Is Segment building out a Vancouver office?

Impressive. I'm from Vancouver and will keep an eye on finn!

Open to remote for the Customer Success role?

Very cool - I'll look into it

We're building an SMS chatbot for the Canadian cannabis market. It allows you to purchase marijuana directly from dispensaries and licensed producers in a few messages. We’re adding NLP and a basic recommendation engine to help increase retention and drive purchases.

We built out the infrastructure in a hackathon and are grinding away at an MVP. Starting to demo for dispensaries soon. I think we’re really on to something! People have been texting their drug dealer since.. well, the advent of cell phones, so we aren’t changing behaviour. It’s just nicer to chat with a friendly bot (with dispensary to doorstep delivery) than exchanging goods from a blacked-out Malibu in a Walmart parking lot.

Landing page here: http://hicanna.io/ Super happy to discuss our stack or anything else if you’re interested in the project.

Sorry, are they just conducting interviews in Van or actually running a cohort there?

Play competitive tennis :') It'd be a miserable paying job at my level, but the most satisfying life I could live.

I don't understand ad networks enough to grasp how fraudulent ad inventory works, but as this article shows - you can make a killing exploiting it..

As is stands, is there any sort of compliance measure (or regulatory body) to monitor/prevent ad fraud in these networks?

Creepy. It's pretty common to see companies use https://fullstory.com/, http://www.inspectlet.com/ or other session-capturing tools now - and they wouldn't say anything in the privacy policy.

How are you finding Wealthsimple?

Can't speak to the tool itself, but the site design and overall aesthetic looks gorgeous..
