Factual - Los Angeles, San Francisco, Shanghai

Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.

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 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.

You can email me personally at alexr@factual.com, or view our job postings and apply directly via Jobvite: http://hire.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Careers.aspx?c=qc99Vfw9&...

Software Engineer | True Link Financial | San Francisco, CA

Did you ever want the code you write to make the world a better place?

We are a young startup focused on protecting the elderly and other underserved communities from financial abuse. Our first offering is a pre-paid debit card that blocks undesirable transactions in real-time.

At its core, it’s a Java server connected to the major card networks with multiple instances spread geographically. It responds in 10-20ms, and has to stay that tight for us to grow. Understanding distributed systems (construction, diagnosis, and management) is key.

We also have a large Rails stack for our customers and our own rapidly evolving business. Join us, and you can touch it all: front-end, back-end, asynchronous queue-driven workers, real-time rules processing, complex calculation engines, mobile, etc.

All of this great technology helps make someone have a better day. We offer a mixture of salary and equity, and the chance to work with an amazing team of people across a range of disciplines. If all of that sounds good to you, let’s talk.

Because of the stage of the company we unfortunately cannot consider candidates with minimal experience (e.g. recent dev bootcamp graduates). We need people that have professional experience working as an engineer. We are also only looking to make an in-house, full-time hire here in San Francisco and cannot support part-time, remote, or contract work at this time.

To apply for a job, email jobs@truelinkfinancial.com.
