Stasis Labs | Los Angeles | Onsite or Remote | https://stasislabs.com

Stasis Labs is hiring our first full-stack web engineer to help us improve the quality of medical care through smarter patient monitoring. We are working on a hard problem, and aim to make a sizable impact through technology. We build a connected vitals monitoring system for patients who are not currently monitored, and are launching our first product this year to Indian hospitals. We just graduated from the first class of the Techstars Healthcare Accelerator, in Partnership witch Cedars-Sinai.

We are seeking someone with experience in full-stack web development, and if you have done dev-ops before that is a big plus. You will be writing full-stack code in an environment where security and data integrity are critical.

Our software stack includes C++ running on our hardware device, an Android application for doctors, and a web application (node.js backend, React frontend). We're using both Bluetooth Low Energy and wi-fi. Our cloud backend is an integral part of our product.

You will primarily be on the web side (backend, frontend, and infrastructure if you choose), but you will be exposed to and helping integrate our Android app and medical device as well.

You will have a great deal of autonomy and be responsible for crafting the culture, technology and processes of our company. We're a small team and are looking for someone who can learn quickly and become competent in multiple parts of the tech stack, so we hope the idea of working with a variety of technologies excites you. Startup experience is a plus.

We are just beginning, and are striving to build an inclusive and positive company culture.

+ Requirements:

---- Experience with node

---- Experience building single page applications in JavaScript

+ Preferred:

---- Experience managing highly reliable cloud servers on AWS or similar IaaS provider

---- Experience with React

---- Experience working at a startup

To apply, please email a resume and cover letter (in the email body is fine) to software@stasislabs.com

I'll post to this thread because this is very relevant for the hiring companies. Hunter and Schmit did a meta-study of 85 years of research on hiring criteria. [1] There are three attributes you need to select for to identify performing employees in intellectual fields. - General mental ability (Are they generally smart) Use WAIS or if there are artifacts of GMA(Complex work they've done themselves) available use the…

Maybe talk to your lawyer or HR person before using IQ tests tho.

migenius | http://www.migenius.com | New York, NY | ONSITE, Full-time

migenius specialises in photorealistic 3D rendering for the cloud and web applications. Our main product, RealityServer, provides a simple web services based API to the NVIDIA Iray rendering engine. We both license software and build custom solutions for our users. We are based in Melbourne, Australia with offices in London and Tokyo and are establishing a presence in the US. We are looking for a developer to work embedded with one of our key customers. Midtown Manhattan location.

Ideally we are looking for something of a generalist since the demands of the role will evolve over time (sometimes in short spaces of time). The successful applicant should have strong software development skills and be able to quickly work through helping determine feasibility and mock up of potential ideas but will also potentially be working on production development as well.

Flexibility in working hours is important since there is a need to overlap some of the working day with the team in Australia. Initially after starting there would also be a requirement to spend 2-3 months in Australia working directly with our team to get oriented and obtain a good overview of our technologies. Good communication skills are essential as customer interaction is required.

The role will require working with high end 3D technologies both developed internally and licensed from third-parties. The visual nature of the results achieved working on our projects is extremely rewarding and there are also lots of interesting toys to play with such as servers crammed with GPUs and remote GPU clusters. We have a close partnership with NVIDIA and their advanced rendering team (our CEO, that's me, is a former NVIDIA and mental images employee).

No specific technologies listed here since we have flexible requirements and are more looking for the right fit with someone who is interested in what we are doing and can work on multiple ideas and projects at once. If you are interested in 3D graphics, particularly photorealistic rendering as well as web development, CAD, architecture or design we cut across all of these types of areas.

Interview if conducted prior to early-September would be in person with me and our customer in New York, if after that interview would be remote. We don't generally do coding exercises in the interview but we will be looking for an ability to talk in detail about your previous project and experiences and ideally you should have something you can actually show of your past work. Email jobs@migenius.com if the position sounds interesting, please mention Hacker News when contacting us so we know it was from here.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

"Smart and gets things done".

Yes, but this is a quantitative way to measure those things. "Smart and gets things done" leaves the door for touchy feely interpretations, which leaves the door open for gaming the system.

> Yes, but this is a quantitative way to measure those things.

Well, except that only one of the three parts suggested is clearly quantitative.

Silicon Valley Bank | http://www.svb.com/ | Full-time or contract in San Francisco | ONSITE REMOTE INTERNS VISA (non-H1B) Help us build a modern, developer-friendly, API platform for banking services. Banks are rife with inefficient, legacy technologies and Byzantine processes. It's frustrating for banks and even more frustrating for their customers. We're a small team of predominantly ex-Standard Treasury [1] engine…

What in the world is "ONSITE REMOTE INTERNS VISA"? Are you trying to hire foreign students as cheaper interns?

I guess they are open to both on-site and remote positions. Also interns. And will sponsor Visas. That's the only interpretation that makes sense to me.

... you could also try entering that in Scribblenauts to see what sort of creature comes up.
