Machine Learning Startup Hiring

[Charles Weitzer]

Hello,

My name is Charles Weitzer. I do recruiting with a focus on quantitative sciences. One of my clients is a machine learning startup
located in Northern California. The founders include a successful veteran entrepreneur with a PhD in CS from Stanford, while the
other founder is on the faculty at UC Berkeley. Their team has made unpublished discoveries in the field of Machine Learning and in
other areas as well.  

My client would like to hire an extremely talented Senior Data Infrastructure Software Engineer as soon as possible. Their job
description can be found below. This group is going to be the next big thing in terms of quantitative strategies and systems.  They
are rebuilding their current system and also designing a new system.  You could work on either or both. I would love to speak with
you or anyone else you might highly recommend about this opportunity.

Thank you,

Charles Weitzer
