More Information:
FirstRain is looking to hire NLP engineers to help enrich our analytics platform
at our San Mateo, CA office. We process tens of thousands of business news
documents each day, ripe for new insights and analysis using NLP-based
techniques. My experience with CLMS definitely enabled me to do the sort of work
I do here, and I think CLMS grads (fresh and experienced!) would make an amazing
addition to the team. I enjoy not only delivering production code, but also
spending time exploring the data and doing (deep) linguistic analysis. Please
contact me if you have any questions or if you’re interested!
 
Here’s the full job posting:
 
FirstRain is an established technology company that specializes in subtle
machine analysis of text documents to understand corporate structures and
business opportunities. The FirstRain product is based on state-of-the-art
natural language processing built on our proprietary Personal Business
Analytics™ Platform. Our product analyzes written text from diverse sources
and extracts business critical data which is then delivered into large
enterprise organizations in various formats. For example we are able to
identify, rank and prescribe specific actions decision makers should take based
on extracted facts and events.
To expand our data science team, we are seeking experts in natural language and
data analysis. The ideal candidate will have experience with machine learning
and classification techniques, especially as they apply to text in its various
forms. This position will demand precise thinking about patterns of
communication which are relevant to corporate structures and business events.
Candidate must be eager to work flexibly and creatively on problems tied to
corpora of all sizes, from dozens to tens of millions of documents.
This position requires working in a small team on fast-paced projects. It
provides an opportunity to make significant and direct contributions to the
FirstRain product.
