Palo Alto, CA - Sherpa We're building predictive intelligence into your smartphone. We provide users just the information they need right as they need it and simplify task completion on the iPhone. From telling you 20 minutes before you leave for work that there is a major accident on your typical route, to automatically surfacing key information at the right location -- like your hotel reservation as you approach your hotel -- we simplify your life and help you focus on what's important. It is really only in the past year that what we are doing has become possible on a large scale. This is because background location is now available and with it we are able to build models of the user and connect key bits of information to the user's current state (think position). We would love to show and tell you more! We're looking for great people to join our small startup backed by top VCs. Specifically: # UI / UX Designers Interested in creating beautiful mobile experiences that help people interact with information and complete transactions? Send us examples of your work. We’re looking for someone to own the look and feel -- we know it’s important and need help! # Backend Software Engineers The deep technology problem we face is information retrieval and machine learning. The user models we build help us make predictions and determine how and when to present information. # iOS Engineers We’re looking for iOS engineers that can build beautiful experiences and effects, and squeeze performance out of the system.
