Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2018)

The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard was launched in 2004 to improve human health by using genomics to advance our understanding of the biology and treatment of human disease, and to help lay the groundwork for a new generation of therapies.

The Hail team's mission is to build tools to enable rapid analysis and exploration of biological datasets (100s of TB and tripling yearly). We are committed to open science and everything we do is open source. We currently develop in Scala, Spark, Python and C/C++ but will use any tools we need to get the job done. Come help us build the future of big scientific data analysis.

We have multiple positions open:

1. We're looking for skilled senior/principal engineers who have a solid CS/engineering background, can quickly write clear, correct code and have experience working on large, complex projects.

2. We have an opening for an ML engineer. Solid CS/engineering background a must. Experience with modern deep learning frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow) and deep learning models required. Experience with Bayesian methods a plus. Experience with RNAseq data analysis a plus.

3. We have an opening for a distributed systems engineer. Help design the architecture that will allow to derive scientific insights from petabyte-scale datasets now and scale 3x/year for the foreseeable future.

4. We have an opening for an engineer to support the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) project. gnomAD is among the most comprehensive catalogues of human genetic variation in the world, and one of the largest genetic datasets. Analysis results are shared publicly and have had sweeping impact on biomedical research and the clinical diagnosis of genetic disorders. See gnomad.broadinstitute.org.

You don't need experience in biology or our particular technologies. We work in a highly multi-disciplinary environment (with software engineers, biologists, bioinformaticians, doctors, operations and mathematicians). Self-improvement is a fundamental part of our culture. You must be excited to be challenged and learn new things.

I'm the hiring manager. Get in touch with me directly if you have any questions: cseed@broadinstitute.org.

Tempo operates a factory in SF to produce printed circuit boards extremely quickly - in doing so, we give our customers the physical equivalent of a fast compiler, enabling them to turn their designs into real products significantly faster than they could before. Our customers build rockets, drones, medical devices, and much more - working at Tempo means you can accelerate all of these industries at once.

Providing a system to produce circuit boards quickly and correctly means we're both a software shop and an advanced manufacturer. Our software team is still pretty small (6 engineers) which means any new hires will still have an outsize impact on the direction of our technology, and on the company as a whole.

We love hiring strong generalists who take initiative and act as part-time PMs when they're working on projects.

Some projects you might work on:

  - Offering real-time, automated manufacturing feedback based on certain parameters of our customers' designs. Think linting for hardware.

  - Optimizing our factory processes with machine learning and scheduling algorithms.

  - Encoding the three-dimensional structure of each order's components (e.g. resistors, capacitors) for our assembly robots, in order to speed up assembly and ensure minimal manufacturing defects.

  - Optimizing our automated optical inspection machine to make it faster than any in the industry.

We are looking for 2 open source software engineering interns this Summer (May through August), for an 8-16 week paid internship. Our interns will work directly on and contribute to projects within the Snowplow open source stack (https://github.com/snowplow). A Snowplow intern loves coding, enjoys experimenting with new technologies and is happiest working "in the open" on community/team projects. Technologies we use at Snowplow include Scala, Rust, JRuby, Go, Hadoop, Kinesis, Redshift, Spark, Akka and Kafka.

This is a paid internship; we will consider remote candidates who are up to UTC +/- 5 hours maximum. If you're interested, please email miriam@snowplowanalytics.com, and tell us about a piece of software you are proud to have written. (And don't be afraid to suggest specific projects/initiatives/features that you would like to work on in your internship.)

Build aws for physical infrastructure.

Samsara was started by the founders of Meraki and has a small, tight-knit engineering team that's quickly growing. We are looking for people who love building and seeing their code get used by customers.

Our backend is powered by golang/graphql/grpc and our frontend applications use react/react native/typescript.
