Technology Team
[Looking for both back-end and front-end developers. Strong backgrounds in machine learning, education, user interaction design, big data, or social network analysis are desirable, but team members do wear many hats. Best candidate would be a masterful hacker who went and did startups after finishing their Ph.D. We should find a way to make some positions that parallel fellows, and can leverage MIT/Harvard prestige]
