Seeking names/recruiting contacts (if possible): Systematic Trading firms in NY

Would the community know of any systematic trading firms with a good rep in NYC outside of Two Sigma and RenTech?

A little background: I'm a seasoned industry veteran and have a pretty sturdy academic background in quant finance (engineering grad, MS and an MBA as well - the last one may not be relevant in this case). But I'm looking to make my way into a decent systematic trading firm. A firm that would give me exposure to data science/machine learning, et al would be a huge bonus to me with respect to my interests (I get the feeling that I can't put myself through grad school to learn the ol' fashioned way YET ANOTHER time).

Also, if you have email contacts for people in these firms who're willing to help a grizzled industry vet out and go through my background/refer me to a position in said firms, that would be yet another bonus (I recognize that I'm reaching here but it never hurts to ask).
