Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2024)

WattCarbon has launched the first clean energy market aimed at rapidly scaling distributed energy technology, including rooftop solar & storage, electrification, and demand response. Our buildings are responsible for 40% of US and global emissions. By scaling distributed clean energy, we can eliminate these emissions today. We partner with climate-driven companies & organizations, directing funding towards these technologies to lower costs, accelerate deployment, and promote energy equity across the US.

We are a seed stage startup backed by some of the most respected climate investors on the planet (True Ventures, Jetstream, Village Global, Looking Glass, Keiki Capital, Greensoil PropTech Ventures, and others); you would be the fourth engineer and eighth team member. We are open to any applicant who lives in the US - you should be comfortable working in a fully distributed, remote-first company.

Data Engineer: We are looking for someone to help with the development of the ETL pipeline for the ingestion of electricity meter data and an array of other diverse datasets used in the measurement and verification of decarbonization programs. We are looking for help building out a pipeline that ingests and computes models using hourly meter data on the scale of millions of meters. Our ideal applicant is a python-first programmer who is also experienced in pandas. Work will also entail supporting data science related to measurement and verification. Previous experience with energy data is a plus.

We generally subscribe to the idea that Marx was correct about the alienation of labor and we organize ourselves purposefully to provide flexibility around family commitments, ensure opportunities for substantive input into business decisions, and prioritize personal growth. We are committed to a more inclusive approach to employment in tech through benefits and paid leave policies that are compatible with a diversity of personal and family situations through flexible work hours.

To apply, please submit a resume (or a link to your linkedin) and cover letter to recruiting@wattcarbon.com. We’re a small company, so we really value what you have to say. Tell us about yourself and how you see your career progressing, and answer at least one of the following questions: What kinds of problems interest you? What makes you a good fit for an early-stage company? How do you go about growing your tech skills?

We're building the most flexible and developer-friendly platform for feature flags, A/B testing and "application configuration". See https://docs.hypertune.com for more details.

At the core of Hypertune is a visual, functional, statically-typed programming language with first-class citizens for analytics, A/B testing and machine learning.

Our UI lets users define their configuration logic in this language and our SDKs act as interpreters, evaluating the logic locally on clients with zero network latency.

As a senior product engineer, you'll work mainly in React and TypeScript to craft a beautiful product that delights our users.

If you're interested, please email miraan at hypertune dot com with your LinkedIn, CV or a link to a project you've built.

Zeiss SMT is the leader in extreme engineering optics for semiconductor manufacturing. We come up every so often on HN as leaders in EUV optics manufacturing for ASML scanners. SMS is a branch of SMT concerned with standalone tooling for quality assurance and defect inspection in semiconductor fabs (tools like the AIMS EUV or PROVE systems, for example). We bring complete solutions to the hypercompetitive market that is the semiconductor industry. The scale is vast – the work you can be involved in ranges from simulations at the nanometer to how to ship tools via using Boeing 747(s).

Software (and extremely diligent/precise engineering… honestly it blows my mind regularly) underpins everything we do and spans the same vastness of scale. We (Zeiss SMT, but also SMS where I work) are hiring in pretty much every IT field as we modernize systems, upgrade legacy code, and build cutting-edge new tools and platforms to remain at the front of the field. Specifically interesting to HN (I think) is my team, which works on developing extremely fast physics simulation and data processing code utilizing classical algorithms, machine learning, and _AI_, all on premise. We also build and maintain the hardware (HPC clusters) to enable these developments.

Desirable skills Python (scientific, HPC, ML, physics simulation), image analysis (big, big data processing, very fast), CUDA, C++, HPC architecture design/on premise rack configuration, HPC admin, DevOps infrastructure (physical as well as CI/CD), GPGPU programming, FPGA programming, QA engineering, Kubernetes

I can post some job links tomorrow, but if you have questions please either comment or reach out to me at thomas dot pekin at zeiss dot com. I’ve been working here for a year and it’s a lot of fun.

Resemble AI creates high-quality synthetic voices that capture human emotion. We're a venture-backed high-growth startup that's looking to shake up an entire industry with state of the art AI. Our product changes the way that thousands of brands, media companies, creative agencies, and game studios create speech content. We believe that to build an enticing product and solid team is by encouraging innovation is by enabling continuous education. That's why every Friday is a day that you can use to work on anything you want, Resemble-related or not.

Recently, we open sourced a state of the art speech enhancement model: https://github.com/resemble-ai/resemble-enhance

We're hiring for three roles:

Full Stack Engineer - Can you break the entire stack? You're the right person for this job. Work on our Rails app, with sprinkles of React, and Python for the deep learning. Everything is dockerized, and we use Kubernetes to deploy.

Frontend Engineer - We're hiring a Frontend Engineer proficient in React, TypeScript, and Ruby on Rails to shape our user experience. Join our team to develop user-friendly interfaces and collaborate on building exceptional web experiences.

Product Designer - As a Product Designer, you will lead the end-to-end design process, from concept to implementation, ensuring a seamless and delightful user experience. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define product vision, conduct user research, create visually compelling interfaces, and develop interactive prototypes.
