Data Scientist (вакансія неактивна)

THE COMPANY
Cogniance is a 450+ people global consulting organization with roots in Silicon Valley. We exist to help innovators bring software and hardware innovations to market. In essence, we co-create technology products. Since our founding in 2008, we have build a world-class company on a strong foundation of world-class people powered by world-class processes.

We work with early & growth-stage startups as well as Fortune 500 companies on the strategy, design, build, launch, and evolution of their technology products. In doing so, we practice Advanced Simplicity — balancing complex solutions with refined user experiences, by fusing technology and design.

THE OPPORTUNITY
CloudMade is the catalyst of change in the connected car industry. For decades cars have served the same purposes with the same interaction models and same business models. Now all of that is changing. The new era of connected cars is challenging and re-shaping an industry. From electric vehicles to car sharing to on-demand taxis, multi-modal transportation and self learning cars, CloudMade’s products are at the centre of a new type of mobility.

Our products enable a vast number of connected car use cases ranging from personalized search, to chassis customization to mobility apps to radically re-thought navigation. For too long the driver has been expected to learn how to use the car. We’ve flipped that idea on its head. Using CloudMade’s software the connected car learns about the driver, customizing every imaginable aspect of the car experience — from the tires to the screens in the cabin.

CloudMade’s leadership team is made up of industry veterans with startup and corporate successes behind them at companies like Psion, Microsoft, Macromedia, Oracle, Libratone, Harman-Kardon. We have offices in Menlo Park (California), Munich and Stuttgart (Germany), London (UK) and Kyiv (Ukraine).

What am I going to do on this project?
Developing server side code mainly with hadoop/hbase stack to analyse peoples data to create their profile that could be later used in vehicle to make predictions. Simplest example: server side engineer will have log of people movement and based on this log, location & time we will need to be able to say next destination of the user with probability.
