Software Engineer at TellApart, Inc. in Burlingame, CA
About Us
TellApart is creating a predictive customer analytics platform that will massively enhance online marketing. Others talk about Big Data, but not all data is created equal. TellApart has access to some of the most valuable shopping data in the world across dozens of retailers, and we’re just starting to unlock its potential with our cutting edge technology.
TellApart centers its vision on helping e-commerce companies drive incremental revenue through the use of their own customer data. We are building a next-generation customer database for large online retailers. We believe in the promise of a better future for retail, one where retailers know their customers intimately and can serve up a better online experience than offline. Impossible? We think not.
Our first application on the market is a product that helps retailers connect with customers and prospects when they are off of the retailer’s website. This form of remarketing can be very powerful when it is personalized and directed. In some cases, we are able to add an incremental 10% to retailers’ bottom lines with user click-through rates of 10%. That means that remarketing with TellApart is a multi-million dollar opportunity for online retailers.
Your Role
Our engineers have had to solve some pretty daunting technical challenges, like how to handle tens of thousands of requests per second under strict latency guarantees on behalf of hundreds of millions of users. Or how to build predictive models that evaluate hundreds of thousands of features in milliseconds. Giving bright engineers access to powerful shopping data creates countless product possibilities.
As a young company, we need generalist team members who can do anything and do it exceptionally well. We're hiring brilliant engineers of all backgrounds -- the unifying characteristic will be that of someone who can simply roll up their sleeves and do whatever needs to be done, even if well-outside their comfort zone. We work extensively in the areas of high-throughput distributed systems, data analysis/modeling, ad serving and web technologies.
