Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2024)

Vectara is a retrieval augmented generation (RAG) as a service platform. We have a ton of IP already: an embedding model that outperforms Cohere and OpenAI, a reranking model that does similarly, a generative model that outperforms GPT 4 for RAG, a prompt engine that can provide citations and markdown/HTML links in RAG use cases, a leading hallucination detection model, well as our own internal high-performance vector/hybrid database. We just raised $25 million in series A and we're hiring a number of roles.

I personally lead product and before Vectara led product management teams at Kong and Elasticsearch at Elastic and am looking for a technically minded product manager with a few years experience in B2B. Location is pretty flexible for the role, but I'd prefer someone in the US to help increase our timezone coverage for US-based deals and working with our many US (mostly west coast) colleagues. I'm based in Berlin now after having been in SF for the past ~15 years.

All positions are at https://vectara.com/careers/#job-listings, but if you're a PM and interested in developer-focused GenAI, you can reach me at shane at [our domain, above]

BillionToOne is ranked at the top 5% of Y Combinator companies with close to $400M in funding. In June 2024, we closed a $130M Series D resulting in a company valuation of over $1 billion. This funding has come from prestigious global institutional investors, including Hummingbird, Adams Street Partners, Neuberger Berman, Baillie Gifford, and Premji Invest.

We have developed a DNA molecular counter that increases cfDNA diagnostic resolution by over 1,000x. Our first product, Unity, is the first and only non-invasive prenatal test that can directly screen an unborn baby and assess its risk for: common and severe recessive gene disorders; chromosomal abnormalities; fetal sex; and fetal antigens from a single tube of blood from the pregnant mother. This greatly improves the quality of care and is on its path to becoming the next standard-of-care.

Our software stack includes Python/Django, React/Typescript, Terraform, AWS, and many other standard tools. We're a small, but nimble software team that prioritizes rapid iteration and continuous feedback to evolve our product. As a biotech company, we inherently need to always work cross functionally. If you enjoy this style of work, please reach out!
