There’s no posting for it currently, but we’re also interested in resumes for a site reliability engineer position. Candidates need substantial experience in SRE or operations, and need to be comfortable writing Python, but we’re looking more for skills in systems, cloud, and database administration than application development.

Meliora Therapeutics is a biotech startup leveraging modern genomics and machine learning to discover and develop cancer drugs. In short, the vast majority of cancer drugs fail in clinical trials, and much of the time off-target effects are to blame. We're using sophisticated genomic and machine learning techniques to accurately characterize how drugs affect cells and thereby to develop new drugs more efficiently. Our platform has already surfaced a number of interesting candidate drugs with promising laboratory validation and we are just getting started.

Our founding scientist is on the faculty of Yale School of Medicine and our team has strong experience in software/ML at Google/Verily/Benchling to complement degrees from MIT/Princeton/UPenn. We are moving with urgency to capitalize on the opportunity ahead of us and are fresh off a seed round financing. We are backed by leading funds who were early investors in world class companies such as Gilead, Recursion, Insitro, Benchling, and others.

We're looking for talented, ambitious, and creative machine learning scientists to join us in building a machine learning-driven cancer drug development engine. Previous experience in biology or computational biology is not required.

Hi HN! We’re a YC-backed startup building robots that build large-scale solar farms. It turns out that construction companies literally can't build solar fast enough, so what we're doing is a crucial part of switching the grid over to renewable generation. We're funded and are looking to bring a talented mechanical engineer onto our small team. Check out our Launch HN for more info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30780455

You’ll be a key contributor, helping bring our prototype system to life: an automated, portable robotic factory that fits inside a shipping container.

Our founding team has experience growing companies and building robots like this. One of our founders was the second employee at a robotics startup that recently announced a $1.1B public offering.

Come work with us if you love:

* Fast-paced prototype development with hardware and software components

* Making a positive climate impact through your work

* Hacking on massive construction equipment!
