Hello, I'm nick from 42 (YC W14) (http://42debut.com)!

We're building the best point-of-sale analytics software for physical and online retailers.

Our customers are not scientists or engineers; They run multimillion dollar businesses using intuition and excel. We can do better. In the past few months, we've built a product that provides more value than the multi-million dollar consulting packages offered by our competitors.

Some of the stuff we have:

- Large, raw datasets from big-name retailers. You can't get these anywhere.

- JSON-based query DSL (think elastic search), allows for ad-hoc queries on our client.

- Microservice architecture.

- Sweet client-side dashboard (Angular/CoffeeScript/Grunt/Compass/Jade).

- Node-based ETL pipeline.

We're looking for an experienced engineer/computer scientist that will ultimately lead our future engineering team.

- Proficient in at least two of these: JS / CoffeeScript, Python, R, Java, Scala, Julia, C++, Go, etc..

- Familiar with modern frontend stacks (We use AngularJS heavily)

- Passion for data and visualizations (bonus for d3 experience)

- DB experience (we're currently using Postgres)

- Experience building systems, not just MVPs.

- (bonus) Experience with data processing system design

- (bonus) Machine learning experience

- (bonus) Distributed systems architectures

- (bonus) Experience with Hadoop, Spark, Storm, etc..

- (bonus) Startup experience, experience with hiring/scaling teams, etc.

We're an early stage startup, so we'll hook you up:

- All the gear

- Full benefits package

- Equity & options as early employee

- We're based in SF, and we'll help you relocate if need be.

If that sounds good, send me an email: nick@42debut.com

PS: We're also looking for interns, so feel free to apply as well!
