We are always seeking unique people who are creative, proactive, thrive in a start-up environment, and have the experience to build for scale. We currently have
positions open for Senior Data Scientist and Software Engineer, Hadoop/Data Team.
You should be respected by your peers as a leader, possess a burning intellectual curiosity, and desire to change the world in a big way. You should also be humble, funny, and passionate enough in your endeavors to not be afraid of failure. You should have a life outside of technology.
Experts in machine learning, spatiotemporal data, real-time systems, large scale and streaming data sets, data compression, artificial intelligence, and algorithms needed.
You'll work with an experienced management team in a great part of New York City, and have the benefit of interacting not only with top research scientists from around the globe, but some of the most successful business people and private investors around. Nobody here fits neatly into a box.

Current Positions:
Senior Data Scientist Position
Sense Networks is looking for data scientists with a thorough background in machine learning, applied statistics, and data exploration. Our data are typically marked with timestamps and locations, so experience with
spatio-temporal data is a plus. You would be joining a small team of PhD scientists with both Statistics and Computer Science backgrounds. We work on very interesting research-level statistical problems: some are well-defined,
while some are open-ended, but they are all motivated by actual business problems that require solutions. Just as often, we work on challenging (but standard-form) machine learning problems (e.g. classification, regression,
conditional density estimation, etc.).
Requirements:
- MS or PhD in statistics, computer science, or related fields, with 4+ years experience in industry or academia
- High level of comfort with the Linux environment and its various tools for data processing
- Ability to rapidly inspect data and build prototype models
- Ability and interest in collaborating with other scientists and engineers
Nice to have:
- R programming experience
- Java programming experience
- Familiarity with Hadoop and other approaches to distributed data storage and computation
- Experience with spatio-temporal data analysis and/or point process modeling
- Experience with data visualization
