Meebo is seeking an empirically-minded groundbreaker to join its ranks. We love instrumentation, A/B testing, and take delight in uncovering the unexpected. We’re seeking our next team member who will build a world-class product-oriented data system that will serve as the compass for nearly all strategic company decisions.

  • Deep understanding of MapReduce programming models such as Hadoop and other parallel computing implementations for processing and generating large data sets
  • Expert scripting skills including HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Python, and SQL
  • The product and business savvy mindset to pinpoint what metric matters most and the communication skills to convey those thoughts to others

 

You will be measured by your ability to:
