About Scry Analytics:

Scry Analytics (www.scryanalytics.com) provides Big Data Science solutions to do predictive and prescriptive analytics (i.e., to "forecast the future") and our aim is to:

* Codify work-flows in the services industries so that they are well-defined & repeatable.

* Collate and harmonize client's data that is required for such work-flow systems.

* Provide Scry Analytics' proprietary data that improves the key performance indicators and the characteristics of such work-flow systems.

* Use our proprietary Big Data Science platform as well as deep Computer Science & Math algorithms to build decision support systems that improve the metrics related to these work-flows.

Although Scry Analytics provides analytics and Big Data Science services, our aim is to minimize these services by providing automation and software solutions (where we can). We are currently solving problems in the following domains:

* Retail

* Banking and Insurance

* Inventory & Transportation of After Market Parts; Maintenance

* Utilities and Telecom

* Health care

Since most techniques that Scry Analytics is using are taken from cutting-edge research, the kind of solutions that Scry Analytics is building are unlikely to be built by companies that provide data analysts in a staff augmentation mode or those that provide IT professionals. So, we are looking for Bachelors, Masters, and PhDs in computer science, data analytics or math that have a "research" or "advanced development" bent.

We're building a platform around transparency and connectedness to encourage responsibility and reward good decision making.

We are currently on the lookout for software engineers, along with a motivated security expert with in-depth knowledge of industry best practices to join our team. For more information please visit careers.addepar.com. Or email careers [at] Addepar [dot] com.

San Frqncisco (cow hollow) - ePantry is hiring our digital marketing lead. We launched exactly one year ago and have grown from zero to selling one heck of a lot of natural soap and sustainably-sourced toilet paper on the Internet. Marketing has played a huge role in this, led by our founding team, but our needs have now outstripped out abilities and we need someone more experienced than us to steer our efforts. We're looking for someone wth a strong voice that can strengthen our brand, and experience with email marketing. You should be reasonably quantitative, but also have opinions and instincts about what makes a brand great. This role reports to the CEO and will help us drive grown through multiple channels (though not so much CPC).

We recently closed our first round of institutional capital, have a fast-growing and lovely customer base, a terrific, sun-lit office, and have a couple of rescue dogs who nap under the desks and occasionally bark at the UPS man. Thus, we have all the tools in place for massive success - once you join us.

You can contact me - chris@epantry.com. Can't wait!
