Localot Research. We are 6 PhDs and 4 engineers, working on some very cool machine learning / natural language processing / data analytics problems that need a lot of scaling. Our strongest need is for experienced developers, but we are growing and will need more statistician/ML/NLP/math people and sys-admins. We have an espresso maker (and coffee machine).

We have multiple positions available. We want great people who think big, http://www.localot.com/jobs.html.

I just really like the concept. I am glad that someone is approaching the on-line dating scene in a more collaborate and, well, personal way. It would be interesting to take this slant toward meeting collaborators for projects, or just a group of friends, as well as someone that you like there personality.
