Min Doktor | REMOTE or Malmö, Sweden (VISA can be arranged)

Min Doktor is the leading online primary medical care provider in the Nordics. We are setting up a group that will leverage the latest techniques in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to improve patient safety, as well as both doctor’s and patient’s experience of the service. Since we are vertically integrated, providing primary medical care from start to finish, you can expect to work on unique datasets, with direct access to skilled physicians for labeling of data and learning supervision. You will have impact: new ideas can be quickly prototyped against historic patient data and quickly implemented in our service with immediate effect on medical outcome for real patients.

We are now looking for talented Data Scientists or Software Engineers with applied experience and strong interest in the fields of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to join our team. Beyond strong problem modeling and solution skills you must be passionate about working with medical experts to understand data and provide explanations for the output of the machine learning algorithms you develop.

Primarily we are looking for candidates willing to relocate to Malmö, Sweden. But exceptional remote candidates will be considered. You can impress us with something you’ve built or an original thought.

Anonymous review: I tried this process because it sounded pretty fun and unique. One warning I have for anyone interested is that there are some big waiting times involved. I'll share my timeline. Some of the lags were on my end, but I was assured I had as much time as I needed. - Day 0-6 - First contact - Day 7 - Assigned work sample - Day 21 - Submitted work sample - Day 62 - Work sample results returned - Day 72 -…

Oof, bummer. Your experience is slower than average. We ran into a grading crunch when we launched our Enterprise product. When you submit your work to us, your submission is anonymous. Three engineers grade each submission. Platform Engineers will experience the greatest wait periods. The other roles tend to be quicker. Expected time-frame: * Proceed from application to work sample: 24 hours. * Complete work sample:…

It seems you truly care about feedback and the quality of your process. FWIW: I'm glad you are making these timelines transparent so people can decide whether the position is a good fit or not for them. As someone who is in the field for over a decade, it strikes me that this timeline is really long and you run the risk of getting people who couldn't get a better offer from another top employer faster. In addition, I personally have stopped engaging any hiring process that has a take home exam. My view is that my degrees and track record are sufficient evidence of my competence. Also, my time is really valuable .. so engaging with companies who are forced to waste their engineer's time as well as mine seems fair. Just one person's opinion :)

IMVU | Redwood City, California | Remote

http://im.vu/jobs

The teams at the top of our hiring priority right now are the operations, android, ios, and web services teams.

I lead the operations team, so I know the most about this position. For the operations team, we're looking to hire an SRE or a sysadmin. We're open to a remote employee for this team. We run one-week on-call shifts, so you'll need to be on-call once every six or seven weeks. The operations team is responsible for monitoring and maintaining about 800 servers (hardware is all handled by a different team). We're mostly running Ubuntu today, but we're in the middle of migrating our first service into coreos/kubernetes. We've got some legacy code in Perl, and most new code we write is in Go. Our biggest projects planned for the next year involve containerization, network storage, and possibly investigating migrating the most-elastic parts of our workload into amazon or google's cloud. We're open to non-coding contributors in a sysadmin role instead of SRE. For a remote employee, we'd want you to come on-site for the initial spin-up process.

For the Android and iOS teams, I know we'd love someone with 3d experience. I don't think those teams are very interested in a remote member.

The web services team writes mostly PHP and Haskell. This is working on the backend supporting our mobile, web, and native clients.

Our hiring process usually involves a couple of casual phone screens, then a series of on-site interviews.

The company runs a chat service and a marketplace for users to make and sell 3d content to each other. It's a fairly relaxed, laid-back company. I started working here in 2010, quit in 2013 to try working at Google, and came back here a year later when I decided that Google was far too stressful for me to be happy.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. My personal email is in my profile, and my work email is sweeks@imvu.com.

Hi! I went to your website to apply, but the application only includes space for a resume, no cover letter. Where can I mention that I saw you on HN?

Sorry about that! I forgot we recently changed the job posting service we used.

Paradromics | San Jose, CA | Remote or onsite | Machine learning specialist

Paradromics is building biomedical devices capable of reading and writing to a million individual neurons. Our platform processes gigabits of data per second, in real time, under challenging latency and resource constraints.

We are looking to add a machine learning specialist to the team to define, implement, and test methods for interpreting neural activity. You would work with our software team to augment Paradromics' neural data acquisition, processing, and visualization pipeline with machine intelligence. To give you some sense of our stack, we are using C (gnu11) and CUDA for the backend; WebSockets and WebGL for the frontend.

You should have experience in devising new statistical machine learning techniques for high bandwidth time series data (e.g. scene understanding of HD video) – but knowledge or experience in neuroscience is not a requirement. Additionally, we are looking for someone who isn't satisfied with just testing an ML method in Matlab or R, but who wants to see it running in real time on (high-end) commodity hardware.

At Paradromics you will have the opportunity to work with some of the best experimental and computational neuroscientists in the world, and you will work with some of the most exciting data ever generated: a direct feed from the human brain. If you are seeking challenging and impactful work, drop us a line at jobs@paradromics.com.

This sounds like a pretty cool opportunity for someone looking to migrate into gamedev from another flavour of software engineering. Given that most paths into gamedev seem to require working for terrible pay and several years of forced crunch as a junior, this sounds like a way to jump that queue if you've already proved your programming chops elsewhere.
