Profitably, a New York-based startup is looking for a Vice President of Data. According to the post, “We are a venture-backed startup in NYC. We’ve had nearly 3,000 small businesses sign up for our service, and we’ve been featured in Fortune, Inc, Forbes, FoxBusiness, AmEx Open Forum, The Huffington Post, Crains, and other great media outlets. We have invested in world-class engineering and design talent, but we need help on the data side of the operation. (You will be the 6th person in the company with commensurate equity/responsibilities.)”
It continues, “As things stand, we have a multi-tenant SaaS offering that delivers insights to startups and small businesses using backbone.js and Ruby on Rails with some pretty clever home-grown enhancements. On the backend we are running Postgres for persistent storage, Mongo for document-based storage and ETL staging, and redis for key-value stores and queueing. The appeal of this role is the opportunity to build something users really need that draws from the best aspects of traditional business intelligence, big data, NoSQL, real time analytics, and statistics. Profitably is building the future of data analytics with a respectful nod to what’s come before, and you will be the tip of the spear.”
