They are looking for some from a good school with either an Economics, Statistics or Nuclear Physics Degree. They haven't done any AB testing . They need someone to start everything from conception through to the final testing and grow a group. The company is profitable and growing. The founders of Netflix are running things over there.

Please contact me if you have any questions. I am always happy to pay a referral fee.
