Earlier quoted context omitted.

Just to give some examples of the sort of work we're doing recently, we've been assisting the CDC with user research to improve their pages about COVID-19, we've worked with the SBA on their disaster loan assistance program, and we've built tools to provide more granular data to the coronavirus task force, not to mention the USDS folks working at specific agencies like Veterans Affairs to help ramp up capacity. There…

I'm not currently looking, but just generally curious. How does working for USDS compare to working for Google? Even though it's the tech side of government, I have to imagine the cultures are completely different.

I haven't worked for any FANNG company, but have worked as a designer/developer for various govt. agencies. I can only imagine working for a FANNG company as possibly high pressure with a younger demographic. Working in Govt. you will work with people who are family focused, not trying to climb a ladder at all/any cost and the work is an 8 hour day. That has been my experience and I enjoy it!

It's especially important now that companies tell us about their process so that we can compare and expedite, including how many: - technical phone screens - video interviews / coding interviews - projects (esp. length and duration, paid/unpaid, etc) - portfolio / code reviews on past projects - onsite interviews and if there's any whiteboarding or pairing, etc. [note: we'll assume these are virtual now] - will the p…

Thank you, this is very important! There was a job I applied to with a very long interview process and I backed out. Had I known in advance, I wouldn't have applied and wasted their time and mine.

If you have interest in making a difference and helping people attain better care when it is most needed we want to chat.

Our Process:

Our interview process is straight forward, simple and generally quick. Phone screen -> Full technical interview -> Founder interview -> Decision. The phone screen lets us get to know each other a little and makes sure your skills and our needs are in line, as well that you are interested in our mission.

- Min of 3 years of professional experience, 5+ is preferred.

- Solid communication skills, you will be working with everyone from the founders to our sales and client services team

- Able to work remote and keep yourself focused and moving.

- Healthcare experience is awesome, but not required

- Strong understanding and grasp on data processing and data visualization.

Tech Stack:

- Web: Strong Javascript/css/html & general UI/UX skills. Solid framework understanding, primarily Vue.js & React (we moved to Vue but still have React around). Experience with websockets and streaming.

- Server: node.js, redis, postgres, elasticsearch.

- Other tech used: python, AWS, ansible, Git

If this sounds like something you are interested in, send me an email - mark at stasislabs.com - with your resume and any details you want to highlight. The U.S. position requires you to live in the U.S. and we cannot sponsor at this time. The India position requires you to reside and work from Bangalore (with some remote time possible).

Argonne National Laboratory | DevOps | Chicago Area (Lemont, IL) | Onsite | https://www.anl.gov

Are you passionate about making a difference in the world?

Would you like to support scientists performing world-class biology research?

Are you passionate about building cutting edge infrastructure using best practices?

At Argonne, our DevOps group provides IT support for experimental computational projects, where we have the opportunity to leverage cutting edge software and practices. Our software products are collaboratively developed by world class product managers, scientists, designers and developers; along with many collaborations with research institutions across the globe.

Our platform, KBase, aims to be the leading knowledge base for systems biology data and to be publicly accessible to researchers around the world. To meet the key challenges of computational biology, we provide resources to predict and design biological function through a platform that enables secure sharing of data, tools, methods, and conclusions in a unified system. KBase enables researchers to collaboratively generate, test, and share hypotheses about biological functions; perform large-scale analyses on scalable computing infrastructure; and combine multiple lines of evidence to accurately model plant and microbial physiology and community dynamics.

You and the DevOps team will participate in the operation and development of the KBase, PlantSEED and ModelSEED platforms, and make a lasting impact in the field of computational biology.

Most of what this role will work on is open source.

The infrastructure you will be responsible for is hybrid on premise at distributed sites, as well as in the cloud. We use ansible and rancher for configuration management and orchestration. Our application stack is primarily python and javascript, but we also have components written in golang, and java.

Causal | Generalist, Full-stack Engineer | London (UK) or REMOTE | https://causal.app

Causal is a clearer way to think and communicate with numbers. Our product is a number-crunching tool that's a bit like a spreadsheet and a bit like programming, and our vision is to be the de-facto way for anyone to work with numbers on a computer.

We're very early stage, but well-funded by some great investors across the US and Europe, and ready to make our first hires. Regardless of role, you'll play a big part in setting the product and company direction.

---

Roles:

1. Technical generalist

We're looking for a designer OR engineer who can also get involved in sales, operations, and growth. You'll ideally have worked professionally as a designer or engineer, and be interested in doing a bit of everything else. This would suit an ex- or future-founder.

2. Full-stack engineer

Our stack is React/Redux/TypeScript on the frontend, and Node/TypeScript on the backend. We're looking for an engineer who has experience with these technologies.

Our product primarily consists of a web UI on the frontend and a Monte-Carlo computation engine on the backend. The product needs a low floor and a high ceiling — it should be simple enough for anyone to get started with, but powerful enough for really complex use-cases. Performance is paramount on both the frontend and backend.

---

We have a nice office in London (UK) but are also open to remote hires. If this sounds interesting then I'd love to chat! taimur (at) causal.app

Earlier quoted context omitted.

USDS's sister organization, 18F, is remote-first: https://18f.gsa.gov/

Why are there two such organizations? I mean, I know the federal government never stops at one bureaucracy when they can create multiple, but what are the effective differences in focus?

It's more accurate (IMO) to say the two have really different operating models. 18F is funded via cost recovery - agencies have to pay per project via an official agreement between agencies for the work (which can make it harder to do a project). USDS is funded via congressional appropriation, so doesn't need the same types of agreements.
