Please mention datashaping.com when applying. Thank you. 18442xResearch EngineerSan FranciscoCAChomphttp://www.datashaping.com/jobs18442x.shtml?source=latproChomp is building a social app discovery engine to help people find the apps they need and don't know they need now. We have been gaining significant traction on the iPhone platform since launching in January of this year by combining a unique search and recommendation experience for apps. As the most mature mobile app market, the iPhone and iPod Touch currently nets Apple more than 1 billion app downloads every 60 days. The strategy of the company is to expand to other platforms (Android, iPad, Web-HTML5) and thus build a destination portal for users to discover mobile apps. As apps become an increasingly favorable method with which users consume content on their devices, we believe we're building an important product within the app discovery space that extends to all app platforms.

We're currently applying topic modeling to app meta data to build a better search experience for users finding apps. That is, being able to search for apps by functionality or topic area as opposed to keyword based on the app title or description. Check out our recent press on MobileBeat.

The company is backed by a number of top tier VCs with a small and exceptional team that consists of folks from successful companies such as Google, YouTube and AdMob. We're looking for the early members of our research engineering team to build a team (rivaling that of Aardvark whom Ben Keighran , Chomp CEO advised, and was subsequently acquired by Google early in 2010) to help develop our recommendation and search engine that would allow consumers to discover apps on these various platforms.

Who we're looking for:

Responsibilities:

• Extracting semantic information about apps (which will be indexed as part of Chomp's app search engine), involving topic modeling/extraction, ontology extraction using techniques such as latent dirichlet allocation (LDA)
• Staying aware of state of the art research, using that and product goals to plan algorithmic improvements and producing production quality code that implements these improvements and consequently the brains behind Chomp's app search engine

• Experience in a research role or environment (comfortable with understanding and implementation of research in published papers)
• Experience of implementing NLP systems in a production environment with at least a basic sensibility of scaling such a system
• Personal engineering projects showing a strong engineering and product aptitude highly favored

• Lucene/Solr
• Topic modeling/extraction (LDA desirable)
• Open source computational toolkits such as Lingpipe, Mallet, Dragon highly favorable
• B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science or equivalent industry experience

Please mention datashaping.com when applying. Thank you. 18497xDirector of AnalyticsMountain ViewCAMozilla Corporationhttp://www.datashaping.com/jobs18497x.shtml?source=latproMozilla is looking for an Analytics Director to head our metrics team. The team currently consists of 6 engineers and 4 analysts who crunch data coming from roughly 25% of the internet, or more than 400M users. We also analyze over 3 million crash reports per day, perform web analytics and multi-variant testing for Mozilla.com sites that are often ranked in the top 10, and do detailed user behavior analysis via test pilot (testpilot.mozillalabs.com). You would head up the group's efforts to produce studies and make recommendations that both guide the development of our products and services and shed light on internet behavior more generally.

More specifically, the Analytics Director interfaces with our different business groups to assess their metrics needs and direct the use of our data sources to answer meaningful questions. As a public benefit organization, our product decisions are guided by what users want and what users do, rather than by a for-profit business model, so developing insights into behavior and always doing what is best for users is absolutely vital.

We are an open organization and strive to share our practices, results, and insights with the larger metrics community. We want to work with the public, whenever possible, to make the internet better. As part of that mission, we are also committed to ensuring user privacy - not only in our Analytics efforts, but also through the promotion of data privacy throughout the web and the empowerment of our users to decide for themselves how they will interact with the sites they visit and the web applications they use.

The position is based at our Mountain View headquarters and reports directly to the VP of Engineering Operations.

Key characteristics of the competitive candidate:

• Ability and drive to conceive and execute a strategic vision for the Analytics function within Mozilla and to evangelize Analytics throughout the organization
• Ability to collaborate with other executives and business units in an instructive rather than merely consultative capacity, that is, the Director provides insights into what questions should be asked, what questions can be answered by Analytics, and finally what can be done to affect the results in the desired way
• Strong leadership experience, ideally having managed both analysts and engineers
• Business acumen, statistical knowledge, and a quantitative-analytical mindset
• Familiarity with relevant BI tools and techniques: hadoop, hbase, pentaho, and Map Reduce on the engineering side; R, Big Data, and modeling on the analytics side.
