D3 Front-End and Data Visualization Consultant (Up to 3 Months) - New York

http://www.gro-ventures.com

At Gro Ventures, we are pioneering agricultural supercomputing as a means to transform Africa into a breadbasket for the world in a span of 20 years. African agriculture is riddled with inefficiencies rooted in the lack of free-flowing, real-time information—a necessary component for data-driven reform and the creation of a truly functional commodities market. Data visualization is at the heart of agricultural supercomputing, defined as the integration of various technologies widely used around the world today to create the first real-time agricultural data analytics platform for Africa. Through agroinformatics and state of the art data visualization, we will for the first time in Africa’s history allow real time data driven decision making.

The project will consist of building several customized web visualizations based off the results of an agricultural study of several countries. We are seeking individuals or teams who can develop a visualization application consisting of pricing, yield, weather and various other economic and commodities driven data. You will work directly with our Head Data Scientist and Research Analysts to design and implement a state-of-the-art web visualization.

We are looking for talented, experienced engineers to work out of NYC for a period of 4-12 weeks depending on agreed upon timelines and deliverables. Candidates must be proficient in the following areas:

-Extensive Javascript and CSS experience. -Experience with one or more SVG or Canvas-based visualization toolkits, i.e. D3.js, or a keen interest in learning. -Know the ins and outs of websockets and AJAX communications with various backend data services. -Understand data binding and have used MV* frameworks enough to be dangerous. -Prior data analysis experience (even at the Excel level) very useful. -Basic understanding of financial concepts, including pricing and returns

Interested candidates should submit a resume or LinkedIn profile by email to info@gro-ventures.com with the subject line D3 Front-End and Data Visualization Consultant.

Placester is hiring:

UI/UX Designer

Customer Support Engineer

Customer Success Coach

Senior PHP Engineer

Senior Software Engineer

https://placester.com/careers/

Our Mission: Make the web work for real estate. Bridging the gap between real estate professionals and their clients. Real estate is the largest industry in the world. It’s also one of the most important—after all, everyone needs a place to live. Millions of consumers are looking for their next home online, and they expect the same kind of browsing and buying experience they get on sites like Amazon and Facebook. Unfortunately, real estate agents are struggling to provide that experience. That’s where Placester comes in. We’re creating an industry where it's quick and simple for real estate professionals to get their information on the web. Don’t let that simple description fool you. We’re addressing the hardest problem in the largest industry in the world. As you might have guessed, not everything is written on the home page yet.

Our Culture: Team. Join the team that makes a difference in a big, complex industry. Our culture is all about teamwork. That being said, we're composed of folks who are their own brand of brilliant, focused, fun, intense, and friendly. If you've ever worked on a high performing team you've experienced this mix before. You’ll be expected to get things done and be responsible for making it happen, without any bureaucratical mess. You’ll be expected to identify problems and solve them on your own. But more importantly, you may need to rally a friend or team to overcome them. Both are key tools on your belt. You’ll be expected to have an opinion because it will matter when shaping the outcome of your company.

Opinions are about courage: to speak your mind and to change it. Everyone laughs a lot over lunch. Topics range from the standard technical, tactical and whos-doing-what in the start up world; but they also weave through topics like the proper structure for the US debt, that great restaurant down the street or how to Sous-vide the perfect piece of meat. Brilliance isn’t one-dimensional.
