is to change the way the world makes software and we kinda…

You'll never get feedback on rejection during this company's interview process in my experience.

Did you ask? We can usually give some feedback.

That said, we are still improving our hiring workflow -- I have my own list of pet peeves. We've gone from dozens to thousands in a few years; turns out it's easier to scale software than hiring.

Edit: speaking of asking, I asked some more about our feedback. Sometimes it's hard to give specific feedback, sometimes it's not easy to be tactful, sometimes the interviewer can't point to single concrete examples rather than a vibe arising from tiny observations and so on. On top of that there are multiple people involved in giving hire/no-hire opinions and several people coordinating different parts of the logistics.

On top of that we go through a lot of interviews every week, only a few of whom we hire. The only people with a sufficiently global view of the decision are directors, and they're too swamped by all their duties to give detailed feedback to every candidate.

So on the one hand, we can't always give feedback, so my original statement was wrong. On the other we default to saying no, because even if we wanted to always give feedback, we simply couldn't handle the volume.
