Posted this last month and got a lot of great response so I figure it was due for an update...

I joined Smartcar to head up business development at Smartcar. Previously, I founded an event discovery startup that raised $3M and brought it to a $1.5mm run rate. When I was looking for my next role, I was focused on industries that were certainly going to change in the next 5 years: VR, insurance, transportation and eSports. Smartcar falls under transportation and touches insurance; these are two massive industries ripe for disruption. Transportation is nearly 10% of US GDP.

Smartcar is building the open source standard for telematics in the car. We enable dorm room startups to Fortune 500 insurance companies to buid applications on the car. Developers using the platform can create a service that automatically fuels up a driver's car without the driver even having to know by accessing the telematics in the vehicle.

We're a well funded startup, have revenue and a great team hailing from Google and LinkedIn looking to add 3 more. Since last month, we've been moved quickly with customers (can talk about it over the phone) and need help with development.

Your voice will be heard and you will determine the company’s future technical roadmap. You will be an excellent generalist who is skilled at multitasking and performs a number of duties, including, but not limited to: - Designing/architecting the foundational API for cars. - Building secure and scalable web and API backends. - Integrating with testing, coverage and deployment pipelines. - Designing SQL database schemas, as well as managing backups and migrations. - Instrumenting metrics for tracking API usage. - Working with Node.js, Postgres, Redis, Docker, AWS.

Interview process is:

1. Optional phone call to learn more about the company (415 404 5650).

2. Technical phone interview

3. Take-home coding challenge

4. 2 hour onsite interview with the whole team

As our company is small, if you prefer to interview in a different way, let us know. We just want to get a good understanding of who you are before making decisions.

$90K to $130K + up to 1.5% equity

Interested? email me at Martin@Smartcar.com or call me at 415 404 5650.

Do not contact if recruiters.

Recursion is a startup with less than 20 people, but we generate rich biological data at a pace comparable to the biggest institutions anywhere doing biology and disease research. ​We have literally millions of images like those seen below, from experiments we conducted in our lab, and we generate terabytes more each week. Our biggest challenge and biggest opportunity is to extract the most information we can from this massive amount of data.

* Research Data Scientist - http://www.recursionpharma.com/senior-data-scientist.html

* Deep Learning Computational Scientist - http://www.recursionpharma.com/deep-learning-computational-s...

* Data Science Engineer - http://www.recursionpharma.com/data-science-engineer.html

* Data Scientist - http://www.recursionpharma.com/data-scientist.html

* Computational biologist / bioinformatics - http://www.recursionpharma.com/computational-biologist-bioin...

* Data Visualization/Interaction Engineer - no post yet - D3 et al

Logistics: Salt Lake City, Utah. Hiking/running/biking is literally out our back door, and it's half an hour to 5 ski resorts. Competitive pay, health insurance, relocation assistance (onsite is required), equity, a top-caliber team, and help make a massively positive impact. Happy to sponsor, but you need to already be US authorized.

Tech: Data science: python scientific stack (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, bokeh, etc). Software infrastructure: mainly go. Deep learning (e.g. convolutional networks) we're mainly using the python frameworks (keras, theano, tensorflow, etc).

Send background and code to me (co-founder/cto) at datasci@recursionpharma.com. Must be US-authorized. Our team of 12: http://www.recursionpharma.com/team

Our mission is to make DevOps easier for everyone, so they don’t have to waste resources on writing code to run their applications, instead of writing code for their applications.

If you’re interested in any or all of the following you should apply: cloud computing / AWS, conversational UI, chat bots, machine learning, Python, ElasticSearch, DevOps, distributed computing, or fully remote teams.

* What you will be doing: We have a long list of features we want to add to our chatbot, Yeobot, so you’ll be writing Python code (and maybe a little bit of Javascript) to implement those features in our chat bot. Since we’re building a fully serverless stack, which is a fairly new thing, there are a lot of opportunities to solve new problems around development and deployment too, like how do we automate deployment to AWS Lambda, how do we do tests, how do we manage code, etc, so you’ll be helping us figure out how to do that too.

We’re a fairly new company, so there will be a lot of freedom but also plenty of guidance if wanted. Code reviews are usually a pleasant learning experience.

* To apply: Send an email to {anything}@jedberg.net (be creative!) with the subject "job application". In the email tell us why we should hire you over any other applicant. What makes you better or more driven? How will contribute in a way that no one else can? How will you increase our diversity (and by diversity we don’t mean gender and race, we mean diversity in life experience and culture and opinions).

Then please attach a code sample of code you wrote the majority of, the more substantive the better. If it’s public, just send the link, and if it’s private, add it as an attachment or add github.com/jedberg as a reader, as long as you have permission to share from the owner (no secret corporate code please!).

We don’t care much about resumes — if you have one send it along, or just a link to your LinkedIn or equivalent is fine too.

If we like what you wrote, we’ll offer you an interview, which will be a video chat where we’ll talk about what you wrote in your email, and then ask you questions about the code you submitted.

Why CloudNative:

* We’re just starting out so you get to play a big part in the direction of our product and company culture

* Our founder (me) is an AWS Hero, as well as one of our advisors, and our other advisor wrote boto and the AWS command line.

* We’re building on a totally serverless stack with AWS Lambda, DynamDB, ElasticSearch and GitHub.

What: Summer Data Science Fellowship

Program: The Catenus Science Apprenticeship Program identifies top data scientists who will raise the bar when hired at a startup. To help meet this goal, the program will train qualified candidates to have immediate, meaningful impact as data scientists in some of the top data startups in the world. This program will hone their skills in statistics, machine-learning, programming, and product development by presenting them with real-world challenges put forth by startups in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area.

What We Offer: Catenus Science offers a fully-paid, 13-week apprenticeship during which we reinforce technical and business skills. We do this via a mix of formal instruction and hands-on application of data science in some of the best startups in the world. Every startup is different, and each has its own unique culture and opportunities. That is why we want to give apprentices exposure to several places so they can find the right fit. Apprentices will have the opportunity to do rotations through three startups in a three month period while receiving training and mentorship the entire time. These startups will have well-scoped, immediately impactful data science problems for apprentices to solve. The program is structured such that apprentices have four days a week of full-time employment at a startup and one day a week of instruction. Apprentices are expected to already be knowledgable in data science, so we view these instructions as a way to hone their skills. In addition, we will use this time for apprentices to present the problems they are working on to the group. This way they can teach about new insights and seek help when faced with obstacles.

Who We Are Looking For: We are looking for candidates who posses technical virtuosity, communication skills, and business sense to use data in impactful ways. Necessary, but not sufficient, mathematical skills include a mastery of statistics and machine learning, and the ability to tell the difference between these two fields. Apprentices should have the hacking proficiency to code any idea regardless of programming language. Nobody can understand those who cannot communicate. You should be able to clearly convey your thoughts, both in writing and orally. Communication does not end at expressing yourself, though. We expect apprentices who recognize the strengths of new ideas by listening to and understanding others. Finally, we have seen time and time again that the best data scientists are ruthlessly pragmatic. The ones creating state-of-the-art products understand the domain-problems they are solving and how to deliver those solutions efficiently. Apprentices should be able to formulate solutions to relevant business problems with data science tools. Furthermore, they should be able to identify new business opportunities by looking at data.
