Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2016)

Advanced Simulation Technology, inc. (ASTi) | Herndon/Reston, VA | Multiple Positions | ONSITE

We’re a small company building innovative products in the simulation and training industry. One of our newest products is SERA (http://seraatc.com), the Simulated Environment for Realistic ATC. SERA helps airline pilots learn to communicate by simulating the entire air traffic control environment, including artificial intelligence for aircraft and controllers, speech recognition on pilot speech, and text-to-speech radio chatter.

ASTi has been around for about 25 years. We’ve been very successful in our niche (audio and communications), but we’re beginning to grow in adjacent areas and need your help! On-site, full-time engineering positions available for those interested in software, web, cloud and speech technology.

Stack: C/C++/C#, Go(golang), Python, Angular, Node.JS, AWS, Docker, RethinkDB, SIP, WebRTC, RaspberryPi

Check out this page for more information on ASTi, our unique work environment, and the full job descriptions: https://www.asti-usa.com/jobs/index.html. A few other reasons to consider ASTi: excellent compensation, profit-sharing, start at 4 weeks vacation (growing to 6 weeks over time), company-paid retirement plan, and we were included in Washingtonian Magazine’s "50 Great Places to Work" in 2015.

Sourceress | San Francisco Bay Area, CA | Full-time | Onsite (Remote possible, see below)

We're a (human-assisted) AI sourcing platform that delivers great results (customer quote: "I'd have a panic attack if you guys stopped existing"). One of our founders previously sold a company and is very technical, and the other was Chief of Staff at Dropbox. We've found a way to reallocate talented individuals to mission-driven companies, allowing them to grow and actually change the world.

2nd engineer (very significant equity possible)

We have a real business with interesting AI/ML/NLP problems that are core to our product. We want to work with you--a prolific, empathetic engineer who cares about personal growth and doing the right thing.

Strong familiarity with Python is a requirement, and familiarity with Django, AWS, PostgreSQL and Javascript are bonuses.

Email josh@sourceress.co

* Remote is a possibility (we have experience with distributed teams)

edit: there is nothing on our website because we have a very long waiting list of customers, so making a website has not been a priority. Happy to explain more via email!

Software Engineer | True Link Financial | San Francisco, CA (onsite)

A YC company in 2013, True Link Financial exists to provide quality financial services for all: from protecting grandma’s money from scammers to providing supplemental financial tools that support disabled Veterans. 


About us:

* 90% of our work is in React and Rails, 5% is in Java, and about 5% is DevOps—AWS

* Our team works to meet high standards of usability, security, and availability - because our customers depend on our products for their immediate (today's groceries) and long-term (retirement investments) financial needs. So we move fast, but we can't be cavalier about breaking things.

* We also get to experiment and build cool things: We've used Twilio to craft a useful and constantly-improving IVR for customer service, and we help make our customers and operations folks happy by processing inquiries via SMS. 


We'll probably get along wonderfully if:

* You've got a minimum of 10 months of software engineering experience, preferably with Ruby on Rails


* You’re a nice person who has worked on hairy, wacky full-stack code in production

* You enjoy exploring implementation options and collaborating with product folks

* You can improve the codebase without being rude, judgmental or arrogant about it

* You would describe yourself less as more of a 'session musician' (e.g. Carol Kaye) than a 'rockstar'

* You're looking for a full-time, on site role in San Francisco 


Our engineering team is striving for true inclusion, since we know what it's like to be underrepresented in tech. Our engineers didn't go to 'top CS schools' and have fought to get into this industry, so we question all tech industry platitudes. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

You can apply through Angel List https://angel.co/true-link/jobs/31301-software-engineer or by emailing jobs@truelinkfinancial.com.

We promise to reply within 2 business days!
