Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2015)

Big data has come to sports, and Second Spectrum is using it to transform the sports experience, for everyone from coaches and players to the most hardcore or casual fan. We have trained machines to understand sports at a level of sophistication that exceeds that of most collegiate players. Using this machine understanding, we deliver analytics software that is helping eight NBA teams win more games, is enabling national broadcasters to tell better stories, and will give every fan their own personal sportscast.

We are looking for both full stack engineers, and machine learning and computer vision engineers. The responsibilities range from sophisticated GUI design that supports detailed but intuitive analytics, to front-end interfaces that will appear on national sports broadcasts, to scalable backend infrastructure that supports robust video streaming, to ML and CV engineering that enables the semantic layer that understands the game.

If you're interested in joining us, our jobs email is is work@secondspectrum.com. I'm also available for any questions you might have at noel@secondspectrum.com

Software Engineers

We're hiring fun-loving nerds at every experience level. While we primarily use Python (especially pandas and NumPy) and AngularJS, that is just implementation detail and you can interview in the language of your choice. We look for people who a hungry to learn, figure things out quickly, and love technology and math.

How would you handle distributed time series data? How quickly could you process and analyze unstructured news and events to understand the significance of each? When you design, prototype, scale and automate, do you watch out for bridges and hop-ons? You're gonna get some hop-ons [3]

A willingness to play bughouse, ticket to ride, and shoot zombies is a plus.
