[ml] Machine learning jobs

[Vikram Oberoi]

Oh, I forgot to mention: we're also hiring into our Visualization Engineer
role: http://www.meebo.com/jobs/openings/visualizationengintern/. That's our
intern position, but we're looking for full-time candidates as well. The job
description is the same, and it's the frontend counterpart to our Data
Engineer roles.

Cheers,
Vikr"this is my last email about this"am
