Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2016)

Software engineer (full-stack or front-end, mid-to-senior) We're looking for multiple new team members to help us build and grow our Rails and React applications.

Our stack:

- A lightly service-oriented architecture with the backends powered by Rails and a mix of Rails, Rails and React or full React on the frontend. Whatever makes the most sense for the application in question

- We use Redux as our flux-ish implementation of choice and believe strongly in a styleguide-driven modular CSS architecture to help keep the UI maintainable.

Our values:

- High-quality, robust code. We achieve this with a heavy focus on strong object-oriented design and great test coverage. We're firm believers in the benefits of test-driven development

- Collaboration and continuous learning - we pair program sometimes, we review each others code all the time and we love to pragmatically explore new technologies. We're able to keep our best practices evolving and help each other get up to speed quickly on new things.

- Full-stack skills. We're not all experts on all parts of the stack, but anyone can jump in and help wherever and as the team grows, everyone will be encouraged to rotate projects regularly to stay sharp and challenged.

About you:

- You're strong in either Rails or React (even better if both) and eager to work on both the front and back ends.

- You practice TDD and have strong opinions about why you do it.

Hi! We're Nylas. We build N1, the extensible, open source email client, and the infrastructure powering it. We're looking for fronted application engineers (React, Electron, JS), designers, backend systems engineers, & infrastructure/operations engineers.

We recently launched N1, have accumulated 15K stars on GitHub, and are looking for core application engineers to design an extensible platform around email, calendar, and contacts. You'll not only use modern web tech to build a better email experience, you'll design the developer platform to power the next generation of email apps. See more about N1 here: https://nylas.com/N1 & code: https://github.com/nylas/N1

We have more data for a single user than in most startups' entire database. We're scaling heavily and if you have experience with automated deployments, debugging running systems, release engineering, and on-call schedules, but are still comfortable writing code, we're for you. :)

We take pride in the diverse culture we've built and are looking for more than raw technical talent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7sHc4P4zPg

== We're particularly looking for folks who ==

* Take personal pride in their work and value autonomy and ownership

* Want the chance to step up and lead a team

* Put the work before ego. We've got each others' backs, and we want you to be with us on that

== A bit more about us ==

* Our backend is built on Python, Flask, gevent, nginx, MySQL, AWS, and Debian. We've been careful to keep our architecture componentized.

* N1 uses javascript (ES6), React, Flux, SQL for offline caching, Electron, and no jQuery

* Tons of our code is open source. Check it out: https://github.com/nylas

* We're a team of 15 (12 engineers)

* We have a paid vacation policy & value personal responsibility and ownership. Benefits include free Lyft to & from the office, full health, dental, vision, and lunch every day. Some remote work / work-from-home is OK too

Transcriptic is setting new standards for basic research by making life science discoveries cheaper, faster, and more accessible than anyone thought possible. We enable scientists to run experiments on our automated work cells via our web application from anywhere in the world. 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 they use. Life science research today is incredibly slow, error-prone, monotonous, and expensive with researchers spending many hours a day every day just moving small volumes of liquids from one place to another. We're building a long-term company to completely change the way life science research and development is done.

On top of our robotic work cells is a slew of internal services as well as a Rails app that acts as our lab information management system and customer-facing UI. Challenges for our web devs range from building rich, interactive interfaces for composing protocols to presenting analytical data generated by the lab back to the user. We use d3, React, and CoffeeScript today, but you'd be free to choose your own tools and libraries.

Our bioengineers apply math to hard biological problems, ranging from liquid handling optimization to reasoning about how "identical" reagents diverge over time to interfere with reproducibility. You'll have an opportunity to do original research with internal capacity, too.

We're a rapidly growing startup, now 30-something people, well funded ($15M) and have customers at places like Harvard, MIT, Caltech, UCSF, and Stanford. You'd be able to work on interesting science and hard technology in a small, all technical team with lots of freedom and resources.

We're looking for talented engineers and bioengineers to join our team. You'll have competitive salary and benefits, subsidized commuting, free caffeine and food, and great teammates.
