If you are wondering how your magical skill-set in data analytics can create tremendous value in a hundred billion dollar industry, this is your answer!

We are a team of MIT grads and Y Combinator alum. We are building a pillar platform that aggregates the businesses's data in the parking industry to eventually solve the notorious parking searching problem. To start with, we provide a SaaS solution that collects, analyzes, and visualizes data for parking businesses to help them significantly improve their business performances. This is an industry that generates hundreds of billion dollars a year worldwide, but still mostly uses paper and Excel to analyze their business data. We clean and structure the raw data, then apply machine learning and optimization techniques to predict occupancy rates over time. Using predictions, we dynamically lower prices to increase the utilization rates of parking spaces. It helps garage owners make more money and help customers find parking more easily at the same time.

We are eager to meet you if you are:
- A firm believer of the value of data analytics in traditional industries, and obsessed to use math to solve real-world problems;
- A data guru who can quickly parse, manipulate, and analyze data from multiple sources and formats;
- Proficient in Python. Experience with Python analytics libraries (numpy, pandas, etc.) is a big plus;
- Familiar with Linux development environments. Familar with SQL and git;
- Experienced in machine learning, statistics, and optimization.

DESCRIPTION
Want to use your design skills to bring a $30 billion industry (USA) into a new age? Smarking welcomes you!
We are a team of MIT PhDs and Y Combinator alumni that collect, analyze, and visualize real-time data for parking businesses. The parking industry generates $30 billion in revenue a year in the US alone, but still uses paper and Excel spreadsheets to analyze their data. This leads to bad customer service, and millions in untapped revenue.
Starting from messy raw data, we produce beautiful charts and dashboards for parking managers to help better understand their operations in real time. We also visualize data for parking customers to help match the supply and demand.

Responsibilities:
- Produce beautiful mock-ups of charts that visualize real-time data, historical data, and predictions
- Design intuitive user interfaces that make it easy to find aggregated data (e.g. Average occupancy on Saturdays, revenue from people arriving at 5pm, etc.);
- Work closely with clients and users to understand their needs and blow them away with awesome designs

Requirements:
- A strong portfolio that demonstrates your ability to design beautiful user interfaces (e.g. personal website, dribbble, behance, cargo etc).
- Be self motivated: Have the drive to take charge in projects from the initial client engagement to deployment.
- Great communication skills: Should be able to effectively articulate your design decisions to both clients and developers.
- Have a basic foundation in front-end web development (HTML, CSS, Javascript).
- Experience building mockups using software such as, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Sketch

Things that will make you stand out:
- Advanced front-end development skills and experience with front-end frameworks such as AngularJS and D3.js
- Extensive experience working with CSS3 animations
- Able to produce animated mockups using Photoshop or After Effects
