San Francisco, Thumbtack. H1B welcome. (You probably haven't heard of Thumbtack. We've been flying under the Silicon Valley radar for quite some time.) Thumbtack is a new way to find and hire people to help you get things accomplished: whether a DJ for the party you're throwing this weekend, a contractor to renovate your kitchen, or an SAT tutor to help you prep for exams, or anything else, Thumbtack will help.

Securities and Exchange Commission

Is financial regulation important to you? Do you think the SEC could do a better job at it? If so, consider this an invitation to come help out and make algorithmic regulation a reality.

I’m part of the SEC’s Quantitative Analytics Unit (QAU) – a small team of engineers and quants embedded within the SEC’s examination process. We have a dual mandate:

(1) Support the examinations of financial institutions (go to interviews, analyze data, etc…)

(2) Develop tools to for our team, and the SEC at large, to use. These tools can either be for making #1 more efficient or for expanding the reach and capacity of the SEC.

Our first tool to be deployed, the National Exam Analytics Tool, is already in production [1] but we are just getting started & we’ve yet to begin the most interesting challenges.

If you’re a great engineer (or great at machine learning, we are hiring both) that wants a place to grow while making an impact on the public good, I'd love to hear from you at martinow [at] sec [dot] gov.

Title: Software Developer (Senior Science Advisor)

Salary Range: $112,124 - $191,913

Location: (preferred) New York City, San Francisco, or Boston.

Requirements: U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents (Green Card holders).

What the QAU is like:

- The atmosphere is intellectual and collegial – somewhere between a startup and a research group.

- We take a FOSS approach to our projects and experimentation with new (and old) technology is encouraged.
