Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2014)

Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard - Cambridge, MA - Full time

My group within the Broad, Computational Innovation Lab is hiring a coder to develop a new software/pipeline for genome assembly, annotation and analysis. The tech stack will be a mix of Python, Scala and various JS MVC framework. What's special about the position, IMHO is that our team has a direct working relationship with scientists in the lab (no biz-analysts in between), specifically supporting one lab where the mission is to develop novel genome sequencing techniques (e.g., pac-bio, nanopore sequencing) and another lab whose purpose is to sequence and analyze genomes of infectious disease pathogens (e.g., tuberculosis). So think no morning standup's, "tyranny of agile" but more an ad-hoc academic environment where you'll communicate & work with biologists, have an opportunity to learn both the wet-lab and in silico process of genome sequencing/assembly/annotation, go to all the talks and workshops for different research groups, have ownership over the architecting, coding and dev-ops.

So if you're interested in writing software without the management overhead of a traditional software org, be involved in Bioinformatics research, it might be a good opportunity for you to consider.

Organization-wise, the Broad is not a tech startup, but a genomics research institute that's half-way between industry and academia; computational biology is a big deal here and background of a lot the scientist-users.

ListRunner - San Francisco, CA - (Relocation possible)

Looking for an iOS developer with front-end experience (Html/css/javascript)

About us:

It’s hard to believe but doctors are still stuck managing their team and tracking critical patient information using paper and pager. Using google doc, sms or even email is strictly illegal because those tools aren’t built with patient security in mind. On top of being highly inefficient, managing critical information in a high-speed environment using paper literally kills patients. (400 000 patients every year, just in the US, die from miscommunication errors between doctors).

That’s why we built Listrunner: We bring project management from the modern world into a beautiful HIPAA compliant app. Think Asana for doctors.

About you:

  - You have a few iOS apps under your belt.
  - You have an eye for design and want to create a delightful experience.
  - You can jump in and help crafting html, css and javascript.
  - You’re a team player with startup experience.
