WHO WE ARE:
SwipeSense is a healthcare technology company, our mission is to eliminate Hospital Acquired Infections, a leading cause of death in the United States. We design and market the only comprehensive hand-hygiene compliance monitoring solution which combines sensor networks with wearable technologies to provide a complete, long-term and cost-effective solution for healthcare institutions. SwipeSense is a high-growth venture backed company headquartered in Chicago, IL

WHO WE NEED:
SwipeSense handles large-scale distributed IOT hardware networks that produce massive amounts of real-time sensor data. We’re looking for someone who is excited about designing and building with the future of big data solutions in-mind. We are looking for an experienced engineer who relishes putting the latest advances in algorithms and machine learning to use, to make sense of multi-sensor data streams.

PRIMARY ROLE:
Responsible for the development and implementation of algorithms and machine learning methods to convert multiple sensor data streams, originating from a distributed sensor network, into accurate activity predictions.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop distributed streaming algorithms to analyze and process high-volume sensor data in real time.
• Optimize decision making algorithms to provide high-accuracy location and movement decisions using signal strength and other sensor data from a mesh network of low energy bluetooth devices.
• Develop methods to analyze algorithm performance and grant insights into edge case and failure scenarios. 
• Oversee development of scoring scripts to guide algorithm improvements. 
• Create real-time performance metrics to accelerate iteration cycles and allow rapid prototyping. 
• Collaborate with embedded team on new sensor development to ensure sensor output meets algorithmic needs. 
• Collaborate with Data Engineers team to implement algorithms in production environment. 

KEY SKILLS:

• Strong modern algorithm fundamentals: pattern recognition, machine learning, multi-sensor fusion, image processing, probabilistic modelling, etc.
• Experience with cloud based distributed computing platforms like hadoop or spark 
• Knowledge of distributed data storage with Hadoop, Cassandra, or equivalent 
• Knowledge of data streaming technologies such as Kafka or Amazon kinesis
• Deep understanding of big O notation and algorithm complexity analysis 
• Comfort with Linux, bash, and open source tools.
