Chronic illness and the decisions people make and actions they take everyday – from their activity level to taking medications or smoking – drive the vast majority of the $3 Trillion in US healthcare costs. Our team has achieved breakthrough results in changing the behaviors that determine health outcomes, such as doubling adherence to medications that keep people healthy and out of the hospital, establishing new insights into patient engagement.

These results were enabled by the Way To Health platform, a unique technology asset now poised to move beyond research into broader clinical applications. The role we’re looking to fill is critical to expanding our impact. We need someone who can not only work with our team of internationally recognized thought leaders to identify and implement functionality and designs making interventions more effective, but also has the ability to evolve Way to Health into a scalable clinical platform that can be deployed efficiently in larger populations.

This role also affords the right candidate a great deal of autonomy in both how you do your work and in crafting a vision for the technology. We’re looking for team members who love problem solving and finding better ways to get things done.

Keywords: Satellites, Space, Linux, C, Python, embedded systems, RTOS, microcontrollers, electronics and hardware, distributed systems and networking, EE, PCBs, etc.

Overview: Spire is a global nano-satellite powered data platform. We build and launch small remote-sensing "cubesats" to capture valuable data from the earth which we then offer to companies (AIS tracking and Maritime domain awareness, weather/climate, etc.).

On June 30th we announced our $40M series B led by Promus Ventures with participation from Bessemer Venture Partners (Skybox). This additional capital will help fuel our growth as we expand and advance the capabilities of our technology, and work to launch our first constellation of 20 cubesats by late 2015.

We are a fast moving, energetic start-up applying agile development principles to a traditionally sluggish and overly-burdened industry (and having fun doing it).

You will never be bored at Spire!

Please email Darin@spire.com if you are interested in learning more. Previous work in satellites not required.

Greetings fellow HN perusers!

First off - I am not a recruiter. I'm the actual person (employee #5!) you'd be working with, and I'm looking for someone as driven and passionate about security as I am to come help us make a security product that doesn't suck.

- Who am I - I built the backend here at ThinAir, but previously I worked on Palantir's infosec team, as well as a bunch of open-source stuff (I'm the current maintainer of the Sulley Fuzzing Framework, I've contributed security fixes to ElasticSearch, as well as a few other things).

I love development and information security, so this was a natural marriage of roles for me. I get to build things I want, and change the future of data security at the same time! Groovy.

- What we do - We're ThinAir (https://thinair.com/), and we're changing the (currently awful) data security landscape. We aim to solve the problem of breaches on both the large and small scales, with a good focus on usability from all sides (end user, admins, CSOs, etc). We don't believe security products should be a game of "select 2" in the set of {real security, usability, stability}.

- What we need - We're looking for 1-2 more django peeps with decent security knowledge to come help me build out new features in our Django backend. Do you like self-documenting APIs and inception-like encrypted encryption keys? You're probably who I'm looking for. Even if you aren't exactly writing your own encryption algorithms, I still want to talk to you! Security is a mindset, not a finite set of knowledge.

- How to get in touch - I'm not going to make you submit your resume to a website. I just want to talk to you for 10-15 mins.

Email me (ryan@thinair.com) and we can arrange a time to talk - either in-person over coffee or over the phone.

Be prepared to answer one very simple question - "What was the last cool thing you worked on, and why was it cool?"

Cheers! Ryan
