About Nervana

Nervana provides "AI on demand". Businesses use our Nervana Cloud platform to create and deploy solutions that include natural language processing, image recognition, computer vision and other types of artificial intelligence. We specialize in "deep learning", which is the technology that powers Apple's Siri, Facebook face recognition, and Google's self-driving cars and AlphaGo. The space is white hot right now! A bit more about Nervana:

• Closed a $20M+ Series A round last year from DFJ, Allen & Company, and others.
• Offices in both San Diego and in the ultra-cool Playground space in Palo Alto.
• Current customers in industries such as agribusiness, financial services, health services, automotive, and the intelligence community.

• Strong fundamental understanding of OO design, algorithms, and data structures
• Expertise in Python, Flask, Django, Docker, RabbitMQ, and OAM suites such OpenStack, Mesos, and/or Kubernetes
• Highly desirable, but not strictly required, skills include experience with DevOps, AWS, KVM, SELinux/MAC, NAS, Paxos, highly available distributed systems, performant scale-ready Python, resource-based dynamic scheduling, and system languages such as C, Go or Rust.
