And the data is indeed very raw: this job will involve coding sql, python, bash shell scripts, perl, etc. If the idea of querying Oracle directly via command-line sql scares you away, this job isn't for you. On the other hand, if you've got sound business sense but are still geeky enough to get a thrill from coding, then this may be just the right spot for you. Benefits include full health/dental/vision, stock options, a fun and engaged culture, friendly coworkers, a chance to make a real and personal impact on the company's strategy, free catered lunches every day and free 24/7 snacks galore, an opportunity to work with cutting-edge database and data mining technologies, and free Caltrain passes and/or private shuttle to and from San Francisco. No need to apply with a resume right now -- please send a brief description of why this job sounds interesting to you and/or any questions you might have. Thanks! tag:jobs.metafilter.com,2008:site.480 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 12:57:26 -0800 database oracle analyst sql pl-sql programming analysis business analytics python bash perl unix coding scripting internet treepour http://jobs.metafilter.com/mefi/338 IDEO helps companies innovate.
