Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2018)

Sourceress | Senior Python Engineer Lead | San Francisco | Full-time | Onsite | https://www.sourceress.com/jobs

Do you want to grow into a great engineering leader? We strongly value personal growth, and pay for coaching for all employees.

Other Qualifications:

- Do you love mentoring other developers and helping them grow?

- Are you an incredibly prolific programmer who knows both the value of shipping quickly and the value of software craftsmanship, and has the judgment to know when to apply each?

- Are you empathetic, highly systematic, intensely driven, and intellectually curious? See our values here [1]

Our stack: Python (Django, nltk), AWS (S3, PostgreSQL), Javascript (React)

About Us:

We're a (human-assisted) AI sourcing platform that delivers great results (customer quote: "I'd have a panic attack if you guys stopped existing"). Our mission is to fundamentally change the way that human effort is allocated.

We just raised $3.5M from OpenAI researchers and Lightspeed [2] at one of the highest ever valuations coming out of YC. One founder previously sold a company and is a published machine learning researcher; the other was Chief of Staff at Dropbox, and our team of 10 hails from other great organizations as well (Google, MIT, McKinsey, etc)

We have a real business, customers, revenue, crazy growth, funding--and a ton of work to do. We have machine learning problems that are core to our product, data infrastructure and scaling problems to tackle, and interesting product work to be done as well.

To Apply: Just email me at josh@sourceress.com

Southeast USA including: Texas (Austin and San Antonio), Virginia (Arlington and Dulles), Alabama (Huntsville), Florida (beach east of Melbourne), South Carolina (Greenville), Maryland (Annapolis Junction), and possibly others, all ONSITE. Citizenship is a job requirement.

We do emulators, JIT, hypervisors, stuff like valgrind, debuggers, manual disassembly, binary static analysis, parsers, and assembly. We write our own low-level tools, frequently in C99 to run on Linux. We also use IDA Pro, qemu, Simics, JTAG debuggers, gdb, Coverity, KlocWork, LLVM, and so on. Easily transferable skills include those related to compilers, kernel drivers, embedded RTOSes, vectorizing, firmware, VxWorks BSP development, symbolic execution, boot loaders, software verification, concolic testing, abstract interpretation, satisfiability (SAT, SMT) solvers, and decompilers. We work with more than a dozen architectures including PowerPC/ppc/POWER, MIPS, ARMv8/Thumb2/AArch64, x86-64/x64/Intel, DSPs, and microcontrollers. We hire from no-degree to PhD. Common degrees include Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics.

We don't normally work overtime, and we get paid more if we do. We're never expected to take work home or be on call. Because of the citizenship requirement, there is no chance that the work will be outsourced. Flex-time is fairly extreme; some do randomish hours.

Location hints: Pick Arlington for a car-free life. Pick Florida or Texas to live in a place with solid gun rights and no state income tax. Pick Florida for almost no traffic or commute, surfing, and houses that commonly go for $100,000 to $400,000.

Open Roles

- Language Integration Engineer (Ruby, Python, PHP, Node.js, Lua, or Go w/ C, C++, or Rust)

Do you enjoy digging under the covers of languages and and their implementations? This role specifically is to work on integration of the sections of our engine written in C, C++, and Rust into the host languages (Ruby, Python, PHP, Node.js, Lua, Go, Java, .net). You will utilize their respective FFI support/extension APIs to hack on their runtimes and build instrumentation and the supporting functionality.

- Parser Engineer (C++, ANTLR)
