NYC Data #63: Memorial Sloan Kettering's Innovation Lab, Hastie/Tibshirani Course, Fusion, UNICEF, Hinge, Bloomberg, Transit Maps

Hi friends: I hope you had a great 4th and are settling in to your summer! Last summer, job postings died down a little bit, but so far I'm still hearing about a fair number of roles. As always, if you have a job or event you think I should know about, drop me a line!


Junior Roles

Fusion Media is hiring a bunch of roles for the Analytics & Data Engineering Teams, up and down the seniority ladder, including Data Scientists, Digital Analysts, and Business Intelligence Analysts. I've been here almost 3 years and have loved it.

Memorial Sloan Kettering's Innovation Lab is looking for a Bioinformatics Engineer.


Mid-Level Roles

UNICEF is hiring again, this time for a data viz expert to help build a dashboard for tracking adolescent life across different countries.

Hinge is looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer (you have to apply through AngelList).

Bloomberg is looking for a Machine Learning Engineer.
