Riverbed is looking for a Software Engineer to apply statistical and machine learning techniques under some challenging circumstances: we have terabytes to petabytes of data for each customer to analyze for correlation, mutual information, anomalies, and feature extraction – way too much to bring together into a data lake, and really too much to take more than a single pass through. To make full use of the benefits of fog or edge computing, we need help performing some already-complicated tasks on streaming and distributed basis. The challenge we need help with: Find dependencies and mutual information among time series metrics without directly comparing them Identify market basket-style affinities on a streaming basis Deduplicate transactions for anomaly detection without sending them to a central analysis location Develop techniques to aid human analysts’ understanding of a stream of anomalies by finding commonalities and hidden dependencies What we’re looking for in a candidate: Minimum MS Degree (PhD candidate highly desired) Proficiency with Python and Python tools (pandas, numpy, sklearn) Very familiar with Jupyter Notebook or Azure ML Studio Additional skills that will help you succeed: Experience with Networking & Network troubleshooting Experience with Tensorflow Knowledge of edge computing and/or Azure cloud Good documentation and presentation skills (to communicate your ideas to the broader engineering team) Click here to apply!
