- Has an M.S. or Ph.D. degree in CS or a related technical field (E.g., cognitive science, math, statistics, linguistics, etc.) and an exceptional record at solving challenging problems.

- Has had a minimum of 5 years of professional coding experience, ideally with top search / advertising tech / or data mining oriented companies, as well as experience managing others in a team.

- Is experienced with some or all of the following: data mining and statistics, systems architecture, search technology, building large/scalable web services, hadoop, lucene/solr, AWS, Twitter API, Twisted framework.

This position comes with significant equity, competitive salary, health benefits, a great computing setup, and flexible working conditions.
