Y Combinator-Backed People.ai is Hiring Engineers to Help Us Build AI for Better Team Management

People don’t quit their jobs, they quit their managers. Everyone has had a manager that makes them not want to come to work. Everyone has had a manager who regularly forces their team to chase their own tail doing meaningless work. Why? Because most managers manage their teams blindly. They don't hire, coach and promote based on data. Instead, they make decisions based on their gut, either because they don’t have the data to make better decisions or because they don’t know how to make sense out of it.

Not anymore. At People.ai we’re helping managers make decisions about their team based on data, not intuition. We’re starting with sales teams because they’re a particularly notorious black box. No manager today can definitively say what makes a “top performer” do better than a “low performer.” People.ai is solving that by making sales transparent and building the world’s first AI for managing sales teams.

We have a 10+ person team and are actively looking for a Senior Software Engineers to join us. Our team needs someone with full-stack/backend development experience as well as a deep background in Python, Linux, AWS, REST APIs and machine learning. Salesforce API experience is a plus! This isn’t just another job. Your input will be incredibly important as we’re currently shifting from to a microservices architecture. You’ll have an opportunity to make a major impact on a number of our microservices and ML/big data infrastructure as we are turning our MVP into a massively scalable product.

We offer a competitive salary with equity, a cool company culture, lunches and free snacks and drinks. At this time we are unable to provide visa sponsorship.

People.ai is located within walking distance of Caltrain in San Francisco.

Join us as we work towards quantifying people management!

Factual | Engineers and data lovers | Los Angeles, Shanghai | www.factual.com/jobs#openings

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 Bing, Apple, Facebook and Groupon.

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/Spark.

What did they do?
+1

Our schools simply do not teach critical thinking. Very few educational systems do worldwide, in fact. Students mostly just learn through repetition and rote memorization, and formulaic creative processes (standard five paragraph essay, multiple choice history tests, spelling bees, etc).

In addition, the state of our educational system right now (not just in the US, but worldwide) comes from an industrial tradition, not one in tune with the modern economy.

- Students are 'batch processed' in grades based on age regardless of ability

- Schools are designed to keep the kids somewhere while the parents work on a set schedule, with all school functions, programs, and systems assuming all parents have the same schedule, jobs, income, and parenting needs

- Students are taught the same things at the same rate--attempts to teach kids at their own level (tracking, advanced classes, special ed, etc) are often derided as 'unequal' or elitist. And yet we don't expect all adults to have the same skills or learn at the same rate or have the same talents, so why should we expect such of our kids?

- When it comes to higher education, liberal arts does a good job of teaching some degree of critical thinking but do worse at teaching hard skills. Vocational schools have the opposite problem. Either way, students aren't really equipped going into college to know what skills they will or won't need because their training up until then has been so misaligned with whatever path they may end up taking.

- Most importantly, students are stripped of their individuality in ways subtle and not-so-subtle. School uniforms, school dieting rules and food restrictions, sports culture, speech codes, pageantry around prom and various 'school spirit' initiatives and interschool rivalries, standardized testing, GPAs and school rankings, college admissions standards...

It's no surprise that kids who come out of this system become adults who follow all the processes and rules based on the rulebook rather than common sense (ahem, United), or fail to account for unexpected turns of events (2008 financial crisis), or fail to question authority figures (Bernie Madoff). And it's also not surprising that our graduates lack the sort of long-term strategic thinking and self analysis required to be successful in a changing economy with constantly changing rules.

We clearly need some sort of rebuilding of our education system to account for a modern economy where 1) Humans are not machines, 2) Adaptability and learning ability matter more than rote memorization, 3) Creativity is encouraged, and 4) Diversity in background, abilities, talent, and experience are strengths, not weaknesses.
I've heard they are worried about brand dilution.

If that's the problem, then why not create a subsidiary firm and call it, I don't know, Pear, Gala, McIntire, Darwin or something. Let this firm build hackintoshes from off-the-shelf components. The trick is then to remove any reference to Apple and every logo from the OS. People "in the know" would be able to buy a Pear and use it just like a Mac.

This would be really cheap to pull off, just give some people a factory and a few million dollars, and would put next to no strain on Apple proper. It's really just buying a few blessed components, putting them together, and creating a boot disk with the needed kexts. Any mom and pop computer shop can do that if it weren't for legal issues. In the next year's iteration you can talk about custom hardware / buying at scale.
I tried to explain to a historian with an open source textbook initiative the basics of latex. As soon as I opened the demo page that had looked nice enough, with him by my side, my heart sank. It's just so far away from being usable by non-technical users.

It's too bad, really.
The resistance to this would be so strong it would make 2016 look like a walk in the park.

This is not a well-liked person from nearly any community. It will be entertaining to watch if nothing else.
The rumor I always heard on Wall Street about Paulson was that he essentially stole the idea of the sub-prime short from other investors - but I have no idea if that is true.

Every bet he's made since has been terrible - I remember him being a part of the "hyperinflation" crowd buying up gold etc.

In general, this points out the flaws in both active management and hedge funds. For active management, we see that someone can have an amazing single year or event and then never perform again. For hedge funds investors, the sad story of the high fees and underperformance continues - it's a heads I win, tails you lose structure for investors imho.
I'm not familiar with those concepts (like Wiener Process), but I don't think notions of predictability should be mixed up with notions of determinism. Whether something is predictable or not does not change how deterministic it is.

I think the thing that is awful is the inhuman speed at which those shifts are taking place, and the callousness by those pronouncing the change to the fates of those left behind, because they are sure they won't be. If we are about to put a whole bunch of people out of work for the rest of their lives, we better be damn sure we have a safety net for them. Hope is the greatest of all the evils that escaped from Pandora's box, because it soothes a guilty conscience but does not effect action.
Another great achievement. I am OK with this becoming a regular boring affair.
Thanks. I tried doing corrective exercises but didn't find them to be any more helpful for pain than regular cardio or a cup of coffee (which surprisingly works pretty well as a pain killer)

I'm shifting my thinking more towards attacking the problem at the source, which I'm starting to see as the sustained tension of holding my arms in keyboard position. I never had this issue from, say, sitting and playing Nintendo as a teenager for hours, which you could also argue is unnatural.

ProsperWorks | iOS Developer | San Francisco, CA, US | Full-time | ONSITE https://www.prosperworks.com/careers

At ProsperWorks, we've built a CRM that sales teams love to use. We integrate
tightly with Gmail and G Suite to give our users up-to-the-minute data without a
lot of manual data entry. We have thousands of paying customers, top-tier
investors, real revenue and we're growing fast.

We're looking for an experienced iOS developer to join us. You will work closely
with our cross-functional mobile team of two iOS developers (I'm one of them),
two Android developers, two QA analysts, a product manager and designer. We work
steadily, collaboratively and iteratively to ship our native mobile apps every
two weeks.

Our iOS codebase is 75K+ lines of Objective-C, so a strong working knowledge of
Objective-C and Cocoa Touch is required. Like most mid-stage startups, we're in
the process of paying down technical debt as we build a solid foundation to
serve us through our "hockey stick" growth. We're committed to automated
testing, refactoring and improving code quality; we want to leave the code a
little better than we found it on every commit while shipping compelling new
features to our users every sprint.

if you have actual addresses, I'd mention this API - https://locate.pitneybowes.com/geocode - which is good for turning addresses into lat/long coordinates, which are probably better for spatial analysis. Of course, with map data, its always nice to actually just look at the data points in aggregate first.
Not everyone believes in intellectual property or in the notion that copying is theft.
To this I would add synchronous programming[1], which is particularly suited for interactive or concurrent programs and formal reasoning, and has had success in industry in safety-critical realtime systems. Examples include Esterel[2] and SCADE, and outside realtime, Céu[3] and Eve[4] (the latter is based on Dedalus[5], which combines SP with logic programming).

As someone who loves formal methods and believes most mainstream software systems today are mostly interactive and/or synchronous, I think this paradigm has a lot of untapped potential, and I'm glad to see it slowly move out of safety-critical systems into the mainstream, in languages like Eve.

That would also require re-doing all of mathematics in a constructive setting, which is a great idea as far as constructivists are concerned but it has both political and technical opposition. It's also the case that a proof in Coq doesn't have to be enlightening, especially if you discharge it with some inscrutable hammer-like custom-written pile of LTAC.
Running KDE Neon Inside a Docker Container
And in the extreme you have cases like Vancouver which introduced their Empty Homes Tax, unoccupied residential properties that are unoccupied attract a 1% of value tax. I would suggest at least a 2% tax as that matches the IMF's usual inflation target. I would also suggest that the money raised is spent on subsidising affordable housing. But home owners vote far more often than the poor or homeless so they don't want to see the last 30 years of value gains go down the toilet (let alone a margin call if they go underwater).

Snapdocs | Rails & Data & Product Engineers | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, http://snapdocs.com

Snapdocs (YC W14, SV Angel) is an early stage, rapidly growing company looking to fill a variety of engineering roles. (Growth, amiright?)

We're a small team tackling the absolutely massive mortgage market. We're bringing modern, elegant software to a field that still relies on fax machines and manilla envelopes. We bring security, efficiency and joy to a paper-based pillar of the US economy.

The type of problems we're tackling involve workflow, product design, data, and computer vision for mortgage documents. For data, it decides everything we do. We won't start work on a new feature until we can point to the numbers we hope to move.
Snapdocs' culture is one that trusts its team members to make smart decisions. This means we value both independent work as well as seeking collaboration. We're becoming ubiquitous in one segment of the market and we're looking to expand further.

Skills & Requirements
* Rails Engineer. 3+ years experience, but more is welcome. Ideally, you're a full stack coder. But in reality, you probably lean either towards the front or the back end. That's fine, so long as you know (and enjoy) your strengths.

* Front-end Engineer. 3+ years experience, but more is welcome. You have a deep understanding of CSS but prefer to use Bootstrap. Experience building reusable components a plus.

* Data wrangler. We're looking to double our Data team. AI! Advanced machine learning! An ability to read past hype-y buzzwords because we don't (yet) do those! We're taking a paper-based, non-standardized dataset and extracting insights to help guide product design and market forecasting. Stack agnostic, we’re more interested in your creative ideas/ability to self-execute than a resume.

* Being the 10th member of on a fast-growing technical team. This means helping to form a healthy and happy culture. We strive to be respectful of each other's time and point of view. We're learning how to do this together. We want to create a place where it's OK to fail, and that you know the team has your back the whole way through.

* Self-motivated. To us that means when you get an interesting problem, you will rip into it until you understand its nuances and perhaps have a glimpse of the solution.

* Empathy. We work closely with our customers, meaning phone calls, emails, and sometimes lunch. It is important in this job to listen to them so that we can build what they need and want.
