Kensho, Boston, MA (Cambridge), Stamford, CT, New York, NY (NYC): FULL TIME Software Engineers, SRE, UX or UI Designers ONSITE

Kensho's growing engineering team[0] is headquartered in Harvard Sq. We are making financial analysis faster, accessible, intuitive and beautiful through our partnerships with Goldman Sachs[1] and CNBC[2]

Software Engineers & SRE

We're hiring fun-loving, hands-on nerds at every experience level, layer of the stack and facet of our technology. We look for people who a hungry to learn, figure things out quickly, and are massively productive using technology and math. To really catch our eye, show off your:

  * Mindful coding combined with ambitious productivity
  * Architectural sense applied using practical, iterative steps
  * Experience at scale with machine learning, NLP, or unstructured data
  * Charting, visualization or optimization skills in javascript
  * Ability to design and build scalable infrastructure
  * Style, workflow and responsive designs
While we primarily use Python (especially pandas and NumPy) and AngularJS, that is just implementation detail and you can interview in the language of your choice.

UX or UI Designers

Design is critical to every aspect of our work. We look for a crisp design aesthetic applied to complicated workflows or experienced UX methodology that produces intuitive designs. We hope you will

  * Share your portfolio and walk us through your design process
  * Work through a design with us
Experience with finance is not required. A willingness to play bughouse, play ticket to ride, and shoot zombies is a plus.

Matt, is Kensho taking on any interns at the Harvard Square office? I'm a junior at Harvard studying CS and Statistics (which means I live abnormally close to 17 Dunster St.), and am pretty much obsessed with bughouse.
