Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2018)

Feature Labs, Inc. | Software Engineer | Boston, MA | Full-time | On-site | http://www.featurelabs.com Feature Labs builds tools and APIs to enable reliable and accurate data science automation. With our technology, users can discover the most predictive patterns in behavioral and transactional datasets to accelerate the data science process.

We’re growing our technical team with engineers interested in pushing the boundaries of data science and feature engineering automation. In this role, you have the opportunity to define and implement big data systems while collaborating with our top notch engineering team.

Currently, our stack is mostly Python on the backend (pandas, django, sklearn), React for the front end, and AWS and docker for deployment. Above all, we prioritize the ability to choose the right approach to solve a problem. Our first product, Featuretools, is available as an open source python library here: https://www.featuretools.com/.

Narrative I/O | New York, NY | Full-time | ONSITE, REMOTE | http://narrative.io/

Narrative is building the first global data marketplace. It has often been said that data is the new currency. Unfortunately, maximizing the value of data is often easier said than done. On one side, transacting via individual point to point integrations carries a lot of overhead in both business development and technical integration efforts. On the other, going through big aggregators introduces opacity in the pricing and provenance of the data. At Narrative, we help our customers get value from their data by building a central auction platform to reduce the friction and tooling to increase the transparency in this process.

We are a small, early stage team looking for great developers who want to jump in and take major systems and user-facing features from design to launch. Here's where we are now:

- We are operating in Amazon Web Services. Our services are mainly deployed on EC2 provisioned with Terraform.

- We also heavily use other technology on AWS such as DynamoDB, S3, and RDS.

- Our backend includes a data ingestion web service with supporting Kinesis consumers, along with a growing array of Spark projects. It’s written mostly in Scala, with a smattering of Python for lambda functions.

- We sit somewhere in the middle of the “Scala as a worse Haskell” and “Scala as a better Java” spectrum. We love functional programming and we do make use of libraries like cats, but at the same time we heavily favor core language features and have no intention of rewriting everything using Free Monads.

- Our frontend is written in Typescript with Angular2 and a supporting API running on Node, and is deployed and monitored using much the same supporting tech as the backend.

- Other services we use include: GitHub, CircleCI, DataDog.

Peterson Center on Healthcare | Tech Lead / Full-stack engineer | Full Time | ONSITE | New York, NY http://petersonhealthcare.org/

Our tech stack: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, JavaScript (React), AWS EC2/S3, Travis CI

We are a team of technologists, designers, doctors, and healthcare professionals on a mission to transform the US healthcare system into a high performance system so that affordable, high quality care is available to all. The Center is a startup nonprofit healthcare innovation lab with a significant initial endowment ($200M). Our advisory board includes healthcare and technology experts including everyone from Bill Gates to Toby Cosgrove.

We believe the biggest lever for reducing cost and improving quality of care is through changing the behavior of healthcare professionals. Our first focus area is on primary care, and we have built out an initial software-enabled service to help practice managers introduce evidence-based workflow changes, see the impact these changes have on metrics that matter to the practice, and sustain these changes over time (think of it almost like teaching the agile process to healthcare professionals).

We are looking for a hands-on tech lead/manager (http://petersonhealthcare.org/careers/software-engineering-t...) to be the anchor of our engineering team as we grow our headcount in the next year and a full-stack engineer (https://petersonhealthcare.org/careers/full-stack-engineer) to work on our core web application. A passion for improving the healthcare industry and driving positive social impact is a huge plus.
