Catalant - http://catalant.co | Greensboro, NC | CTO

===== WHO ARE WE? =====

Catalant is a realtime employee engagement platform, tackling the Gallup estimated $0.5tn (yes, that's trillion!) in annual losses due to employee disengagement. We know it's a big ocean to swim in, and so we're starting by focusing on operations based industries, particularly manufacturing in CMO and lab based environments. How do we do this? To greatly over simplify things, think of the principles that have made the FitBit so successful (i.e. data tracking, goal setting, social accountability, personal ownership), and apply them to work. It's kind of like that.

===== WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? =====

We are looking for a rockstar javascript developer with strong leadership capabilities who is ready to join a team on the ground floor and help the business grow. In less than 12 months we have launched the product, closed a number of big deals, and have a pipeline of potential customers waiting on us. However, our biggest impediment from growth at this time is myself - I'm currently playing CEO/CTO, and I need someone to takeover the role of CTO. This person will be able to step in and play that role shortly after joining the team.

Our ideal candidate will have UI/UX expertise, with full stack development experience in our technologies. What are we currently using? Angular.js, node.js, sequelize.js, ionic. We are not married to these for the long haul, and as the CTO - you would have a great deal of input on where we go with this.

Booking.com - https://booking.com - Amsterdam, Netherlands

Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.

I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, a lot of interesting problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :) The Dutch government also gives a huge tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.

The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very finely tuned.They take care of you from the moment you get an offer to the point you have set up your house in Amsterdam. Several people have reached out to me from these threads and have been flown to Amsterdam for interviews. Till now around 8 people have been given offers and more are in the middle of the interview process.

If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at Hacker news).

To have an idea of the kind of problems being solved here, you can also look at our dev blog: http://blog.booking.com/

Recursion Pharmaceuticals | SLC, Utah | Onsite, full-time

Senior Data Scientist

We have 20 TB of high-resolution images of human cells, some diseased, some healthy, which we have to statistically distinguish as a first step to finding cures for rare genetic diseases. Our small team of biology and math Ph.D.’s has the potential to save lives and be at the forefront of the revolution in image-based biological analysis.

What we do

There are more than 5,000 untreated rare genetic diseases, which together affect nearly ten million people in the US alone. Each of these diseases affects too few people for traditional pharmaceutical companies to approach them, so we're building a way to seek treatments for hundreds of these diseases in parallel. We aim to find treatments for 100 of them in the next 10 years.

What you’ll do

As the second member of our data science team, you’ll collaborate with our biologists to guide our experimental design, improve the models that drive our analysis, and use our data answer questions that guide our scientific and technical strategy. We currently work mainly with the python scientific stack, including pandas and IPython, and making some use of such libraries as sklearn, while also building our own models for machine learning and statistical inference. See the posts linked below for more details.

Logistics

We're based in Research Park at the edge of the mountains overlooking Salt Lake City, Utah. Gorgeous hiking/running/biking is literally out our back door, and it's half an hour to 5 top ski resorts. We offer competitive pay, health insurance, relocation assistance (working at the office is part of the deal), equity, an awesome team to work with, and the chance to impact the world in a massively positive way.

Apply

post #121

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> At least 1 commit / hour Such a vanity metric for productivity is a red flag, reminds me of the old school horror stories of managers so out of touch with software development that they recorded Lines of Code counts as a means of measuring performance. Curious as to the reasoning.

Also find this hilarious in context with the other line that says "Maintain high output while pairing with junior teammates." I also greatly appreciate knowing when a role will involve pairing so I can steer clear of it. There are way more empowering ways to skill up junior programmers that don't involve wasting both engineers' time. Assign an achievable but not insignificant task, have a code review system set up, a…

My experience is very different from yours.

I've been spoilt by pairing, I no longer prefer to work solo.

I've also seen organisations trying to substitute asynchronous code reviews for pairing. They aren't really substitutable. Just as pairing has antipatterns, so do code review systems.

As an analogy, I've coached olympic-style weightlifting. The difference between coaching in person and coaching online is night and day. And coaching beginners pretty much demands fast feedback to be most effective.
