Factual’s location platform enriches mobile location signals with definitive global data, enabling personalized and contextually relevant mobile experiences. Built from billions of inputs, the data is constantly updated by Factual’s real-time data stack. We were recently named one of "50 Disruptive Companies in 2013" by MIT Technology Review. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Facebook, Yelp, Trulia, and Newsweek.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. A great example is one of our most recent products, Geopulse Audience, which stands at the intersection of high quality places data and large scale analysis of user geo-data: http://www.factual.com/products/geopulse-audience . If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure (http://www.factual.com/jobs/clojure), machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop.

Job Summary:

Catalyst is seeking a software developer to work on the backend platform which supports our text mining and prediction product lines. This platform has active customers and we’re beginning the process of transitioning the platform out of R&D and into daily operations.



You will write code and tests daily for bug fixes, enhancements, and new features. The bulk of the development is done in python with some shell scripting glue. The code ranges from basic operational scripting to shared libraries and multi-threaded service applications. The platform also integrates with a variety of services including RabbitMQ, Redis, Elastic Search, and Swiftstack.



Additionally, you may find yourself handling light systems administration, gathering feedback from internal product users, and communicating with a variety of staff to create and clarify specifications. Documentation, training, and other communication on behalf of a new platform may also be required.



Catalyst is remote work friendly and this role can be 100% remote. The project lead is also 100% remote. We use email, Jira, instant messaging, a wiki, google docs, and google hangouts for communication and collaboration.



This role will be hired in to the development department, but work closely with the technical lead in the research & development group. Candidates should be comfortable working across team boundaries. There will be flexibility in defining the responsibilities of this role.


Qualifications:

  * 1-3 years of software development experience
  * Strong written communication skills
  * Strong troubleshooting and reasoning skills
  * Willingness to work across technical boundaries
