Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2017)

We believe that the way consumers and businesses interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. Plaid's goal is to enable this shift by building the tools and infrastructure that allow developers to create the next generation of financial services applications. Today, hundreds of companies such as Robinhood, Acorns, Coinbase and Venmo rely on Plaid to integrate with banks and the financial system.

Plaid’s infrastructure handles millions of requests per day and thousands of bank integrations, and we pride ourselves on maintaining a robust API to support the developers who depend on us -- and the millions of consumers who use their apps. Our API and most of our services are written in Go and Typescript. Our infrastructure is built on top of AWS, Elasticsearch, Redshift, S3, Spark -- and although we love trying new technology as individuals, as a team we are pragmatic in our choices, favoring the right tool and not the flavor of the month.

We're Series B and our current team is about 85 (including 35 in engineering).

If you are interested in any of our roles please reach out to me over email - jgreze __at__ plaid.com Here is a link to our job postings: https://plaid.com/careers/

I am a research support programmer in the College of Literature, Science and The Arts (LSA) at the University of Michigan, and we are adding a programmer to the Advocacy and Research Support team.

The official posting is: http://careers.umich.edu/job_detail/142167/research_support_...

We are a small team (currently 3) that handles any programming job that a lab in our college can’t handle internally. We do a lot of work in MATLAB, LabView, and C. Some examples of my recent projects are:

- Write an iPad app and database backend to allow users to easily input data into a MySQL database while assembling small robots in a cleanroom.

- Write a genetic algorithm program in MATLAB to process protein crystallography data.

- Fix a Java/PHP/SQLite webpage that someone wrote a few years ago and is now crashing.

- Add an Arduino controlled servo to an existing Script used to collect data with an automated microscope.

- Build a template project so that archieology students can easily add their artwork to a HoloLens program and share/visualize the sites they are studying.

If you have any questions you are welcome to email me, but you should apply directly via the official post. The pay is reasonable for the area, and we have a nice, low-stress work environment. The projects vary greatly, and you will have the opportunity to work on large and small projects in a variety of languages. We are putting an emphasis on candidates that have some lab/research work. A CS Degree is not required. I am a mechanical engineer by schooling and I fit in well.
