Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2018)

Reliable Robotics is a company that believes automation should be, above all else, reliable and safe.

We are building the system to make airplanes into fully autonomous airplanes, from taxiing, through takeoff and flight, to landing, and believe in the future that autonomous flight will make travel and transport cheaper, easier, safer, and more available to everyone.

The team here is made up of brilliant minds with backgrounds at places like SpaceX, Google(X), Tesla, Apple, HoneyBee Robotics, Virgin Orbit, NASA, etc and we work with autonomy, creativity, and freedom to get things done.

If you think self flying planes sound amazing, and look for hard challenges that you, yourself have the freedom to solve, this is the place for you.

We need software engineers to do everything from Flight Software and Controls software to embedded software and ground systems (UI, Infra, Data Pipeline).

You can message me at mattw@reliable.co to hear more about our test flights, the mission, the future, and our current team.

RaiseMe | Principal, Senior, Full-stack engineers | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, Full-time

RaiseMe is expanding access to higher education by reinventing how students earn scholarship dollars from colleges. Our platform allows colleges and universities to award incremental "micro-scholarships" to high school and community college students, based on academic, testing, extracurricular, and real-world experience. We've over 250 college partners, and users in 1 of 2 high schools in the US. Many of our students earn tens-of-thousands of dollars for college. The coolest part of our platform is how it educates students about the possibility of college in the first place. Many of our users are first-generation college attendees, or minority or low-income students.

We closed our Series B earlier in the year, bringing our total funding to around $30M. Our investors include Salesforce Ventures, Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, Teamworthy Ventures, and First Round, among others.

Motivity Systems is hiring a full stack developer in Seattle to help on our mission to make autism behavior therapy more efficient, effective and able to reach more patients in need.

We are currently preparing our flagship product for release early in the new year that will allow therapists to specify therapeutic programs within our system, which in turn generate interfaces for recording performance on tasks (games, response to certain prompts, etc.) and real-time visualization of patient progress tailored to the various roles involved in patient care.

Some functional programming experience might help, but certainly isn't required -- honestly we're really just looking for sharp developers who are enthusiastic about learning and being a part of a growing, early-stage (but thankfully well-funded!) startup.

Beeswax | New York, NY | Sr. Software Engineer | Full Time | ONSITE |

Beeswax provides Real-Time Bidding as a service. If you’re not familiar with this world, we create software that advertisers use to bid on the opportunity to show an ad when someone loads a webpage or a mobile app. This means we handle massive scale (~1 million queries/second) and need to handle complex messages and large data sets with latencies under 20ms. On top of our technical challenges, we maintain an exhaustive list of bee-related puns and constantly keep coming up with new ones.

After working together for several years on the Ads team at Google our three co-founders decided to start Beeswax because they saw a change in this market. Four years later their efforts have borne fruit and their predictions validated leading us to double in both revenue and team size over the past two years with a clear plan to double again this coming year.

We’re a software company right down to our core with engineers from major tech companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook as well as engineers from many other excellent software cultures. Beeswax is well funded (RRE and Foundry Group amongst others) and far beyond the ramen hustle stage with benefits and a culture that encourages growth and long-term success. We are funded by leading angels from the ad tech ecosystem, in addition to Foundry Group, RRE, Highland Capital, SV Angels, and Revel Partners

We're looking for both Sr. and Experienced Engineers to join our backend distributed systems teams which process more than 25 Billion events daily. We're fairly tech agnostic in regards to prior experience, however, this role would have you working with a tech stack built in production C++ & Python. Most of our team did not have this experience prior to joining Beeswax.

At Beeswax we stand for: Transparency: We pride ourselves on providing complete visibility into the successes, and sometimes failures, of our business as we grow and scale. It is an integral part of our culture as we collaborate and work towards a common goal across functions.

Control: Control and ownership over individual business impacting projects empowers our employees to think critically and contribute to the development of Beeswax as an industry challenging platform.

Flexibility: We empower our employees in a work environment that is conducive to creating the optimal work/life balance.
