Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.

Factual’s location platform enriches mobile location signals with definitive global data, enabling personalized and contextually relevant mobile experiences. Built from billions of inputs, the data is constantly updated by Factual’s real-time data stack. We were recently named one of "50 Disruptive Companies in 2013" by MIT Technology Review. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Facebook, Yelp, Trulia, and Newsweek.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. A great example is one of our most recent products, Geopulse Audience, which stands at the intersection of high quality places data and large scale analysis of user geo-data: http://www.factual.com/products/geopulse-audience . If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure (http://www.factual.com/jobs/clojure), machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop.

You can email me personally at jake@factual.com, or view our job postings and apply directly via Jobvite:

Definitely exceptions. I was a humanities major. Listing edited. :)

Actually, I meant is a degree really required? Personally, I left college with a couple of years left to go, when I realized I could make just as much money without a degree as with one, and I could teach myself anything I needed to know, anyway. (I haven't regretted it in 15+ years of professional programming, for what it's worth.)

Also fine.

I bought access to your GRE Prep site last week; using it was a nightmare. I am delighted to see this post.

sorry about your poor experience with GRE Prep :( what didn't you like about it? my team doesn't do the GRE products but I will certainly pass along your thoughts.

You're a kind soul.

The login was rather convoluted, and it implored me to keep re-registering my book. So I wound up with three registrations of my book. The system didn't record when I completed a practice test or quiz, so I couldn't access old work. The tests/quizzes themselves were often missing exponents in the answer keys; additionally, there were a few with contradictory answers (on one, it said "(B) is correct... (B) is obviously incorrect", or something to that effect).

It also crashed and booted me in the middle of practice tests twice.

The R&D Data Scientist job listing doesn't seem to mention the possibility of telecommuting. Do any employees currently work remotely? Also my email address is jackmaney at gmail.com

We do have remote employees, but none on the R&D team ... yet. We want (and need) to change that to hire the best folks available.

indeed! NYC >> ATL :)
