Zoba | backend engineer, dev ops, machine learning, and more | Boston / Cambridge / Somerville, MA, USA | ONSITE | FULLTIME | $90-140k + equity
Zoba is a platform to make spatial data, visualization, ML, and optimization easier. Our mission is to "improve the efficiency of cities and the lives of people that live in them." Right now, our customers are primarily (micro)mobility companies interested in questions like "where should we place our vehicles" and "how should we rebalance our fleet?"
Right now we're a team of 6 people who believe hard in the power and importance of cities as engines of human well-being. We're looking for a backend engineer with a few years of experience to work on our API, which is primarily used by data scientists at client companies. Our backend stack is Python, Django, Postgres/PostGIS, and AWS. Other tools we use include NodeJS, React, Julia, and Gurobi. Of course, we're always looking for talented, thoughtful people, so if you're an engineer or data scientist interested in what we do, please get in touch!
We work hard to make Zoba an actively great place to work. Perks include:
- Sane working hours (e.g. since I joined 6 months ago, I've yet to work a single night or weekend, though it may happen eventually)
- Unlimited vacation policy, with a suggested minimum number of days (to avoid the rush to people trying to be tough by taking 0 days)
- Roughly biweekly seminars on team members' interests, typically not directly work related
- Weekly team lunches
- Have plenty of runway and backed by excellent investors including CRV, Founder Collective, Mark Cuban, and Kaggle founder Anthony Goldbloom
My role at Zoba is data scientist and, empirically, team baker [0]. If you have me-specific questions, you can reach me at evan@zoba.com. To apply for a job or for general interest, I encourage you to contact our cofounder Joseph at joseph@zoba.com. You can also check out a more formal job posting at zoba.com/careers.
[0] today is everything bagel flavored challah; last week was cinnamon rolls and malted chocolate chip cookies!
