Welocalize | Los Angeles, CA (Santa Monica) | Lead Developer

We help Google, Harley Davidson, PayPal, Expedia, John Deere, Blackboard, Marriott, Cisco, and many more demanding brands get to market around the world by providing a global localization workforce.

----------------------------------------

About the project

----------------------------------------

We already have an automated supply chain and internal project and accounting systems. we now want to build:

- predictive models to estimate the output quality and delivery date of a task, at every stage of execution

- a work assignment system to decide which worker in our pool should be assigned each incoming task

- tools that use NLP, machine learning, and signal analysis to analyze incoming content and improve the signal for our predictions

- web applications(s) to help our supply chain management team better analyze the worker pool, run training campaigns, discover at-risk tasks earlier, and generally benefit from the smart stuff we're doing

We're starting a new team in Santa Monica to focus on this. Starting with two developers and a data scientist (plus some extra support), we'll build an MVP and pilot it in production with some of our largest clients.

----------------------------------------

Who we're looking for

----------------------------------------

Looking for an experienced senior developer who has built complex production web applications.

Skills needed: - Able to take the lead on making design decisions, setting standards in a team, and resolving issues

- Able to learn new programming languages

- Able to assess the merits of frameworks and 3rd party systems

- Basic knowledge of html / css / javascript (e.g. to build simple admin screens)

- Know enough linux and AWS to set up servers and clusters

- Willing to help steer the product direction

Nice to have:

- knowledge of Rails or Django (so we can reference the design of these frameworks when discussing how to set things up)

----------------------------------------

What we offer

----------------------------------------

This is a chance to build systems from scratch in whatever technologies we choose, while gaining data science and machine learning chops.

We are a stable, profitable company, and will not be asking for death marches.

We have 401k match, health insurance, and other typical benefits. The environment will be flexible and informal.

----------------------------------------

Tech stack

----------------------------------------

I'm thinking we should consider using python as our main backend language, since many of the toolkits on the data science side use it. But we're going to have a heterogeneous environment regardless. I'd be fine with using Go, Scala, Rust, Elixir, or some other hot language for some of our stack if it helps interest the right person.

If you have any interest in this, please email me directly: doug.knoll@welocalize.com

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You're giving instructions from our 'alternate' installation method information. Thank you and have a great day.

Those are the only installation instructions for linux. Plus, it doesn't really matter that they're "alternate" if they're bad and PIA knows it (there have been multiple complaints about this on the PIA forum.)

We have a client for linux as well.
