Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2015)

Bayes Impact | Project Development Lead | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE

Bayes Impact is a technology nonprofit that uses data science to solve pressing social challenges across the globe. We build intuitive and powerful software applications that empower governments, nonprofits, and individuals to make critical, data-driven decisions. Our goal is to turn data into actions that impact the lives of billions of people. We believe that while technology shows tremendous promise when it comes to revolutionizing the social space, prototypes and proofs and concept are not useful unless they're actually implemented and as such we only focus on a small number of high impact, long term projects.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for an explorer and visionary to join our team and develop our next big projects. Can algorithms be used to save lives by reducing wait times for ambulance dispatch? Will better data systems improve transparency in the criminal justice system? Is data science the key to realizing the future of personalized health? You will identify big questions like these and answer them with game-changing technology solutions.

Our mission is not just to create reports and recommendations; we build production-level software applications and deploy them in the field. However, turning an idea into a full-fledged operational solution that could improve the lives of millions is no small feat. If you thrive in ambiguity and hustle by nature, this role is for you.

We are looking for someone who can become an overnight expert in social issues, build partnerships, engage researchers, convince funders, negotiate roadblocks, sizing up incumbents, identify relevant technologies, devise software solutions, and do whatever it takes to make things happen.

If you’re interested, please send us your resume and a bit about what you want in your work (/life/love/next meal/etc). Email us at careers@bayesimpact.org. We’ll listen and get back to you.

(We are also accepting applications for full-time data science and software engineering positions.)

Our team of energized and happy brainiacs is made up of diverse interests and personalities. We've got semi-pro athletes, ping-pong enthusiasts, avid surfers, chicken farmers, jugglers, knitters and everything in between. But we share one common focus: making killer products that will improve the really hard and potentially un-fun process of finding the right place to live.

There are so many reasons that working here is great, but we've narrowed it to the top three:

1. There's always something awesome happening. No matter what is being built, we're hard at work figuring out what the next big thing is going to be. Knowing that there's always some innovation on the way keeps this place buzzing. Plus, consistently seeing ridiculous month-on-month user growth doesn't hurt the excitement factor!

2. We're good people. When it comes to hiring, we've adopted a strict "no jerks" rule. Our culture is open and friendly, and not to be trifled with, no matter your level of talent. Whether we are planning projects or grabbing a keg-fresh beer on our roof deck, we genuinely like each other. Who doesn't like that?

3. Start-up fire with big company benefits. Want the fast-moving pace of a start-up with the perks of a company that has been around the block? Us, too. We know that the laundry list of super competitive pay, stock, snacks in the kitchen, and appreciation for a job well done are baseline requirements, so we go way beyond. Investing back into our team's success and future is our goal. Matching 401(k), fully paid medical/dental/vision coverage, multiple flexible spending accounts, and a legit maternity and paternity plan. We've got it all...and then some.

GitHub is hiring across all teams, both in SF and remote: https://github.com/about/jobs.

We especially need sales engineers, which is a great role for any developer or ops person looking to make a transition to sales. Especially important skills:

  * Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  * Customer facing experience as this is a pre-sales role
  * Familiarity with Git and GitHub
  * Ability to talk with both technical and non-technical employees 
    both internal to GitHub and at customer sites

You can see the sales engineering job post here: https://jobs.github.com/positions/2f1183c2-482d-11e4-9945-68...

One last thing that I'd like to point out for all of our roles (it's at the bottom of the job post too, but I think it's important): GitHub is made up of people with many different backgrounds and lifestyles, and we like it that way. We invite applications from people of all stripes. We don't discriminate against employees or applicants based on gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, religion, age, national origin, citizenship, pregnancy status, veteran status, or any other differences that people imagine to discriminate against one another.

Please apply if you think this might be a good fit for you. You can't waste our time!
