New York, NY. Full Time @ Seer Inc - https://angel.co/seer/jobs Senior Software Engineer - Big Data & Machine Learning Seer organizes your information so it is available when you need it most.

Seer is building the new way to work--a web-application that brings email, desktop, and cloud-apps into one place that applies algorithms to organize people's data automatically and displays in an easy to use interface accessible from their browser, smartphone, or desktop. This requires overcoming significant technical challenges, and we are seeking other engineers unfazed by difficult technical problems. We are a small, early stage start-up that moves quickly. We were joined forces in October, funded by DreamIt Ventures, a top ranked national accelerator in November, built our MVP in 60 days, and demonstrated it at SxSw in March. Our next move is recruit a team dedicated to making Seer a success, launch our web-app publicly this summer, and win the Evernote Developers challenge in September.
