Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2016) • Hacker News Board

NullSpace VR (YCF F15, nullspacevr.com) is building a haptic feedback and tracking system for virtual reality - our haptic suit and gloves let users reach out and touch the virtual world around them. We're gearing up for a crowdfunding launch in the near future, and we're looking for a marketing director to lead the marketing charge.

If you've had a hand in running a crowdfunding campaign (or several) in the past, and you have some experience presenting a cohesive face through media outlets, we'd love to have you on board! Excitement about VR and gaming is also a big plus.

Get in touch at jobs@nullspacevr.com with any questions, or send your resume!

Praetorian | Austin, Texas | REMOTE (For principal and staff positions) Praetorian is different. We are a collective of highly-technical engineers focused on helping our clients solve their most difficult security problems. Rather than break things over and over, our goal is to have an actual impact in making the world a better place. 100% privately owned and self-funded, we are focused on doing the right thing over…

This one seemed interesting so I gave it a bit of effort. The ad is well written and pulls the right levers. Well done on that front.

I'm a bit disappointed in the challenges page. The copy on the site tries to emphasize how difficult they are and that anyone who passes the challenges would be considered a serious candidate. While they were fun challenges, they're way too easy.

I completed multiple challenges then sent along my information. As soon as they saw a resume that didn't include much experience in the security domain, I was basically ignored.

Recommendations for Praetorian:

If you want the challenges to mean anything, make them more significant so that completion would actually be a strong positive signal for the candidate rather than a BS-detector. If someone passes your challenges, you should be begging them to work for you, not the other way around.

Cut back a bit on the elitist rhetoric, it is a bit of a turn-off. I think it will attract more mediocrity and scare away some great talent.

Final word: the challenges are fun for anyone and if you like that kind of thing, you will enjoy beating them.

So far I've spent about 40 minutes applying to 1 job.

Edit: 60 minutes

I do want to work there so I'm going to do it anyways.

EDIT EDIT:

I wish I could say it was one of those tests where I learned something even when I failed. Good to see my Masters in CS from Stanford has no value to Ford.

Recursion Pharmaceuticals | SLC, Utah | Onsite, full-time

Recursion is a startup with about 20 people, but we generate rich biological data at a pace comparable to the biggest institutions anywhere doing biology and disease research. We have literally millions of images from experiments we conducted in our lab, and we generate terabytes more each week. We’ve gotten more than $2M in multiple grants from the NIH, and last month closed a $13M series A led by Lux Capital. We’re using imaging experiments to turn human cell experiments into massive amounts of rich biological data so we can find treatments for many diseases as fast as possible.

Hiring:

* Software engineering: Full-stack Software Engineer - Front-end Software Engineer - Machine Learning Engineer - VP / Director of Engineering - Engineering Product Manager - Data Engineer

* Data science: Research Data Scientist - Deep Learning Computational Scientist - Data Scientist - Computational biologist / bioinformatics

http://www.recursionpharma.com/careers for more details and to apply. Blake (CTO) and Ashwin (lead engineer) get notified immediately.

Logistics: Salt Lake City, Utah. Hiking/running/biking is literally out our back door, and it's half an hour to 5 ski resorts. Competitive pay, health insurance, relocation assistance (onsite is required), equity, a top-caliber team, and help make a massively positive impact. Happy to sponsor/extend visas, but you need to already be authorized to work in the US--we can’t handle the lottery at this stage.

Tech: Data science: python scientific stack (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, bokeh, etc). Software engineering: go, python, angular.js, react, javascript on aws and gce. Deep learning (e.g. convolutional networks) we're mainly using the python frameworks (keras, theano, tensorflow, etc).

Our team of ~20: http://www.recursionpharma.com/team
