====About Elation====

We want to help people live happier, healthier lives by building fantastic tools at the center of the physician-patient relationship. We’ve iterated on our product with working physicians, and each one of us has spent hours shadowing in a physician practice to understand the physician’s and patient’s real needs. Elation helps doctors quickly find, digest, act upon, and share clinical information to care for their patients, and it helps patients get access to their clinical information wherever they are. Now we're scaling our customer base fast. You can read more about our goals and philosophy on Quora (https://www.quora.com/What-product-is-ElationEMR-building) and on our blog (https://blog.elationemr.com/uncategorized/emr-ehr-phr-why-ac...).

====About the Developer Role====

Elation’s development team is a small group of really talented engineers who are passionate about our product and our users. As a member of the team you’ll be involved in product design and development, work on all parts of the stack, and deploy your changes to production weekly.

Here are some other things that we think make building software at Elation awesome:

* Communal code-ownership

* Frequent deployments (once or twice a week, on average)

* “Right tool for the job” approach to technology (current stack is primarily Python, Django, MySQL, Javascript, AWS, Elasticsearch, Redis)

* Remote friendly, work from anywhere

* Take-as-you-need vacation

* Competitive salary and equity

If you think we might be a fit for each other, drop us a line at jobs+hn@elationemr.com and tell us about what you’ve built and why what we’re doing resonates with you!

Quantopian (https://www.quantopian.com/about), Boston, MA

Quantopian is hiring software and operations engineers to help us disrupt the world of finance. We've built the world's first web-based algorithmic trading platform, and we're growing our team to support our rapidly expanding user base and to build everything on our ambitious product roadmap.

We're well-financed by some of the savviest investors in the business (Spark Capital, Khosla Ventures, GETCO, and various individuals).

We work on interesting problems, such as:

* Running arbitrary user code on our own servers, with all the associated security implications

* Designing and building intuitive and powerful research and development tools and APIs for our users Designing data stores to model real-world financial data and optimizing them for high throughput when running trading simulations

* Communicating with broker APIs to trade real money on our users' behalf

* Metering and autoscaling our cloud infrastructure to respond to varying load

* Designing and building an amazing user experience, both on desktop and mobile

So far, we've built Quantopian with Python and Ruby on Rails (and a little Node.js) on AWS and Heroku. We depend heavily on Redis, and our Docker usage is rapidly growing. However, we are very pragmatic and our highest priority is shipping user-delighting features built with the most sensible technologies. Be sure to check out Zipline (https://github.com/quantopian/zipline), our open-source backtester. We have several other projects that we plan on open-sourcing as well.

We've assembled a top-notch product and engineering team here in Boston, and we're growing fast. We're open to all levels of experience, from still-in-college to seasoned veteran. A financial background is not necessary at all (but is always nice to have).

We're still small enough that you will have a material impact on our company's trajectory. Our small size and ambitious goals dictate our approach to talent acquisition and retention: we believe in hiring the best engineers and giving them hard problems to solve and the autonomy to solve them.

Ideally, you:

* have a solid background in computer science fundamentals

* have good communication skills

* thrive on designing, building, and shipping mind-blowing features that delight our users

We provide:

* All the standard stuff (fully paid health and dental for you and your family, 5% 401(k) matching, gym and phone reimbursement, pretax transit, weekly catered lunch).

* Your choice of computer equipment

* A beautiful new office (in October) in downtown Boston

* Fun and intellectually stimulating work environment. We ship early and often. We have lives outside of work. We like each other.
