Notable Labs (YC W15) | https://notablelabs.com | San Francisco, CA | Full Time | Onsite

Changing the way cancer is treated is our personal mission, which starts with putting patients first. We’ve developed an individualized laboratory testing service for cancer patients and their doctors. We screen thousands of FDA-approved drugs against the patients own cancer cells to identify drug combinations that can be immediately prescribed by their doctor without a clinical trial. By repositioning treatment as a patient-centered service we can unlock the power of modern data science and laboratory automation to achieve the promise of combination therapy and personalized medicine.

== Looking for ==

Fullstack engineer

Help build out the stack powering our robotic lab. You'd join as the third engineer and would own the frontend dashboards and related API's.

The day to day work would involve designing web apps with the science team for use in the lab and then building out the frontend code and backend API's. Beyond the core infrastructure, you'd have the freedom to explore new areas where we need help such as machine learning, robotic automation, and data visualization. Experience with Ruby/Python, Angular/Backbone/React, Grunt/Gulp, API design a plus.

Data Scientist

Use machine learning to help us decide which drug combinations to test for a patient. Even with automation, we're only able to test less than 5% of the combination space. You would work with the science team to design the features and then would work with the engineering team to put the model into production. Experience with bioinformatics, machine learning, Python, R, API design, and nosql products a plus.

== Tech Stack ==

Ruby/Rails for automation API's, Angularjs frontend, Python for data analysis, AWS and with Chef

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> At least 1 commit / hour Such a vanity metric for productivity is a red flag, reminds me of the old school horror stories of managers so out of touch with software development that they recorded Lines of Code counts as a means of measuring performance. Curious as to the reasoning.

This is a company making a device for Pavlovian conditioning.. Remember, you'll get zapped if you don't make that commit on time!

SpatialKey | spatialkey.com | REMOTE | Full-time

Front-end Developer

SpatialKey is hiring a Front-end Developer to join our small team. We’re a group of about 20 people, all remote, about half of that is dev. We’re looking for a solid front-end developer who can help us build the next generation of our platform. SpatialKey is a mapping and data-vis app, targeting the insurance industry. We can tell an insurance company how many buildings they have in the path of an oncoming hurricane, or what the flood risk is at a given location, or how much damage the worst theoretical tornado strike can do to their portfolio.

Historically we’ve had a large codebase built on Adobe Flex. We’re in the process of rebuilding the next version in HTML, with React/Flux as the primary framework. You would be heavily involved in that new HTML/JS development. Experience developing and shipping complex enterprise HTML/JS apps in a team environment is a must. Solid knowledge of CSS, JS fundamentals, Node and npm as dev tools, etc. Prior work with React would be nice but is not required.

We’re a fully self-funded profitable company. We haven’t taken a dime in VC funding and are growing based on the old fashioned idea that we produce valuable software and we sell that software for money (imagine that!). No advertising, no fake it till you make it Silicon Valley BS. We’ve been around for 8 years and have an extremely stable customer base and growth prospects. We’re proud of what we build and stand behind quality software.

To apply email jobs@spatialkey.com or email me directly at doug.mccune@spatialkey.com. We’ll have an official job posting online soon, but for now shoot us an email and say hi. We're fully remote but it's a lot easier for us to hire candidates in the USA.

Vidados | https://www.vidados.com | London, UK | Full Time | Onsite | Front end designer / developer

Around the world, many small businesses offer amazing activity holidays in great locations. Think wine-tasting in Bordeaux, surfing in Morocco, cookery in Tuscany. Due to their activity and their personal nature, these holidays do not fit into the standard package holiday systems.

Vidados is aiming to provide the tools to help these holiday providers fly. Starting with an online marketplace at www.vidados.com but progressing to bookings through all channels, email marketing, inventory management and much more.

We already have a beautiful, functional, responsive front end but there is so much more we want to do, so we are looking for an in-house designer / CSS developer to help us do it.

You should:

- have a great eye for design and feel for usability

- understand HTML and CSS and be able to turn your concepts into reality

- either be competent with JavaScript or at least have an idea for what is possible with it

We are an angel-funded startup but we already have a year of real revenue and growing traction. We have ideas coming out of our ears and are a very friendly bunch and it's really a great place to work.

If this sounds interesting to you please contact gareth[at]vidados[dot]com.
