Boston/Cambridge, MA

Crimson Hexagon is actively looking for:

1) An awesome UI/UX developer who writes smart HTML/CSS and appreciates both beautiful design and beautiful Javascript.

2) An intern who is a PhD student in machine learning, computational linguistics, or statistics with strong programming skills and an interest in the social sciences.

3) Any hackers generally interested in machine learning, distributed systems, and big data.

We use proprietary machine learning algorithms to measure public opinion about major brands, politics, etc. using the social web -- including the full Twitter firehose -- as our datasource. We make our findings available to our customers via a beautiful web product. We've collected, indexed, and are constantly mining an archive of over 100 billion web and social media documents, adding another 2+ billion each week.

Small and tight-knit team (7 engineers, 2 research scientists), plenty of free food and beer, impressive customer list, $5mm+ in funding, and growing fast.

Drop me a line at stefan@crimsonhexagon.com
