I have friends that work in hedge funds (non-algo) and they have said that because the S&P is up 30% in 2019, it is killing the hedge fund industry. Many fund of funds are no longer investing in hedge funds anymore (at least until the next crash). Why would people pay 1-10 for a long-short hedge fund when passive investing is making much more with less risk? They are finding they can't even charge 1-10 anymore and their incentive structure is disintegrating.

Are you finding the same issues with your business? Or are you still getting good levels of investment?

Fern Creek Software | Louisville KY | 100% Remote

Fern Creek is a software consulting company. We build stuff for other people, usually in .NET on Azure but we do other stuff occasionally. The company has been around since I started consulting independently about 20 years ago. Recently I started taking on larger projects that need more people and as a result, started hiring people. Sometimes a 1099, sometimes W2.

This is not super sexy stuff where you will get options that might be worth millions, but likely worth nothing. What you will get is a load of experience on new tech (asp.net core, azure, blazor etc) and a great focus on the best feature of all...shipping.

The job is remote so you don't have to be in Louisville though if you are close that is cool. Set your own hours and all that, I want pros not people that need babysitting.

3 openings right now...

Full stack dev (C#, asp.net core, sql server etc) UX Guru (more than a photoshop jockey, make the html and css for us so we dont have to) QA engineer (test all the things, write unit tests, automated UI tests)

Live the stress free life, work from home, build some cool tech, make money, be happy etc etc.

Shoot me a message at jobs at ferncreeksoftware.com

Searchable.ai | Remote (U.S. resident) or SF | Full Time + Competitive Salary + Benefits + Equity | https://searchable.ai

We're in stealth and this is our second full-time hire outside of the founding team of four. We're an experienced founding team and looking for someone to lead the way on our user-facing product: https://www.searchable.ai/software-engineer.

Plenty of room to explore your interests in multiple parts of our stack (e.g. k8s/distributed systems, nlp/ml, search, etc.) but substantive experience with React and Electron are where we need this role focused in the near term.

We're remote-first but you must reside in the U.S. Travel and work is fine, we currently have one of our team in Mexico visiting family and one in Australia hanging out for a bit :) We also have an office in SF if you prefer to do the office thing!

https://hire.withgoogle.com/public/jobs/leantaascom

Everyone complains that our healthcare system is inefficient and costly. If the idea of working with smart people to actually solve the problem and make it significantly better for our future generations seems worth your time, reach out to me directly at hireme@leantaas.com and I'll put you in touch with the right hiring manager.

We're a Series C funded healthcare tech company based in Silicon Valley obsessed about making our hospitals more efficient with data science and machine learning. 65+ healthcare organizations including the likes of Stanford, Duke, NYP, Dignity, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Tenet and more rely on our products to lower patient wait times, improve staff satisfaction and overall financial performance.

Our vision is to build an "Air Traffic Control" for hospitals - a centralized command and control center that routes the right information to the right department as patients flow through the system - if we get that right, we'll be able to significantly make our hospitals more efficient and eliminate waiting and wastage and solve the problem once and for all.

Root Insurance Co| Columbus, OH / Chicago, IL | Full-time | Onsite preferable / limited remote possible (US only, select roles only)| $80k-$170k

https://root.engineering/

Root is an auto insurance carrier, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers significantly as a result. We're a startup — we're 700+ people who have been working on this since March 2015. We've built an iOS and Android app that gathers data on how well people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We're focused on becoming a national insurance carrier and are now live in 29 states.

We recently raised the largest VC round ever for an Ohio technology company ($523 million in funding to date.) We're planning on leveraging that momentum to continue scaling rapidly and build something truly unique in the insurance industry. To do that, we're looking to bring on more exceptionally talented engineers. Whether you're just getting started out in software development or someone who is looking to lend your experience in leadership to a rapidly scaling engineering organization, we plan on doubling our engineering team in the next year alone.

Our tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native. However, we're not only looking for people with experience in our stack but rather we're looking for experienced technologists with sound engineering fundamentals using any technology.

We're actively hiring in Columbus, OH and are also building an Engineering Team in Chicago, IL that will be working very closely with our telematics data. This team will play a major part in where we're headed, and we're searching for experienced Engineers who are looking to have a significant impact by building and leading a team from scratch specifically in Chicago.

Email us at enghiring@joinroot.com to apply and either Tim or Chris will respond to you promptly.
