Kit Check is a DC based startup. Our technology blends hardware and software to track medications using RFID in hospitals and other acute-care settings. In the last year, we've grown from 7 to 84 hospitals and are expecting to add another 70 by the end of this year alone.

The reason we’re so successful is that our product allows hospitals to save money while also saving lives through a drastic reduction in human errors.

Our applications are written in angularJS, and Ruby on Rails and run in AWS. We use RDS for our data and as we rapidly collect more drug tracking and administration data we will need to build out a data analytics platform, as well. We need top-notch talent to solve very interesting problems at the intersection of hardware and software, the cloud and data analytics.

We have a very strong team of engineers and I am looking for a highly talented front end engineer who enjoys pushing the AngularJS envelope (backbone or knockout skills are also applicable).

You would be part of a team that is changing healthcare and pushing the model of a modern SaaS company. We are able to offer relocation to the right person. Please email nicole@kitcheck.com if you are interested.

NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH.

We have a position listed on usajobs.gov[1] (which is not the easiest site to search) for software development here. The listing says "internship" for the hiring program, but this is really a full-time permanent position in the agency.

Hard requirements are 1) U.S. Citizenship, and 2) that you be within 2 years of graduation (pre or post) from a degree-seeking program (undergraduate or graduate).

There is no specific language for this position (though Python + scipy + numpy is probably a big plus), the preference instead is on strong general CS fundamentals and interest in solving interesting problems. Broadly speaking, the responsibilities will be to provide assistance to a variety of different research and engineering projects through software development, as need arises.

This may sound a bit vague, but I'd be happy to describe some examples in more detail if anyone would like.

I am not technically on the hiring committee, but have agreed to help staff the position. PM me if you have any questions!

In this role you will work on challenging performance-tuning cases and will support our users by learning the way their applications are using MongoDB in order to make indexing, data modeling, and/or platform sizing and configuration recommendations.

As you advance, you will have opportunities to automate and productize performance diagnostic techniques and best-practices. Check out our open-source tool Dex, which can automatically recommend the correct indexes for slow queries.

Here are some challenges you'll face:

* Performance tuning large multi-terabyte sharded MongoDB clusters

* Helping customers achieve optimal database performance while taking in consideration their constraints around time and money

* Developing methodologies for identifying and solving performance issues

* Learning MongoDB best practices and writing related articles for our documentation portal and blog

How to apply:

* The Sourcery will be the first point of contact.

* All applications receive a response.
