Ness Computing. Los Altos, CA (H1B applicants welcome)

At Ness we're building a personalized search engine which combines personal data about an individual along with signals from their social graph and delivers uniquely tailored results for each query. Our first product focuses on restaurants and has been featured in the App Store since our launch 8 weeks ago.

Behind the scenes we're combining collaborative filtering and other forms of machine learning with traditional information retrieval to predict what users will like, explain our prediction to users, and rank what they will want to do in the moment.

Doing all this requires well architected, scalable systems for pushing lots of data and answering queries with minimal latency.

I know this is only the broadest possible overview and I'd be happy to talk if you'd like to learn more. My email is in my profile.

You can see the product at http://www.likeness.com

Lookout Mobile Security, San Francisco, CA - Full time https://www.mylookout.com/about/careers

I'm the data scientist here and like every other company we're looking for good people across the board. Lookout is the current leader in consumer mobile security, and we're aiming to keep it that way. We're a small, well-funded team tackling big problems on small devices.

Perks include: competitive salary, benefits, mobile phone of your choice, dream hardware setup of your choice, and a new office space in January when we move (We'll be on two floors at Market and 1st). There's also the standard start-up perks like a well-stocked fridge, craft beers on tap, and the fuzzy feeling that comes with shipping meaningful, net-positive products.

For engineering, experience in Rails, iOS, Android, and/or network/mobile security are awesome to have, but not required.

For data, it'd be cool if you had experience in SQL, R, Python, or Hadoop. If you're interested in machine learning and implementing it, then I'm interested in a conversation with you.

We're also looking for PMs and Lead UX Designers. Regardless of whatever job position you're interested in, send me an e-mail with questions, resumes, requests for beer, etc. to thomson.nguyen@mylookout.com. (Response guaranteed!)

Seattle, WA, San Francisco, CA, Palo Alto, CA and more - Splunk (full-time, H1B, interns)

A lot of people think Splunk must be a terrible place to work at because they think it is an "enterprise" company. But the truth is, we have great jobs for a lot of people. Want to work on awesome visualizations for gigabytes and terabytes of data daily? We got it. Want to work on building a development platform for an extremely powerful data analysis tool? We got it. Want to help make the core server that powers our extremely fast indexing and performance better? We got it.

Whether it's UI, core systems engineering, dev platform or anything in between, we likely have something for you.

I personally work on the development platform in the Seattle office, but I'm happy to answer questions about anything. Feel free to shoot me an email (in my profile), or comment here.

Also, check out our new dev portal which we launched recently: http://dev.splunk.com

Not interested in switching companies just now, but you guys do nice work -- my girlfriend and I used data from your site (through my insurance provider) to haggle down the price on a Subaru WRX this weekend.
