Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2019)

Track cancer, not ads.

If you're a software engineer looking to make a positive impact on human health without compromising on cutting-edge technology or career benefits, consider applying to 10x Genomics.

10x Genomics is a fast-growing biotech company that develops hardware, software, and chemistry that enables researchers to study cancer, the immune system, and biology at an unprecedented resolution. Researchers at 93 of the top 100 global research institutions and 13 of the top 15 global pharmaceutical companies use our technology to make groundbreaking discoveries in diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, cystic fibrosis, asthma, and many more. We went public last month and it was the largest healthcare IPO of 2019.

Software is at the heart of the 10x Genomics platform. We develop software to convert petabytes of raw sequencing data to something scientists can explore programmatically or visually. We have developed internal and customer-shipping systems in Go, use React/Redux, Typescript, and Electron for easy-to-use visualization applications, and are making increasing use of Rust to accelerate and harden our bioinformatics code.

There are open positions for front-end software engineers (remote-friendly), full stack engineers, backend engineers, QA engineers, site reliability engineers, computational biologists, and firmware engineers. See https://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/ or email me (kevin.wu@10xgenomics.com) directly.

We are Robolink, we make robots meant to teach about coding and AI for the classroom. We're a small startup team of 7, with years of experience (and a few awards under our belt!) in creating educational robotics for helping kids to fall in love with coding. Our latest product, Zumi, is a small self-driving car kit meant to teach students about what AI is and how it works. We're looking for someone who can join our exciting young team to bring our software skills to the next level. We are seeking to build a best-in-class product that will be the first fully-developed product meant to make AI approachable for a 6-12th grade classroom setting. We are looking for a software engineer with experience leading a team of engineers to build software for a hardware product. If this describes you or sounds exciting to you, we'd love to talk:

You have experience working with educational technology and know how to see a technical project from conception to deployment, and through post-launch maintenance and further iterations. You will have full control of the entire cycle of software development and will seek to strive for reliability, efficiency, user friendliness, and ease of maintenance in the code and the work that you produce. You are ready and willing to guide our junior engineers as needed, so that our development team can jump to that next level of quality. Importantly, like us, you have a passion for teaching the world about coding and wanting to create the tools to make kids fall in love with coding and robotics.

Tech: Python/Flask, React, Pi 0, Arduino, TensorFlow, Keras, OpenCV
