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 an interest in developing a great site for a community (like Jerad), we're always looking for more to join us: http://www.kaggle.com/careers

Jerad's a great dev and a great person. You guys did well!

Oh, nice -- until I saw your comment I wasn't aware Jerad was a Louisville local! Congrats Jerad, and congratulations to Kaggle!

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).

Love that idea. Thanks!

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
