Los Angeles or Bay Area or Shanghai preferred, but remote work is possible for exceptional candidates. Full-time only. If you're interested in working remotely, you must live in the U.S. H1B is okay. We also have some summer internship opportunities.
Factual aims to be the place where people meet to share, improve, and mash-up data. Our vision is to be an awesome and affordable data provider, so that big companies, startups, and developers can focus on innovation instead of data acquisition.
We have a terrific team that is still fairly small, and an incredible CEO (he was the co-founder of Applied Semantics, which was sold to Google and became AdSense). Last year we raised a Series A from Andreessen-Horowitz, and our customers and partners include Facebook, Loopt, SimpleGeo, and Newsweek. We have lots of challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, deduping, storage, serving, APIs, etc. If you love data, Factual is the place to be.
We currently have about half a dozen job openings, from data engineering to software engineering to system administration. For the software engineering position, you would ideally know Java, Clojure, and/or Ruby, and you'll get bonus points for experience with machine learning, NoSQL, algorithms, infrastructure, and/or Hadoop.
If you're interested in the Bay Area office, it just opened last weekend, so you'd have a significant influence on the culture there.

I was an intern in Leo's group at Google 6 years ago and learned a lot from him. So, if you're looking for LA jobs or internships, I would highly recommend checking out his team! Of course, if you're based in the bay area, also check out my posting above :)
Thanks Todd! Todd's is awesome guy to work with and has a great knack for machine learning and large-scale system design. Definitely check out Cloudera after you've applied to Factual =)
We don't yet have any official pages describing our internship opportunities, but we are looking for interns for the data team and software engineering team for the summer (http://www.factual.com/jobs/software_engineer and http://www.factual.com/jobs/data_engineer are good starting points for what the internships would entail). We are also looking for an MBA Marketing/Business Ops intern for the Winter/Spring quarter. If you'd like more information, please email me at leo -at- factual.com and I can answer more questions and introduce you to our hiring manager. Thanks!
