FlightAware | Machine Learning Engineer | Houston, TX | Full-time, ONSITE, https://flightaware.com/
I'm a lead developer at FlightAware. I'm currently leading our flight tracking team, which develops and maintains a distributed system for tracking flights in parallel, and I'm in the process of building a machine learning team for the first time ever at the company.
This is an opportunity to have a potentially huge impact on machine learning not just at FlightAware but on the aviation industry in general. There are a lot of fascinating and challenging problems in this area: computing taxi times, landing times, departure times, airport congestion, flight delays, and more based on complex real-time contextual information. I honestly believe these are among the most interesting problems you'll find to work on almost anywhere.
FlightAware has a vast amount of highly granular flight data going back many years to facilitate tackling these problems. For instance, we have detailed surface movement data for all aircraft on the ground at most major worldwide airports. We have detailed weather records and radar imagery. We have thousands of live ADS-B receivers around the world. And we've partnered with Aireon to deploy ADS-B receivers in space on dozens of satellites in orbit; this will allow us to achieve global tracking coverage, even over the oceans and other large bodies of water.
FlightAware wants to be on the forefront of tackling these problems using modern, sophisticated methods. We view this as a long-term strategic initiative for the company.
You'd be the first full-time machine learning engineer, so we're looking for someone fairly senior and experienced. You won't be a cog in the machine. This is not just a research position and will involve building end-to-end production systems, from training pipelines to real-time inference engines, so we're ideally looking for someone with a demonstrated track record of doing so. With that said, we're willing to consider less experienced candidates with exceptional backgrounds.
FA is a small company (currently 70-80 employees), but we're not a startup. We've been around for over a decade and don't rely on VC funding at all. The company is successful, profitable, and growing. And we just built out a brand new modern office space in Houston.

NCC Group (formerly Matasano Security, iSEC Partners, and Intrepidus Group) - Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Sunnyvale, CA
A completely unscientific resource tells us that only 8% of Americans actually keep their New Year's resolutions. We get it. Treadmills are super boring. Know what's not super boring? Cutting-edge research, continuous learning & training, and contributing on interesting client engagements. The elusive triple threat.
NCC Group is currently looking for passionate security minds to join our merry crew!
What do we do exactly? Penetration testing, security analysis, DFIR, and cutting-edge research into current technologies and attacks (breaking things). You spend most of your day thinking about security systems and how they can break. You get to be creative and have a lot of freedom to be clever while learning new technologies at a very fast pace. Engagements are usually 2-4 weeks long and in a year you will be exposed to 15-20 products and technology stacks. Your work will typically initiate person-months of security improvements in products millions of people use. You will have access to senior engineers/architects and your findings/ideas will be heard by senior decision makers. You will have enormous impact in making the software people use safer!
All of our consultants are also security researchers, with dedicated research time. Not too shabby!
We are looking to add new colleagues in all of our office locations, and are looking to add folks specifically in the Houston market should you have interest.
We are also seeking senior DFIR leaders in our New York and Bay Area offices! We are looking to add several members to our Risk Management & Governance group, as well, all around the country.
