Theranos - Palo Alto

/* Thank you all for the comments related to the recent Fortune article - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7951019 – Did you watch the video? http://fortune.com/video/2014/06/19/take-the-blood-leave-the... */

Visit a lab for a Doctors appointment recently? Two vials of blood is a lot isn't it? Theranos is looking to completely redefine healthcare by solving speed and accuracy issues of current lab testing by combining SW engineering and life sciences using 1/1000 less blood than what is typically drawn today; our process have results in Doctors’ hands within 6-12 hours allowing them to provide significantly more accurate treatments in a timely manner.

Transcriptic: Full-stack developer (emphasis on frontend) Menlo Park, CA Transcriptic is "Amazon Web Services" for the life sciences. Rather than carry out wet-lab experiments by hand, researchers can code up (or visually configure) their experimental protocols and then run them in Transcriptic's central, highly automated 'biocenter' in an on-demand way. Customers have no upfront capital costs and pay for only what t…

This sounds like it could be a really good fit for me. My undergraduate degree is in biology, I've got an MS is bioinformatics and I'm currently working on my PhD while being a full-time director/lead developer of the IT group in a division of biomedical informatics at a academic health center.

I wasn't actively seeking out employment, but I think I'll apply for this. Thanks!

Mountain View 2 roles in Marketing INTERN - Outreach (or junior full-time) and Director of Marketing Both are our first hires to separate the sales role from the marketing/lead generation role.

These roles are: - NOT Cold-Calling. - NOT content marketing or advertising. - NOT sales (though if you are in sales with experience handling 5 and 6-figure contracts, preferably with SaaS software, please do get in touch).

These roles are about identifying leads, nurturing the relationship, and handing off qualified leads to sales. It's about GROWTH.

We set targets, track progress, and work hard to achieve our goals.

Maybe you've built lead pipelines at a prior startup. Maybe you've read Predictable Revenue, SaaStr, or anything else by Jason Lemkin or Aaron Ross. Maybe you're looking to launch your own startup, but you want to learn what it takes to get users and customers to your door.

Customers include companies like Stripe, Sequoia Capital, and SurveyMonkey. If you like the idea of taking on industry giants who are "too big to succeed" then you should definitely get in touch.

We're a YC company (S2013) building a software platform for the General Counsel (or VP of Legal, Chief Legal Officer, Chief Compliance Officer) at mid to large companies. We're a small team with experienced leadership. We have paying customers today (product is well beyond "MVP"). We are roughly break-even and continue to sell to new customers to reach profitability. We're looking to grow and want some great, high-energy people to join our team.

We're http://www.simplelegal.com. My email address is my first name: Nathan

SF [not remote] - Angaza - http://www.angazadesign.com/

Angaza is tackling both global poverty and climate change through a single focus: building a new energy economy for the billion+ people in off-grid markets. These markets are leapfrogging conventional centralized energy generation, becoming the center of development for the distributed renewable systems that will replace it. Software for integrated metering, finance, and payments makes this development possible.

Angaza is hiring a software engineer to join our team in San Francisco. Your challenges may include extending and scaling our backend platform for payments and analytics; taking our HTML5+JS frontend to the next level; designing synchronization protocols for highly constrained channels; squeezing DSP code into fewer bytes than this paragraph; and traveling occasionally to field sites across the world.

If hired, you will become part of a small team creating a new approach to energy in emerging markets. You will receive both a salary and an equity stake in the company. See http://www.angazadesign.com/jobs/software-engineer/ and contact us at careers@angazadesign.com.

I think its appropriate for somebody to figure out if a potential employer is likely to fire them because of personal donations or political beliefs. Given what happened with Brendab Eich its clear some organisations are more activist and polticial than tech. The recent history of npm's founder (and those at Joyent) suggests he will discriminate if he doesn't like your politics. So why bother wasting time and effort…

Dear Darth Google, We do not believe that our commitment to equality, inclusivity, and diversity constitutes a "politically charged environment". Nevertheless, please feel free to not apply to this job if you worry that your politics would not be a good fit with the culture at npm. I remain hopeful that we will manage to survive without your valuable contribution. Thanks. -- Isaac Z. Schlueter, President and CEO, npm…

I remain hopeful that we will manage to survive without your valuable contribution.

Isaac, you are my new hero. Seriously.

I don't see any jobs in Prague in the list, am I looking wrong?

Also, I have background in (research) AI, reasoning, semantic web, and experience (software engineering) around hadoop and search/information retrieval, (education): machine learning, medical informatics, biology of the cell. I see many possible matches in the US-based jobs. Is there an option for a broader application where you would suggest a good match?

Would it be possible to perform some of the roles offered for US in continental Europe or truly remotely?

Rackspace - San Francisco, CA (will relocate and remote possible)

TLDR; email me if you want a great job writing software to change the world: taylor@hackrackspace.com.

Ok, it's time to make a decision…

Do you want to write closed-source software to enrichen your corporate overlords...do you want to take a flyer with a startup and do all the work without the big founder upside...or do you want to write open-source software and collaborate with other awesome devs around the world working on the leading edge of cloud computing, while making great salary and benefits?

If it's the latter, we are changing the future of cloud computing at Rackspace and collaborating with OpenStack, Docker, CoreOS and anyone else that wants to joint the OSS cloud party. Just check out our latest offering, OnMetal [1], which is a combination of open source software (OpenStack) [2] and open source hardware (OpenCompute) [3].

If you are passionate about OSS/cloud/distributed systems, we would love to have you be part of our team in SF. We have positions available in a startup environment with recent acquisitions Mailgun and Exceptional.io, as well as big, hairy distributed computing problems to solve at Rackspace. So there is something for everyone.

We are located in the SoMa neighborhood in San Francisco on 2nd St. and Folsom.

Below are some positions currently available:

* All: Get stuff done, people that are motivated to make an impact.

* All: Excited to build new products, passion for new technology, new programming models.

* Backend Engineer: Distributed systems experience, passion for large scale systems.

* Frontend Engineer: Architecting interesting fully client side apps, dashboards, live updates, etc...

* Data Engineer: Building big data systems to be used throughout the company.

* Spam Fighting Engineer (Mailgun): Finding spammers and fraudsters with smart algorithms.

* Deliverability Engineer (Mailgun): Automating email deliverability best practices into code.

* Marketing Manager (Mailgun and Exceptional.io): Taking the lead on these teams' marketing efforts.

I was a co-founder of Mailgun and I run the SF office so email me directly if you are interested: taylor@hackrackspace.com.
