About the Job


Quant Jock



Ok, so the world is not going to end, but the Wall Street meltdown has you considering your options. Expanding other people's minds sounds like it might be more attractive than expanding their wallets. You're a numbers person, and can certainly code with the best. R is your favorite letter, but you also like python, SQL and SPSS. You have a thirst for knowledge, are self directed, and have an analytical, scientific mind. You don't like hunches, you like proof, and that means data, lots of data. To you, ANOVA is a tool, not a car, and k-means using hamming distance or cosine similarity depending on the data.

At WGen, we're looking for really smart people who can get things done. We seek passionate professionals who are interested in furthering our mission to revolutionize education. We are a profitable mid-sized company that has helped millions of students learn reading and math skills. We are a cutting-edge software company with terabytes of data, mobile devices, and compelling web applications. And we're growing rapidly, even in this bleak economy. If you're the kind of person who wants to make a difference and likes to work hard while having fun, please apply!

Don't worry if you're not an exact match, we're not trying to shoehorn people into fixed slots. Instead, we're looking for people who can grow with the company. If you're the right person, we'll make it work. If this sounds interesting to you, please reach out to us at any time and we will be happy to talk with you about us and our opportunities.
