Hi! Randomly scrolling here but I read your compensation page in the handbook [1] and have a question: Since compensations are set by/in coordination with the candidates, but are not shared with others, how do you avoid systematic bias? IIRC studies show pretty clearly that e.g. women (for whatever reasons, but let's not go there) systematically negotiate for lower salaries. Do you have processes to at least monitor…
I don't doubt that you're asking this in good faith and it's a legitimate question. However, it's offtopic in Who Is Hiring threads, so I've detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31948012 . It's offtopic in Who Is Hiring threads because this isn't a feasible place to have an expansive discussion about a topic that is important, general, inevitably controversial, but tangential to any speci…

#414Genpax is building a game-changing bacterial analysis platform. This is an opportunity to have a real-world impact on thousands of lives each year.
Infection control is the practical, evidence-based approach which prevents patients and health workers from being harmed by avoidable infection. No one should catch an infection while receiving health care, yet, these infections can spread through outbreaks and regular care practices, affecting hundreds of millions of people across the world every year.
At Genpax our goal is to radically increase the utility, scalability, and speed with which genome sequencing data delivers infection control solutions for human and animal healthcare worldwide. This will enable proactive control at early stages of outbreaks, and to respond appropriately to more dangerous or more antibiotic resistant strains. We have developed unique solutions to address the challenges and our goal is to provide access to these solutions in a fully scalable system.
We already have a world-class scientific team of bioinformaticians, and we're building out an engineering team to match. We need to productionise the analysis pipeline to scale out, and design and build a stunning user-facing product. We’re still in early stages - so far we’re using Python, GraphQL and React/TypeScript/d3.

#417How we buy goods is shifting it's reorganizing from around the automobile to around the smartphone and desktop. Sock Club has grown organically from a D2C e-commerce brand to a custom socks manufacturer and now to a service and design focused e-commerce experience. We are targeting the huge dinosaur industry of corporate gifts and promotional products. It’s an industry where service and design can separate us from other companies and where behemoths like Amazon can’t compete. We already have a service and design team that delivers a high quality experience to our clients. We are building a development core to build a web experience and software tools to make it so that team (staying the same size) can deliver the same experience to 10x the number of clients. If you're interested in this opportunity contact me at dane@sotmclub.com.

Re: Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2022)
#420We are a super un-sexy, VC-backed, revenue-generating, Trade Finance automation company (think Pipe for the real world) that's bringing the the $10tn Trade Finance space in to the 21st century.
The problem we're solving
When Walmart gives La Croix a $100k order for seltzer, not only does Walmart not pay after receiving goods for 3-4 months but La Croix has to cover the cost of actually making their goods for a bunch of time (months). As a small business, this sucks hard. Fishtail will lend to La Croix when they get an order from Walmart so they can satisfy demand without tying up huge amounts of working capital. Usually banks will lend to folks only when the product makes it to Walmart (and only to large companies, who don't traditionally need $) -- the net effect of Fishtail is that we lend earlier in the chain to smaller businesses (which is a super duper hard problem).
Tech stack
Our web stack is Ruby on Rails + turbo/stimulus/tailwind - data stack is python/pytorch + spark. We get a boatload of data tracking every vessel in the water/every plane in the sky (among other datasets like every trade transaction that has happened over the past N years).
Fun fact
We have a sustainability-linked trade finance product where we can tie the interest rate of our loans to the sustainability of the individual shipment (i.e. the greener the shipment, the better your interest rate) -- this is super nifty when you consider that transportation is responsible for ~30% of the world's green house gas emissions and there's really no good way to identify the best option to get from A to B.
What we need
We're looking for support taking our product to the next level on all fronts (engineering, data, sales, marketing/propaganda, etc) but are mostly looking for web people to help us build out our customer-facing product and folks who can help us scale our data work.
Reach out to hiring@fishtail.ai if you want to help small businesses win while saving the planet with us.
