Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2020)

Supabase is the open source Firebase alternative. We're in the current YC batch. Supabase is fully remote, with people in Singapore, New Zealand, London, and Peru.

We're looking for an experienced designer or UX to work on a part-time basis. You'll be working directly with me to improve various parts of Supabase - website, app, documentation etc.

If you're interested, send me an email directly with a portfolio of your work (my email is in my profile).

We’re an industrial IoT company that builds our own hardware and writes software to monitor temperatures, control fridges, and track trailers as they transport goods across the country. We operate in Australia and the United States and have a distributed engineering team with the home base in Melbourne.

We’ve been running our IoT platform for over 15 years and now see an opportunity for a major revolution in our hardware. We’re developing a new hardware platform running Linux and using this momentum to rethink our IoT backend and database structure. The lead role here will own the firmware and software architecture of this platform, and work closely with the rest of the Engineering team to integrate it all. It's a big ask, but a great opportunity to make an impact and join a growing company in the driver's seat for a key project.

Our technology stack includes Typescript, Postgres, Kafka, Redis, Node.js, and Azure. For this project we're inclined to write the platform software in Python or Typescript but ultimately - you will make that decision!

If you’re the type of person we’re looking for, you’ll be nodding along to most of these points:

* You have likely worked in a consulting product development role or as a senior or lead engineer on a commercially released mechatronic device * You can read a PCB and datasheets and are fluent in a variety of protocols including Bluetooth (bonus points if you’ve implemented a v5.1 BLE stack!) * You know how to write an SRS and detailed design, and then validate a product against it * You’ve written firmware and device drivers in the past and are comfortable reviewing and integrating other people’s work in this area * You are used to with working with suppliers and development partners * You can demonstrate your ability to translate technical concepts into the language needed to work effectively with different types of people * You can point to a complex mechatronic system you have designed and can explain the code that controls it, its architecture, and intent

Interested? Email me your resume, GitHub profile, or anything you'd like to showcase to tom.allen@[this-company].com and use the text "HN-July-2020" as the subject. You can find the full job description below. We're looking for 10+ years experience for the Principal role, and 5+ for the Senior - apologies but we aren't able to support Junior engineers at this time. We aim to offer salaries in the 2nd quartile of Melbourne market rates.

I'm the Head of Engineering and these roles will report to me. Happy to answer any questions!

BRIO helps employers access Covid-19 testing to squash outbreaks before they claim lives and livelihoods. Pre-pandemic, we helped employers track chronic health issues via regular outpatient blood testing. Post-pandemic, we have a concrete plan to return to our prior work (TL;DR pre-pandemic work supports current work which supports post-pandemic work).

Team context: - Python 3, Flask, PostgreSQL, and Redis, running on AWS. Server-rendered HTML via Jinja, with Javascript and PostCSS.

- Currently 3 Sr. level engineers. Since it does not look like this problem is going away anytime soon, we’re building out the foundation for a permanent team

- In pure transparency, and by prior agreement, several of the current team members are not planning to stay long term

Key metrics: - >20 companies served including many in the food supply chain, and multiple outbreaks quashed. ~60% month-on-month growth
