Cheers!

Be careful with this type of employment arrangements, though.

A relatively big US company (over 6,000 employees) used a PEO (Professional Employment Organization) years ago to hire me as a Senior Software Engineer. I worked there for 4.5 years, moving up the engineering ladder, as we normally do. Later, I interviewed at Apple, they extended an offer, which I accepted after a bit of negotiation. They started a background check and, unfortunately, I failed it because they found discrepancies between my résumé, the things I said during the interviews, and the employment contracts I submitted to HireRight (the company running the background check).

During the interviews, I talked about all the things I did at Company (A) when in reality all legal documents and paystubs said that I was (supposedly) working for Company (B), which may be true depending on how you look at it.

Obviously, I explained that Company (B) was simply an intermediary, and that all work I did was for Company (A). All references I provided from Company (A) come out clean, but Apple’s HR had already made up their minds about the background check, and that is how I lost a good job opportunity.

Ever since, I have been very careful about how I communicate that part of my work experience.

Gastrograph AI | gastrograph.com | Director of Data Science | Remote / NYC

*Director of Data Science* We are looking for an experienced Data Science Director to lead the team responsible for all data applications, including model building, model testing, benchmarking, data visualization, and model performance. Gastrograph AI empowers the data science team to own all phases of the model development process.

While Gastrograph AI has 10+ years of sensory data, the database fits in memory and does not require "big data" techniques. Instead of large amounts of low dimensional data, we have a small amount of very high value high dimensional data. Working with such a data set gives the team a strong preference for mathematically elegant and thoughtful models - we care more about a deep understanding of the underlying statistics than the possibilities of deep neural networks.
