CLVmetrics |Lead Front-End Engineer - Early Employee | Philadelphia, PA w/ NYC 2016 | Onsite w/ some Remote

CLVmetrics (http://www.clvmetrics.com) is a technology company with a simple but important belief: companies should treat their customers differently based on each customer’s lifetime value (CLV) to the business.

Our goal is to enable firms to do so by providing access to the cutting-edge statistical models of co-founder Wharton Professor Peter Fader that forecast customer behavior far into the future.

To accomplish this goal and allow companies to implement customer-centric marketing strategies, our world-class team of statisticians, marketers, and engineers is building an enterprise-grade cloud-based analytics suite to commercialize our own award-winning research on consumer behavior, marketing theory, and statistics.

Our team has the technical expertise across stack to implement our models at scale, and we are looking to add an expert front-end developer to the team to help us design and develop a stunning front-end that will allow our customers to discover novel insights about their customers, develop marketing interventions around CLV, and track the results of those actions.

Our front-end is being built using AngularJS and d3 for visualization. Candidates should be comfortable with these or similar frameworks/tools and also have a strong sense for UI/UX.

The key issues that you will face are:

-Presenting a new metric: Predictive CLV is a new metric that has never been accessible before. The success of its penetration depends critically on effective communication to our clients.

-Visualization of massive data sets: We need to present output from millions of customers and billions of transactions in an elegant and simple-to-understand fashion.

-Design for different stakeholders: We need dashboards and visualizations appropriate for a range of audiences from performance marketers to the C-suite.

If these engineering challenges excite you, please contact justin@clvmetrics.com.

I wrote a way to search these recently ... just paste this in your console: https://gist.github.com/kristopolous/19260ae54967c2219da8 There is both OR and AND support here. If you specify your function parameter as an ARRAY then it operates as an AND, otherwise each argument is an OR. For instance, to see posts that are remote and python OR remote and ruby, you can do query(['remote','python'],['remote','ruby']); The…

Mavenlink empowers businesses to understand their productivity while providing the advanced project management, resource planning, collaboration, and financial tools necessary for improved profitability -- all in one place.

Our large Rails and JS codebase is pleasant and habitable due to our focus on well-tested code and continuous refactoring and improvements. Every Mavenlink engineer majors in code and minors in product; we all love working through data designs as well as complex user interactions. Whether its through pair-programming, flexible roles, or our obsession for quality, well-tested code, our engineers (from grasshopper to black belt) are always learning.

Did we mention that Mavenlink is an awesome place to work? You’ll have the opportunity to work in a fast-paced, energetic environment with a smart team that loves what they do. A fully stocked kitchen, ping pong table, and hackathons are just a few of the perks.
