Doohdaah has been described by the CEO of one of the world’s most successful VCs as "a great concept for the web". The application will involve millions of data transactions, accessed and queried across multiple platforms, languages and currencies – all in real time. Data just doesn’t get much bigger than this. This role is only for you if you can think really big and enjoy attacking and solving really hard, complex problems in creative ways. The role: As a technical co-founder, you'll work closely with the rest of the team of founders to build the core features and functionality that will have investors fighting to get in on the first round of funding. You will be tackling hard technical challenges in areas as diverse as rapid notifications to web and mobile users, bulletproof event and device syncing, API development and integration with some of the world’s largest commercial databases and apps for mobile devices. We’ll also be generating highly detailed custom analytics to feed back into a host’s demand-led variable pricing model. We want you to research and implement effective machine learning algorithms suited to each task at hand. In particular you will need to lead the design of the application architecture with scale baked in from the start. You will be developing software in a professional engineering environment. We run an agile shop - using version control, continuous integration/deployment, test driven development and automated infrastructure management as a matter of course. Our users will mainly be people who want to get things done in a way that they’ve never been done before. They’ll expect everything to look gorgeous, work beautifully and sync seamlessly into their lives. Part of your head will need to be very much in the real world so that people will comment that "it just works". You will need a good Bachelors Degree (minimum 2:1) in Computer Science or Computer Engineering and we’re very keen for you to have contributed to open source software projects. You will need to be able to demonstrate exceptional skills in a scripting language such as Python/Ruby, a web framework such as Django/Rails, RDBMS (MySQL or PostgreSQL) and NoSQL datastores (Redis/ MongoDB). You will need to be highly proficient at Linux system administration. Our application is very front-end heavy and as such your Javascript/jQuery skills need to be polished as well. You’ll be part of the team building the Next Really Big Thing and as such the jackpot’s in your equity stake. You're working hard to make the company successful, so you should share generously in the reward. If you're interested, send an email to mhalls-moore@doohdaah.com and we'll set up some time for you to talk with us. A bit about our team: We are based in London from where you’ll need to work. The team comprises the founder (who amongst other things wrote the first flight-planning suite to run on a ‘micro’ back in the 1980’s) an ex-McKinsey consultant working in FMCG, a legally trained business strategist and a corporate finance advisor who has led over 60 IPOs.

Normally, lenders determine who should get loans using a small amount of data bought from a data provider. When this data is missing or negative, the borrower is turned away. But why buy a handful of variables rather than use vast amounts of data provided by the customer, alternative data sources, and Internet crawls?</div><div class="paragraph_break"><br /></div><div>As it stands today, good people are being denied credit because old world processes don’t take advantage of today’s data-rich environment. In our worldview, all data is credit data, and we should use it all to make better loan decisions.</div><div class="paragraph_break"><br /></div><div>ZestCash offers excellent benefits for a start-up, including health/dental/vision/life insurance, we contribute to your 401K, provide paid parking, reimburse for cell phone, home broadband, and gym memberships.&nbsp; All this and free lunch & snacks as well!</div><div class="paragraph_break"><br /></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div class="paragraph_break"><br /></div> <p><strong>To apply:</strong> Send resume to <a>resume@zestcash.com</a> </p> 2012-02-01T14:24:24-0800 41816 http://ruby.jobmotel.com/jobs/41816 2012-02-01T20:26:37-0800 2012-02-01T14:24:25-0800 Founded by former Google CIO, Douglas Merrill, LA-based ZestCash is one of the hottest new startups in the world.
