Windfall Data | Lead Data Scientist, Data Engineer | SF | Full Time | ONSITE or REMOTE (US-based only)

At Windfall, our goal is to determine the net worth of every person in the world. Its a super hard problem with broad applications. We work with hundreds of non-profit organizations across the US to help them better understand and engage their donors. We also work with for-profit companies in a wide array of industries (finance, travel, hospitality & gaming, luxury goods, etc) to help them better understand their clientele and targeting affluent households for net-new acquisition.

Our team is still fairly small so every new hire will have the ability to make a huge impact!

We're looking for:

* An experienced data scientist to lead our team in developing our predictive models. Data and data science are core to our business, so this role will be incredibly influential in the success of the company.

* A seasoned backend/data engineer to help build our data pipeline and other infrastructure.

Roles are onsite in SF, or remote for the right candidate with prior remote work experience.

Ostensibly this article is about the wins you can get as far as disk size is concerned by using cstore_fdw, but I can't help but notice they weren't creating any indices on this data.

By creating a simple GIN index on the regular jsonb table, you could dramatically improve those query times. So if your workload doesn't require that you do a table scan for all records then the tradeoff in terms of disk space would more than make up for the perf wins provided by the index.

Does anyone know if cstore supports creating indices of any kind, let alone GIN?

Like the author of the blog mentioned in this post, I too find it hard to wake up in the morning. But, so what? I don't feel pity for myself or try to blame my desire to sleep longer on a "disease". This blog post really hits the nail on the head.

Unfortunately, not many -- yet. But we've got lots of customers who aren't going anywhere for a long time. I think prostitution is the only other industry that isn't really affected by depressions and the like.

You should really check it out, it's a sexy language. If you know java you'll feel right at home. I've been using it for almost five years and really love it. To me, the syntactic sugar they throw in for common little things are what really make it so nice. It's not overly verbose, enhancements on types can be amazingly powerful if you have no control over over an API, and the ability to use and pass blocks (similar to closures) are something that I hate being without when I am forced to go play in java-land.

Guidewire Software (San Mateo, CA) is looking for a half dozen or so software interns this summer. Paid, naturally, because who wants to work for free? We've got tons of fun things to work on, possibly including updating our outdated website!
