Gower Street Analytics | Remote (UK) | 3 or 4 days/week | £70000 - £85000 pro-rated
We're hiring a senior engineer at Gower Street for a 3 or 4 days/week role. We're 100% remote and looking for someone eligible to work in the UK to join us.
Gower Street is the industry leader in predicting the global box office. Our numbers are quoted by mainstream media and our systems are used by the majority of big studios out there. We're also a really small team with a switched-on approach to how we work and stuff like trust and flexibility.
We're hoping to bring somebody in who has an eye for quality in a "zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" sort of way and is able to go in and deliver new features while improving both existing systems and how we go about our work. You'll be part of a small development and data science team with responsibilities ranging from creating new predictive models and deploying them in production, to making front-end changes to deliver new features to our customers
We're working in Clojure, Python, Go and Javascript using AWS, Terraform, PostgreSQL and Docker. We don't expect the ideal candidate to know all of these. We just expect you to be good at picking up tools and quick and getting up to speed.
At Gower Street Analytics we are transforming the Film industry using predictive analytics and data science. We have contracts with major studios and cinema chains who use our product to inform their planning and releases.
We are currently hiring a senior engineer in a UK-based remote role. You'll be part of a small dev and data science team with responsibilities ranging from creating new predictive models and deploying them in production, to making front-end changes to deliver new features to our customers. We’re a very small team working on really interesting problems and we’re looking for a senior engineer to bring in the know-how to deliver big vertical features and leave the system in a better operational state as a result.
You're, ideally, acquainted with functional programming and the JVM, as some of our systems are built with Clojure. You don’t need to know Clojure, but we’re looking for an engineer who’s willing to learn and quick to pick up new technologies.

Gower St Analytics | Senior Developer | Front-End Developer | Product Designer | London, UK | REMOTE (UK Applicants only)
Gower Street Analytics is a well-funded growing startup doing predictive analytics and data science in the movie business. We believe in improving transparency and collaboration within the film industry, and helping companies make data-driven booking and logistical decisions. We have contracts with major movie studios that are household names, and we've just closed a Series A level funding round. Our stack includes: Clojure, ClojureScript, Python, R, JavaScript, Postgres, CouchDB, Docker, RabbitMQ, AWS, Terraform
These are 100% remote positions based anywhere in the UK, but you're welcome to work from the London office part of the time should you choose to. We spend a lot of time pairing remotely using tmux, and are big on coaching and collaboration in general.
In return you'll get:
- Over London market salaries for on-site roles, even though we're fully remote. We also contribute 2% of your salary to a pension.
- Knowledge about exactly how your salary is calculated through our transparent compensation ladder, and what you need to do to progress.
- Choose your own working environment - you aren't forced to work in a noisy open plan office.
- If you require more flexibility we are open to discussing different working patterns like a 4-day week to help you maintain a good balance
- Go to one "big" and one "small" technical conference each year. There will also be opportunities to go to film industry conferences from time to time, in places like Barcelona, Las Vegas, Miami and Hong Kong.
- Get Wednesday afternoons to work on self-directed projects, individually or in groups, with the aim of personal improvement and innovation of new products.
While it's true that couchsurfing.com isn't what it used to be, I don't think the same can be said about the individual couchsurfers.
It's a bit too easy to lament how the quality of surfers has gone down as the community size has grown. While couchsurfers today are a more diverse crowd I think exposing the idea of couchsurfing to people who aren't you stereotypical backpacker is not necessarily cause for lament. Sometimes all it takes is a nudge in the right direction for them to become involved too.
I was active myself on the old site and after a couple of years break I've decided to start again now that I have the space to easily host. During the few months I've had visitors stop by my flat here in Edinburgh I've had the pleasure of meeting a great amount of very different and almost always interesting people ranging from poor students on their first couch surfing trip to a guest hitch hiking overland from China to classical musicians from London to a travelling Blues Dance teacher.
Being in a cultural hotspot like Edinburgh I naturally receive a lot of requests, many of which looks blatantly copy/pasted. However since I decline most requests for lack of time anyway it's not much effort to filter through and find the people who seems like they are interested in meeting me and invite them in.
So at least speaking from my own experience I don't think there's any cause for alarm over the quality of the people on couchsurfing. But then again, I always found the meetups to be dreadful. As for the site itself I find the redesign annoying and wouldn't mind switching to a better site if any good contender came up, but so far the community on CS however much in decline is still much more active than any other site I know of.
I'm almost scared of suggesting it since it might get destroyed by marauding infidels, but I am a fan of bewelcome.org. It is much smaller, of course. They run OSS!
