The Data Science team at Beautiful Destinations is looking for three full-time developers and researchers with strong quantitative and programming skills. Beautiful Destinations ( http://www.beautifuldestinations.com/) is the world's largest travel influencer with a highly engaged audience of over 7 million followers across Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat. Beautiful Destinations distributes beautiful travel photography to its followers and helps clients to grow their social media channels. Our in-house photographers use drones and still photography to create content for our own accounts and our clients. The data science team has three aims: to predict and enhance the engagement of photographs on specific accounts; to measure influence on social media; and to determine the factors that contribute to the growth of social media accounts. Our internal API and core infrastructure are written in Haskell (using PostgreSQL), our Bayesian statistical time-series models use Stan ( http://mc-stan.org/) as well as some statistical models in Haskell. For image processing we use convolutional neural networks (in Python) and SIFT (C++/CUDA/Haskell). We are open to people bringing their preferred tools and maintain a polyglot environment. We are looking for developers who can fill the gap between data science and software engineering. We are at this stage only looking for full-time employees who can work in our London office. We welcome recent graduates and applicants with non-traditional backgrounds who show strong programming skills and capacity for independent learning. Please email contact@beautifuldestinations.com with any questions or with a CV if you are interested in this opportunity. -- https://instagram.com/beautifuldestinations/
