Our engineers often participate in client meetings and bring insights back to the codebase. We value people who are lifelong learners, think originally, and are interested in real-world problems.
Stack:
- Python, numpy, scipy, pandas, scikit-learn, statsmodels
- Django, Flask
- CoffeeScript, Mithril.js, D3
- PostgreSQL, Redis, bcolz, HDF5, ELK stack
- Docker, AWS
- We're pragmatic about using the right tool/language for the task at hand
Frontend Engineer
Work on a data platform and accompanying visualizations that allow an analyst to go from high-level overviews to deep-diving explorations. You've built complex frontend applications, are passionate about information design, and know how to squeeze performance out of layout engines.
Full Stack Engineer
Help design and build new infrastructure and products. You'll be involved in everything from designing data structures to scaling architecture to assessing user experience. You care about security, testing, and code organization.
Data Engineer
Work with data that has an impact on the real world. You'll help us ingest, store, process, and query large data sets — this includes building ontologies, designing data pipelines, and transforming data to make it more useful.

Poptip is an information discovery and modern market research company focused on social conversation analysis. We focus on two products; a social polling product that has powered events like Time Person of the Year voting and a market research SaaS platform that allows brands to get deep insights on any topic by analyzing social conversation.
- We have a proven revenue model (with clients like CNN, Budweiser, L'Oreal, and the NFL) and are growing rapidly.
- Our stack includes Go, Node.JS, AngularJS, Redis, DynamoDB, Postgres, Kafka, CoreOS, and Vagrant, as well as some internal versions of other systems (like scalable websockets as a service).
- We apply natural language processing and machine learning techniques to real-time streams of millions of social posts to wrangle actionable insights out the data.
Engineers:
We value the ability to communicate ideas clearly. You should be able to write well, speak your mind, and take feedback with humility. Engineers drive product decisions just as much as any other member of the team.
Designers:
Poptip was founded and is led by a designer. Unlike many B2B SaaS companies, an exceptional customer experience has been the heart of this company’s success since inception. As a member of the design team, you would hold a high level of responsibility by leading the development of new products, visual standards, and features.
Business/Sales:
We have been selling our products from the beginning. Customers rely on Poptip's suite of products on a daily basis to help drive their businesses forward. Our sales team exists to help businesses better understand consumers and maintain two-way relationships with them. We are building a world class sales team with opportunities in sales, account management, and sales development.
Admittedly, I don't know much about state of the art sous-vide, but I'd be really interested to see a device with two reservoirs that can be held at different temperatures and fill/drain the main water bath.
Hypothetically, this would allow for cook->chill methods, though the overhead may not be worth it except for a small niche of customers.
