Gower Street Analytics - Front End/UI Engineer.
We are focused on growing the global box office market by 4-5% by using data science to optimize release strategies.
We started in March and have already partnered with a major hollywood studio and a UK cinema chain. We've also secured significant investment.
You'll be helping us design and implement apps and static & interactive reports for our film studio partners. These apps might vary from:
* a mobile-friendly app to illustrate the relationship between a film and its competition,
* a static LaTeX report to capture changes in the market.
But as we're a brand new company, you'll have the ability to define the roll yourself. You should be comfortable in JS/CSS and be able to confidently tell us which frameworks we should be using and why.
We'd especially like to talk to you if you have an interest in film, journalism, or data visualization.
Your education and background are not so important rather, we're more concerned with your ability and desire to learn, and the ideas you bring to the conversation.
Who are we?
