Paradromics | https://paradromics.com | San Jose, CA | Onsite/remote | Software engineer

At Paradromics, we are developing the next generation of brain-machine interfaces. Our BMI grants the brain a massively parallel channel to digital devices, enabling life-changing therapies for Parkinson's and essential tremor, and serving as the data backbone to a new generation of neuroprostheses.

We're looking for a software engineer to help us develop the software and algorithms underpinning our first product, a groundbreaking instrument for neuroscience research. The instrument is based on a commodity PC, running Linux, and we are looking for help at all levels of the stack, from the GUI that scientists will use to interact with the instrument, and the analytical visualizations that will present meaningful experimental feedback to the user, to the engine that stores, indexes, and manages recorded data to disk.

Email us at hn@paradromics.com, we'll be happy to hear from you.

Nava | Washington DC & San Francisco | Experienced full-stack developers/devops/product manager/operations | On-site - Full-time

We're a small team of engineers and designers from Silicon Valley that came out to DC last year to help fix Healthcare.gov. It turns out there’s a lot more to fix, and it’s surprising how much can be fixed by a small group of resourceful people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government.

Our revamped Healthcare.gov application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time. The login system we rebuilt is about two orders of magnitude more reliable and two orders of magnitude less expensive; for example, it’s about $70M less per year to operate.

People die because the Veteran's Administration is months behind in processing claims. The Social Security Administration pays benefits to millions of deceased Americans. $80 billion is spent every year on federal IT contracting, and 96% of projects are deemed failures. [0]

That’s not because there’s some conspiracy or because government is inherently incapable of doing it right. These are complicated legacy systems and processes, and there are very few people with modern tech industry experience who are aware of these problems and willing to help fix them. You can help change that.

Our team is about fifteen people (Stanford, Google, Khan Academy, Dropbox, YC alums) in DC and SF, and we plan to grow significantly in 2016.

We’re looking for: * experienced full-stack engineers * experienced devops engineers * a product manager with a technical background (DC only) * a technical project manager (DC only) * a hyper-resourceful operations person

We have a social mission (we incorporated as a public benefit corporation), but we pay market compensation (above market, for DC) and equity.

If you'd like to build software and infrastructure that radically improves how our government serves people, we’d love to hear from you at jobs@navahq.com.
