Hi Skunks, I posted this first on the Nairuby Ruby User Group <http://nairuby.org/> mailing list for obvious reasons … thought I’d share it here as well. There’s a good opportunity that is available for anyone with a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics … and experience in modelling data (the nuts and bolts of manipulating, processing, cleaning, and crunching data). Opportunity is in Cape Town or London. Benefits include an unlimited leave policy, chance to travel, a very casual office environment, awesome people from all over and awesome culture (to mention a few) ... Check these videos out for some of the interesting challenges we tackle on a day to day … Harnessing other languages to make Ruby better <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wYAcuWQ0YQ> PolyConf 15: Getting Ruby to speak Python with a LISP <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orfs7vokP-8> If you’ve read or are interested in something like “Python for Data Analysis: Data Wrangling with Pandas, NumPy, and Python <http://www.amazon.com/Python-Data-Analysis-Wrangling-IPython-ebook/dp/B009NLMB8Q>” by Wes McKinney … you’re probably a step closer. Feel free to shoot me an email with more questions or … forward CV to kingori@intellection.io. Ps 1: It’s a Ruby company but part of our codebase is in Python (the details are in the two videos above). Knowing Ruby, Rails or Python is an advantage but not compulsory. Ps 2: Not so interested in academic qualifications but more of what you’ve done or are doing … a good example would be any projects on GitHub etc. However an the right academic background may provide a good background. Ps 3: The guy in the video is the CTO (Brendon McLean). Ps 4: Not a startup. — King’ori Maina (kingori.co <http://kingori.co/>)
