Weft - http://weft.io - Cambridge/Boston, MA -- ONSITE ****************** === What we do === ****************** We're building skynet (except we're focusing 100% on logistics, less so on the murder part) -- we track every boat on the water, every plane in the sky, and pretty much everything else that moves in the supply chain (all the way down to the container/pallet level) so we can make predictions about what's going to happen! We help solve problems like the multi-billion dollar asset repositioning problem (people literally ship empty containers to try to meet customer demand) and answer questions like is the port of long beach about to go on strike, is my shipment going to get stuck in customs, and who's the best person to ship with between point A and B (among a bunch of other things)? ****************** === Crib notes === ****************** - Clojure, Clojurescript, Javascript, Python/PySpark, React/re-frame, we even have a couple services in Scala - Spark, postgres, redis, kafka, accumulo, docker - We have one of the world's experts in Deep Learning on our team - We're funded by top-tier VCs - We have paying customers across multiple verticals - We eat + drink together a lot... wino wednesday, whiskey thursday, foodie friday ******************* === Looking for === ******************* - Front end tech lead (starting to play with clojurescript, though I guess that'd be your choice!) - Data engineer - Firmware engineer (MSP430, WOO!) If this sounds interesting, please shoot us an email at jobs@weft.io! Tell 'em Marc sent you.
