Highland Park, Illinois (near Chicago)

OpinionLab is hiring. We listen for, process, and analyze the feedback our customers' clients provide. You might have seen our [+] around the web.

We're looking for someone with a very good working knowledge of Python who can work autonomously. Ideal candidates would be comfortable digging into the depths of SQLAlchemy or Twisted (via pdb and/or the source) if Google or IRC don't produce quick results. Specific libraries or skillsets aren't required (trust me, I'll be interviewing you), but you need to be able to learn efficiently. You'll be working with a small dev team and asked to learn the full stack. We're building the next generation of OpinionLab products, starting with a new data processing architecture, so you'll have an opportunity to shape the company.

Everyone likes lists of buzzwords, so we are some things we use: django, tastypie, sentry, rabbitmq, salt, twisted, pypy, ruby, rails, gunicorn, nginx, sqlalchemy, mysql, postgresql, mongodb, redis, autonomy idol, virtualenv, supervisord, github, campfire, linux

Our work environment is very casual. You spec your own working environment (some like OSX, some like Linux, a small minority even do daily work in Windows) so that you are most comfortable (I'm a tmux+vim fanboy). You might find a dog or five in the office on any given day. We provide great benefits (see the linked official job spec[1] for details).

If you have any questions, I'm @emidln on twitter, emidln on skype. and badams@opinionlab.com via email.

Send resumes (preferrably with a link to bitbucket, github, or something else publicially visible) to careers@opinionlab.com

Two Sigma Investments – New York, NY (Full Time Positions) At our core, we're a technology company applying our talents to the domain of finance. We've created a system that combines artificial intelligence and keen human insight—a system that's constantly improving and advancing. We are looking for a diverse set of technologists to join our team. Our challenges require mastery of areas such as kernel level developme…

I had a bad experience with Two Sigma in 2007 - After spending half an hour on the phone, and then a further two hours writing code for a couple of programming problems, I never hear back from either the hiring manager or the recruiter. It didn't hurt me so much that I wasn't selected, rather they consider ~5 minutes of their time to compose a rejection email to be more valuable than ~2 hours of my time.

I had a similar experience with them in 2009. I went through the same first interview plus the problems plus another technical interview. The did, however, call me back and invite me for an on-site interview. While awaiting the details, I was informed by the HR rep that the on-site interview would not take place because his boss nixed my application due to my GPA* being too low. Why didn't they say so in the first place before wasting all that time?

* I had graduated 4 years earlier. Many companies don't care about GPA at that point.
