      Wingify Labs | Pune (Kalyani Nagar) and Delhi (Pitampura), India. Onsite

      Wingify (wingify.com) is the company behind Visual Website Optimizer (vwo.com). Wingify Labs is focused on building new worldclass products, both SAAS and consumer facing. If you want to level up your skills and build things you've never thought you could build, this is the place for you. We've got a lot of projects cooking - from a SAAS focusing on re-engaging site visitors, a mobile app aiming to be WeChat for India, a FinTech project servicing agriculture and several more.

      We are hiring data scientists (code + statistics), deep backend engineers (algorithms/concurrency/computer architecture), application engineers (frontend and backend), devops, mobile developers, support, and pretty much everything else. With high probability we have a place for you here.

      On the data science and deep backend side (the places I work most closely with), I have some blog posts that give the general picture of the sort of things you'll be thinking about: https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2014/microservices_for_the_grumpy_neckbeard.html https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2016/has_your_conversion_rate_changed.html https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2016/bayesian_calibration_of_mobile_phone_compass.html http://engineering.wingify.com/posts/Free-objects/

      If interested reach out to chris@wingify.com.
