Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2015)

BrandVerity |Seattle, WA| Full-time Onsite Python Developers

At BrandVerity we think big and we don't cut corners. The internet is full of bad guys trying to trick unsuspecting users and make a quick buck. Our mission is simple: Clean up the internet. We're a small company and the only way we can deliver on this mission is if everyone we hire is talented, passionate, and committed to doing things the right way.

We do a lot of web crawling to trace the flow of web traffic, or identify places where their brand is being used incorrectly or inappropriately in specific offers, free form text, or even images. Directing a crawl against big chunks of the web and filtering the results to find the needle in the internet haystack has many challenges, and certainly puts our core work in the "Big Data" realm.

We're looking for an experienced engineer who is a strong individual contributor but also wants to share their experience with some extremely capable but more junior team members. We’re very collaborative, and our engineers are some of the best communicating people around, because we appreciate that even if you can solve a problem well, being able to communicate about it is just as important. The strong developer we’re seeking will have the foundations to easily adapt to a new stack, so we’re not looking for specific skill buzzwords. Experience with Python, AWS, and non-relational data storage would help you ramp up faster, but we’re willing to invest the time if you come with the right stuff but not the same stack.

If this sounds worth having a conversation about, please drop us a line at jobs@brandverity.com

Iterable (https://iterable.com) - San Francisco, CA - ONSITE

Engineering @ Iterable

We're a nimble startup of 8 people (5 engineers) building the growth engine for consumer Internet businesses. Our mission is to build a must-have messaging platform for modern marketers or growth hackers to engage with their users. Customers that rely us for messaging include Yelp, BetterDoctor and MemeBox.

We previously worked at Twitter/Google, and we noticed that every one of these high growth companies would rebuild the same tools and abstractions internally to drive growth. They'd organize some people into a growth team, build software to orchestrate email, push, and prompt messaging, and run experiments.

We've built that ourselves to make those abstractions available to everyone.

There are a lot of interesting challenges in engineering the software - here are a few!

  - Scale our messaging API 
  - Design and write performant, beautiful, asynchronous interfaces 
  - Build integrations with leading messaging platforms: Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Line
  - Built our content recommendation service
  - Make data visualizations for our email and user data 
  - Design an immutable deployment infrastructure for our platform

I'd also really pinpoint our culture. We're all friends and have fun at work. (I know everyone says that, but that social culture is something we missed at larger companies/startups, so it's something we focus on having at Iterable) Some aspects of our culture that make us different:

  - Our company has egalitarian and transparent values (work when you want, on what you want) 
  - We are chill and empathetic people 
  - The company is completely transparent

Technologies you'll work with:

  - Scala
  - ElasticSearch
  - Postgres
  - Redis
  - AngularJS
  - Play Framework
  - RabbitMQ

You'll get to work with us at our office at 5th & Market in San Francisco. If this sounds like an interesting and fun opportunity for you, please email me: andrew at iterable.com

Spire builds and launches small satellites (cubesats) to capture valuable data which we then offer to companies (AIS tracking, weather/climate, etc.). We’re expanding across the globe and will have 20 cubesats in orbit by the end of 2015.

We are a fast moving, energetic start-up applying agile development principles to a traditionally sluggish and overly-burdened industry (and having fun doing it).

You will never be bored at Spire!

Princess Margaret Cancer Centre: Postdoctoral fellowships in computational biology and machine learning - http://pmgenomics.ca/hoffmanlab/join/

Toronto, ON

The Hoffman Lab at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and the University of Toronto, seeks new members for our team. We develop machine learning techniques to better understand chromatin biology. These models and algorithms transform high-dimensional functional genomics data into interpretable patterns and lead to new biological insight. A key focus of the lab is to train a new generation of computational biologists.

We seek postdoctoral fellows for several projects in computational genomics and machine learning. Selected projects include:

1. Integrating epigenomic and sequence data to better understand human gene regulation.

2. Creating models of transcription factor binding that allow us to predict the effects of perturbations.

3. Developing deep learning techniques to find novel behavior in multiple functional genomics datasets.

Required qualifications: Doctorate in computational biology, computer science, electrical engineering, statistics, or physics, obtained within the last five years. Submitted first-author or joint first-author papers in genomics or machine learning research. Experience in scientific programming in a Unix environment.

Not required, but preferred qualifications: Experience with epigenomics and graphical models. Published first-author papers in peer-reviewed journals or refereed conference proceedings. Experience programming in Python, R, C, and C++.

Benefits: Includes extended medical insurance, dental insurance, maternity benefits (15 weeks), parental benefits (additional 35 weeks), Canada Pension Plan contributions, and employment insurance.

We will consider candidates who need a VISA to work in Canada.

To apply: We will accept applications until the position is filled. Please submit your CV (as PDF), your best paper (as PDF), the URL of a code sample, and the names, email addresses, and phone numbers of three references to the address at http://pmgenomics.ca/hoffmanlab/join/#postdoc
