Jobs at Hunch / eBay NYC

What do you get when you cross the entrepreneurial culture of a startup with the resources and opportunity of a global e-commerce leader? You get the Hunch team, where we tackle complex data challenges and apply the solutions to improving ebay.com, PayPal, StubHub, Shopping.com, and other eBay properties.

Working here gives you the best of both worlds: we provide a collaborative environment and interesting projects that will remind you of a nimble and innovative startup. But you’ll also be able to see your work applied to web and mobile platforms used by hundreds of millions of people.

Of course, being a part of eBay also means you have incredible opportunity for career growth and development, all over the world. And in addition to offering a great work environment and competitive compensation, eBay provides a smorgasbord of benefits that will almost make you blush.

Sound good? Then join us: Hunch is looking for full-time developers, applied researchers, and summer (of 2012) software interns to join us in our NYC office.

Developers

We are looking for well-rounded developers who love coding and building things. You should have the ability to work and think independently, be excited about developing clever solutions to very tough problems, and be interested in working on large scale problems. Our systems are built using a variety of technologies -- Java, Scala, and C++ running on Windows, Linux, and Solaris and using MongoDB, Cassandra and HBase.

To apply, please send a resume, description of projects you've built and a short email about yourself to jobs@hunch.com. BS or MS in Computer Science from a top school is preferred, but a portfolio of great projects you've built is even better.

Applied Researchers

Whereas our developers focus on writing production code, our researchers focus on developing new algorithms based on large data sets. This involves mathematical modeling, test/validation design, and a deep understanding of the mechanics of data manipulation and analysis. An MS or PhD in Mathematics, Computer Science, or similar discipline is preferred. Coding ability is required in order to productively use our massive Hadoop cluster. You should also have a portfolio of challenging projects that you’ve been involved with previously.

To apply, please send a resume, description of projects you've built and a short email about yourself to jobs@hunch.com.

Paid Software Development Interns (summer of 2012)

If you’re a current undergraduate or graduate student studying Computer Science and you love to code, let us know.

We offer flexible 8-12 week summer internships in NYC, where you’ll work closely with an experienced programmer while having your own project to complete throughout the summer. You’ll be expected to contribute solid, working code, while you also learn and develop your skills in a fun and collaborative environment.

To apply, please send a resume, description of any projects you've built and a short email about yourself to interns@hunch.com. Also let us know your work availability (starting date and duration) for the summer.
