Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2015)

>I'm a data scientist here, and the question we work on is a fundamentally interesting one: Which users on the internet are human?

This is indeed interesting as a fundamental question. It might also be interesting to see how far one could go with the somewhat more applied question: which users on the internet are data scientist? I have been applying to data science and related positions for the last few months and now end up seeing various advertisement for "mapreduce this" and "deep learn that" which I found a bit mystifying as I can't many software engineering types that would actually want to click online advertisements.

Segovia | www.thesegovia.com | NY, NY | SF, CA | ONSITE | FULLTIME | Enterprise software to fight extreme poverty.

Segovia makes it possible to identify, verify, and deliver cash to people who lack access to banking. Over a billion people worldwide receive social protection or economic aid, but NGOs and governments operate anti-poverty programs without modern enterprise tools, resulting in significant fraud, waste, and delay. Our beneficiary enrollment and payment products dramatically improve the distribution of essential resources to those who are hardest to reach.

Segovia is a venture-backed, mission-driven, for-profit company, and we are hiring exceptional full-stack software engineers who share in our vision. Our team includes the founders of the cash transfer charity GiveDirectly and early engineers from Facebook and Foursquare. Our investors include Reid Hoffman, Omidyar Network, and Global Innovation Fund.
