| BuildZoom is a marketplace for remodeling services that takes a data-centric approach to solve a big market problem. Imagine you're looking for a contractor to remodel your home: the old approach sends you to a list of contractors, paying for inclusion. BuildZoom's starting point is 3.5 million - every single contractor licensed to work on your project. We then drill down, using 15-years of historical permitting data (50 million total) to find the best candidates for your specific requirements. BuildZoom then streamlines the hiring process to make things as simple and safe as possible. BuildZoom currently supports over 600,000 monthly visitors and we're growing rapidly. We're looking for a supremely talented engineer with expertise dealing with large data sets, for a leadership role in our company. Here are some of the problems we're working on right now: 1. Allowing users to visualize current remodeling activity in their neighborhood so they can find and hire a contractor with local expertise. Challenges include accurately geo mapping remodeling permit data to specific property coordinates; ensuring low page load times as users navigate around on a map. 2. Help users visualize seasonal pricing info for different classes of projects so they can hire at the perfect time. Challenges: processing and delivering complex statistical data while ensuring consistent performance of charts in areas of the site getting hammered by users. Requirements: 1. Expertise in structuring and managing large data sets
2. Ability to get immediate productivity while balancing long-term goals
3. Relevant academic/professional experience
4. Experience with probabilistic classifiers (e.g. Naive Bayes) and statistical analysis is a plus
5. Passion for using data to empower consumers and improve the status quo Perks 1. Opportunity to be the lead data engineer at a start-up that is solving a big, real world problem
2. Competitive equity, salary & benefits
3. Great HQ located near Caltran
4. Work with a talented, diverse team
5. Flexible work schedule that places a premium on productivity If you're interested in having a conversation with one of the founders to learn more, e-mail us at founders@buildzoom.com |
