When I saw Jerad's post on Hacker News, he looked like a good fit for a developer role at Kaggle. Our team interviewed him remotely and I met him in person and verified that he has the talent, curiosity, and life-long interest in software development that'll make him a great addition. We're really excited to bring him aboard. Thanks HN for helping us make a rare find! P.S. If you're into machine learning and/or have…

I'm looking to get more into the machine learning field. I've got some experience now, but looking to learn more. I'll probably submit through your site, but if you want to contact me directly that'd be cool too: hnjobs at inboxalias.com

I too had a good experience and had the opportunity to speak with many interesting people... however the only thing lacking was the visibility of my preferences. I wasn't surprised that the majority of people who contacted me were from SF but everyone who had seemed oblivious to the fact that I'm based in Canada, not interested in relocating, but love to work remotely. If we do another thread I will certainly try aga…

Did you put your location and whether you working looking remote or on site work on your post or did they ignore that?

I did and it seems to have been ignored or missed by plenty of folks.

This is good to hear. Congratulations Jared. On a different note, I replied in this comment because I would like to ask something. Are there any other job openings at Kaggle? The career page only shows product manager and data scientist. I think I'm a mix of data scientist and a backend engineer. But I don't think I have experience doing work in energy industry.

Apply anyway. If you fulfil every requirement of a job position, you're over-qualified (or quickly bored).

I had kind of the opposite experience; interviewed one or more times with a bunch of the "Who's hiring" companies and only one had the decency to send an email with an update; the others went into radio silence.

Me too. There were a few "Who's Hiring" companies where I went through multiple interviews- I even got a verbal offer from one- only for the companies to just stop responding to me.

Love that idea. Thanks!
