Kaiserslautern Germany, Software Engineer at Aircloak - REMOTE ((UTC +2) +- 2)

My name is Sebastian, and I am the CTO at Aircloak. Aircloak is a young and well-funded startup working on privacy preserving data processing and analytics. We are a spinout from the German Max-Planck Institute for Software System research institute, where we also currently have our offices.

Our technology allows us to process highly private streams of data and only ever make fully anonymous data available to our customers. One of the features that make our system unique is that no one, including operators, customers, and ourselves, ever has access to the sensitive raw data. This property holds true even after we update the software running on the machines processing the sensitive data!

You should:

    - be intelligent
    - have a good sense of humour
    - be an amazing programmer
    - wish to change the world

Our system spans many machines and services, with major components written in Erlang and Java, in addition to components written in C, C# and ruby. Knowledge of functional programming is a plus. Experience with web development is not going to hurt either.

We are:

    - recent University of Cambridge graduates 
    - one director at the Max-Planck Institute

The work environment is highly international and diverse, and we would like to keep it that way. We are looking to hire two more full time engineers. You can either work on site with us in our offices in Kaiserslautern, Germany, or, for the right candidate, remote. We offer good and stable salary, generous equity and great facilities.

We hope to hear from you. Please email us at jobs@aircloak.com if you have any questions! You can find more on our website: http://www.aircloak.com/join.html

Foster City, CA (Next to San Mateo): full-time or part-time contractor, remote a possibility

=========================================================================

SVBio (http://svbio.com/) is looking for the most talented full-stack software engineer for contract work, with experience and understanding of web architecture design and implementation, following best and up-to-date practices. The work will further enhance the application of our clinical-grade genome interpretation engine. As leaders in the field, we drive the vision of the genome-interpretation product down to the last detail - only modern browsers are supported here!

Knowledge of some specific technologies is greatly desired (see below), but not necessarily required for the right hacker. Knowledge of javascript is a must, as well as the desire to write clean and maintainable code. Knowledge of the genome and next-generation-sequencing technologies is really nice to have, but definitely not required. SVBio is a tightly-knit organization with people from many diverse disciplines and backgrounds, so being an all-around friendly person is a must. Strong preference will be given to candidates that can be on site.

Anyone who is interested should contact me (Edolfo - elicudine -A-T- svbio.com) directly with your background, a resume/c.v., some previous work samples, a github link, whatever you think might help me out.
